But in reality, these theaters were full of noise. With today’s modern expectations, silent films sound rather boring (no pun intended). By 1906, the first full-length silent film The Story of the Kelly Gang debuted in Australia. At the turn of the century, showing films in theaters became a common occurrence and form of amusement (even though most of the films were less than 20 minutes in length).
Technical challenges discouraged filmmakers from wanting to synchronize sound until convenient devices like the Audion amplifier tube completely changed the way film was perceived.įilms were first created in the late 1870s using motion photography. Silent films reigned for nearly four decades before sound was added to movies in the late 1920s.
Back in the day, like way back in the 1800s, the world’s first films were never synced to recorded sound.
