The Nazi’s sent a film crew to the Warsaw ghetto where they would film the Jews in their everyday lives most of the time being staged.

Some silent films, however, were accompanied by full orchestras, or single instruments. The primary steps of global sound cinema were introduced in mid to late 1920’s. “Talking pictures” or “talkies” were sound films that included synchronized dialog, usually made with the Vitaphone, a popular sound-on-disc
