Note- So it a term for the name of the sound/film process which they created through different inventions of syncing sound to film .

1930'S Experimented with Centre Speaker L C R
CON OPT -OPTICAL SOUNDTRACKS -COMPOSITE OPTICAL
ACADEMY OF MOTIONS PICTURES
ARTS AND SCIENCE (AMPAS)
They created a new film standard
AUDIO ADDED TO THE FILM Strip (35mil)- FREQUENCY AND AMPLITUDE
Note- so it's on the left side of the film strip
2 TYPES OF "SOUND ON FILM"
-OPTICAL - 1930 Stereo - 2 channels on left side of strip 35 mil
- MAGNETIC- 1950's 6 Channels TOD A.O (70 mil) larger. BOTH SIDES OF THE FILM STRIP!
(today they use this format in IMAX )
OPTICAL FILM- the magnetic strip they use today for showing films.
1. Variable Area Sound Track
2 Variable density
opacity - lighter and darker and frequency / amplitude
(Today we use stereo optical sound tracks )
1939- THE ACADEMY CURVE or( The N Curve- Normal)
AMPAS - Brought it in to improve the audio quality, before 1339 there was no standard of quality.
Thet created a way to treat the sound
Flat 100Hz - 1.6 kHz down 7 db at 40 Hz, down 10 db and 5Hz down 18 db at 8 kHz
