Description

The introduction of post-production during the transition from silent cinema to the Synchronized Sound era in the 1920s' American studio system resulted in what has been a previously unheralded revolution in filmmaking. This transition made possible a product that could be easily mass-produced, serving both to transform and homogenize film presentation, fundamentally creating a new art form. This book studies the discourses surrounding post-production, as well as the aesthetic effects of the post-production’s introduction during the 1920s and 1930s, by exploring the philosophies and issues faced by practitioners during this transitional, transformative period.
