Classic Hollywood Style

As early as 1880's, filming is starting its industry through the invention of the first movie camera. Back then, movies were the most popular source of entertainment because it's cheaper than any kind. So, motion pictures became the most important tools in communication, entertainment and mass media. Movies glued all three together.

Different kinds of techniques are appearing since the movies came. And so, The Classic Hollywood Style became the most dominant of all.

It is the most effective of all because it is simple, in a way that, it slowly affects you through out the movie without realizing it. And even after you've watched it, you're stuck with it. That's what makes the people hooked in to movies.

This style fools viewer's with their own will. An invisible style of telling a story. It makes people think what they want it to be. For example, we all know it's just prosthetics but we really want to think that it is a real wound. That's how the style works.

Classical Hollywood Narrative Films has these plots that goes through the whole movie in a linear position that focuses on one main character. It uses the Three-act Narrative, orientation, complication and resolution. A situation will be introduced, a problem will complicate things till they find the answer to these complications that will tie everything up and give a remarkable closure.

There are different kinds of shots used in film making.

POV (Point of View) is my favorite, it is the kind of shot where it makes you see what the main character in the movie sees. It gives you the chance to feel what the character feels, it's like you're in the movie. You can easily understand the feelings being delivered from the movie.

In our time, it is easier to make a movie because of the wide spread use of technology but the style used is still the Classic Hollywood Style that for us, viewers, will never get old.
