Movietone Recording Process Through Light Modulated by Sound
A microphone converts sound into electrical vibrations that power an amplified recording light. The light modulates a narrow edge of the film as the camera records both picture and voice. Aside from motor drive and a wire link to the telephonic system, movietone recording resembles standard cinema methods.

Film sound reproduction via light and photo cell
The standard film with picture and sound moves through a projector with a light driven sound strip. Light variations from the film’s sound record strike a photo-electric cell, converting them to electrical signals. These are amplified and carried to speakers behind the screen, enabling synchronized sound.
