From Silents to Studios

The use of sound in Film was first brought in and executed by The Warner brothers. This idea of sound in Film kind of worried other companies because they didn't know if their film was going to be  a laughing stock. They were worried because it added more people to the production crew and they thought it has going to be harder. Companies also didn't want to spend a lot of money on sound rooms. Warner brothers were not all there financially so they tried everything they could to keep getting money. Many Actors started to flee the business because they were not really the star of the films.

The years 1930-1950 were known as the "studio years". The were called this because companies made factory systems that made films. This big shots had members under contracts which meant they could not work for any other companies till the contracts were up. The Factories led to quality in films.
