The importance of music

Music makes the world go 'round...

The Blacksmithing Scene which debuted in the year 1893, was the first short film that added music to it. And boy did it make a huge difference. Questioning why they were using realtime music during the movie can easily be answered that it was the progression of technology. Yes, the black and white film was nothing special, just three men hammering on an anvil while passing a bottle of beer around. However it was technologically savvy because of something that had never been previously used- music.

Below is the link of the Blacksmithing Scene. Yes, it's simple. But it was the beginning of a progression of what we can all appreciate now. Film with sound has truly evolved throughout the past 100 years.
