Guest Simon Bull Posted 26 May , 2003 Share Posted 26 May , 2003 I am not at all knowledgeable about the technology of filming, but I am aware that the first "talkies" were not made until some years after the Great War. Accordingly, when there is sound attached to documentary footage of the Great War, is this "fake" sound dubbed on later, or did they in fact have the technology to record sound and film, but not in a form suitable for use outside documentary film?

john w. Posted 26 May , 2003 Share Posted 26 May , 2003 Totally fake... used for us to get something from it when we see it now... The Somme filmed in 1916 had its own piano score to go with it, and that conveyed the emotion and drama of the film.. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 26 May , 2003 Share Posted 26 May , 2003 Simon, In the documentary on the series the sound man described where they got the sounds from. Also some of the battle scenes were rushes of training exercises that took place after the war! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
