The studio system, thanks to new regulations from Washington in 1948, forced the studios to restructure and sell off numerous assets. In addition, to stars clamoring for better contracts and the emergence of television, this opened the door for independent filmmakers to take a shot at making films that were outside the comfort zone of Hollywood. Independent film was not always known as such and went under several names such as underground cinema and New York cinema (Marie A. para 1). The independent

As a Los Angeles native, I’ve seen and conquered all of the numerous tourist attractions that it holds many times. Nonetheless, I’ve found a personal favorite in Griffith Park, particularly in its famous Griffith Observatory. Griffith Park is a large municipal park covering over four thousand acres of land that holds not only the Observatory, but many picnic areas, hiking trails, the Los Angeles Zoo, an equestrian center, pony rides, a carousel, and much more as well. I often find myself taking part

There are many different movie genres that I enjoy watching such as action, drama, horror, and comedy are some to name a few. Recently however, I have been more entertained watching a certain type of movie, biopics, because they encompass from a variety of my favorite movie genres. The biopic Malcolm x, directed by Spike Lee, stands out to me the most. It is one of my favorite films because it features my favorite actor and director, it is based upon someone (Malcolm X) whom I admire, and the purpose

The Sandlot Review Sandlot was a great movie! It had humorous moments, and sad moments. Being honest, the characters were pretty good at acting for being kids. Yeah, there were a few parts in the movie that were a little cringe worthy, but a lot of it was laughter and moments where it was hard to look away! You’d like it if you were to watch it! This movie was directed by someone named David Evans. Scotty Smalls the main character, moved into a new neighborhood, made some new friends that loved

Retelling the Accepted Public Narrative The financial crisis of 2008 was an enormous catastrophe and therefore a perfect story to be adapted to film. Retelling the story of the collapse of Wall Street had a further result than merely being lucrative though. Movies like Inside Job (2010), Too Big to Fail (2011) and The Big Short (2015) also inform people about the causes and dealings of the financial collapse.

Different shooting angles can express the tone, character, and tension in a scene, exaggerating the abilities and stakes at play. The constant trade off between High and low angles between the protagonist and antagonist generates a sense that the protagonist can fail, and this can make an action scene much

Entertainment in the 1930’s The 1930’s brought new forms of entertainment, most of which are still relevant today, but with incredible upgrades. During the Great Depression, people had to find ways to keep themselves busy, and keep themselves distracted from the hard life they were living. They wanted to keep away from dealing with the harsh reality of things. Many forms of entertainment became popular, such as baseball, football, movies, and the radio, and still thrive today, but with less of a
