Phonograph records are based on the movies in 1920s and 1930s, and have their medium characteristics of short length, which is equal to a very short piece of writing, and their reliance of sounds only. Therefore they positively utilize movies' conventions. They use the universal dramatic elements of movies, topics, or rely on conventions, the method of patterned expressions. Using those ways they try to help the listeners understand quickly and keep continuous interests.
Phonograph record plays are the world of strong emotions. They always show the basic feelings like angers, frustrations and curses, so they are passionate with these reiterating emotions. In addition, a movie talker's voice delivers the world of the passions more lively and effectively. A movie talker's voice, which is usually hoarse and eloquent, wonderfully conveys the passionate world of phonograph record plays, sometimes with exclamations and sometimes with appeals, without adding or extracting.
Finally, phonograph record plays make the most of their characteristic of being a sound medium and diversely utilize a movie talker's voice, orchestra's music, solo singing with arias or popular songs, etc. An orchestra's prelude effectively helps listeners to absorb into a movie-like narrative or let them recognize the play's atmosphere. Background music and effect sound are positively used to make the narrative lively and interesting. The repeated solo singing's insertion of a best actress of the age increases deep emotions in appreciating a phonograph record play.
