Sound inpact to early cinama and modern cinema

In the early cinema because film were silent they had to use music to show the emotion of the film so people could understand if a scene was sad, happy or funny.


Then when films started to have musicals (Don Juan) I think that gave a nice change. When the film The Jazz Singer was released being the first talkie film, it was a big change from other films because of the talking part which i think gave a big impact to early cinema.


As time goes by cinema films started to have talking parts and sound effects but again music was still important but it was more to set the mood like if they were at a haunted location there would be a creepy music or if it was a romantic film then it would be romanic music.

These days because of the amount of instruments we've got now it gives different and lot of variety of background music plus of all the different genre films we get different sounds than what there was in the earlier time's. I would say that music is not as important as it was in the earlier years but again you still need the music or the film would be dull, but also with big films like Star wars and Jaw, the music is well know from being part of those film, so when people hear it they would automatically think of that film.
