Scoring, Synchronizing, and Re-Recording Sound Pictures

K. F. Morgan

Motion picture engineers will understand better perhaps than electrical engineers the necessity for what has been termed “dubbing.” The entire realm of trick photography and duping as a necessary adjunct to editing of the silent motion picture now has its counterpart in sound production in this process. Dubbing may be subdivided and classified as follows: (1) “Scoring,” or adding music to a picture that may or may not already have dialogue or sound; (2) “Synchronizing,” or adding new sound effects or dialogue in synchronism with a picture which has previously been photographed with or without sound. (3) “Re-recording,” or transferring a film or disc record to a new film or disc record by the electrical process originally used.
