Today we accomplished our task of presenting one of the worlds greatest producer of film, television, and music entertainment. Warner Brothers.
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’.
