From the inception of motion pictures, various inventors attempted to unite sight and sound through "talking" motion pictures. The Edison Company is known to have experimented with this as early as the fall of 1894 under the supervision of W. K. L. Dickson with a film known today as [Dickson Experimental Sound Film]. The film shows a man, who may possibly be Dickson, playing violin before a phonograph horn as two men dance.
The concept of marrying sight and sound in film has developed greatly since. Through developing factors such as diegetic & non-diegetic sound, soundtracks and other effective techniques, the use of sound in moving imagery has been effective in enhancing miss en scene and creating a larger impact on the audience.
