Description
University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Emerita Lea Jacobs joins us for a discussion of film rhythm in the early sound era. We discuss the various ways films can deal with on-set singing and musical numbers, the incredibly complex and constrictive ways in with early sound films were constrained when it came to everything from blocking and camera placement to editing, Mamoulian and Lubitsch’s respective uses of music as rhythmic devices, and the difficulties that audio revisionism engenders.
Throughout this episode, we’ll be referencing various videos that are available at the bottom of these shownotes.
