My contribution to this presentation was collecting the information from the web, producing the presentation in Power point, making the effects and presenting it to the class.
I worked along with my classmates.
THE HISTORY OF WARNER BROTHERS
It
was founded in 1903 by the four Warner Brothers. Harry, Albert, Sam and Jack.
They instantly started film making and invested a lot of money into their
films. They were a success from the start with their films, Life of an American
Firefighter and The Great Train Robbery.
Warner
Bros. were the pioneer of synchronised sound and created ‘talkies’. This didn’t
catch on so well and they made huge losses. They soon vowed that they would use
synchronised sound for background purposes only.
In
1928, Warner Bros. released Lights of New York, the first all-talking feature.
Due to its success, the movie industry converted entirely to sound almost
overnight. By the end of 1929, all the major studios were exclusively making
sound films.
Soon
WB started producing more socially realistic storylines which were ‘Torn from the press.’
They
soon became ‘Gangsta Studio’.
