Silent Movie
Silent film was the very earliest kind of filmmaking. It was invented around 1894 and was state-of-the-art entertainment until 1929 when sound film appeared (in which the actors could actually speak on film). Without spoken dialogue technology, silent filmmakers had to tell their stories with exaggerated action, printed title cards which provided commentary, and clever plots which could be pulled off pictorally. Live music, played by a skilled organist, accompanied silent films in the theatres, and added to the experience of seeing these stories on the big screen.
