A Research on the Hollywood Film Industry
1.
2. Hollywood: An Introduction
• Hollywood was originally the name
of the area where film studios
started settling down. Later on, it
became so associated with the Film
Industry that the Industry itself was
given the name.
• The gradual growth of many
industries, such as
Paramount, 20th Century
Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer and Warner Bros in that
area started established Hollywood
as the most dominant film Industry
in the world.
3. Genres and Classification
Although Hollywood boasts
of having dealt with all
sorts of genres such as
Action Films, Comedies,
Chick-Flicks, Adventure
Films and Dramatic
Films, it has been said
that the Industry is a
romance oriented one,
and that most films
blend the romance genre
with other sorts. A lot of
films being made in
Hollywood now, consist
of multiple genres.
4. Titanic
An example of the success
Hollywood has achieved, is the
movie Titanic (1997). A multi
genre film, which combined
romance with a bit of drama and
was based on real events; it was
destined to be a failure initially
with a budget of $200 million.
However, it proved critics wrong by
making a whopping revenue of
600.8 million and remains to be
the king of domestic box offices.

7. Hollywood and the Modern Cinema
From the 1950s onwards, American
films have become increasingly
divided into two
categories: Blockbusters and
Independent Films.
Studios have focused on relying on a
few extremely expensive films every
year in order to reap high profits. Such
blockbusters consist of star power,
high production values and CGI
(Computer-generated Imagery) all of
which provide to a huge budget. These
films rely upon star power, good
directing and large scale advertising to
attract audience.

world
Due to globalization, the
United States government has
been promoting free trade
agendas and Hollywood has
become a world-wide cultural
source. The success on
Hollywood export markets can
be seen from the sudden
boom of American media
corporations across the globe,
and from the big budgeted
Hollywood films that are
widely known all over the
world.

collectively generate several
hundred movies every year,
making the United States one of
the most prolific and profitable
producers of films in the world.
