Visual recording of speech ; Bali
Scope and Contents
SEGMENT 1: Visual Recording of Speech. This segment examines new technological advances in the visual recording of speech. In a remote broadcast from the Haskins Laboratory in New York, Frank Cooper, Alvin Lieberman and Pierre de Lattre demonstrate the simplified common patterns which make it possible to hear and understand the sounds of speech. A sound spectograph and a filmed x-ray of people speaking are displayed. SEGMENT 2: Bali. Dr. Sudjarwo, Indonesian delegate to the United Nations, and Claire Holt, an authority on Balinese culture, present and discuss a documentary on the art, culture and customs of the Balinese people, the sophisticated development of dance forms, the carved musical instruments, flowers, and food. The Balinese were formerly governed by the British and Dutch before their island became part of Indonesia. The film material shows religious rituals, a native market, cock fighting, trance dances, funerals and cremations, and folklore about witches.
