Research - 1930s "Talkies"

The first ever form of music video is believed to be from the mid 20s to the late 30s when what was known as the "talkies" progressively became more recognisable. The talkies were short musical films; one of the most popular releases was a series known as "Spooney Melodies" which was produced by Warner Bros in the 1930s.


This is the only surviving 5 minute production. It is clear to see that Warner Bros configured a way of representing audio into a visual art piece that compliments each other well. This became really popular to the public and led many musicians and film production companies to adopt this technique.
