Reflection Paper: The Hollywood Style

Watching this documentary, I've learned that the "Hollywood Style" on filmmaking is very unique and extraordinary in my opinion. They are able to create films that are beyond our expectations because they have this sense of creativity in them that can be seen in the movies as results. Obviously there's a very big difference between the films in the past and those films today but we cannot deny that the quality just improved a lot. Discipline is a very important factor, from the director, staffs and of course the actors in the film. 

The history of American Film is greatly discussed in this documentary. The words by men and women who made those movies struck me, their talented minds and incomparable discipline are one of the main factors why their movie became a hit. They were able to tell the actors the right emotions and they give them this motivation to act out the scene perfectly. I am very impressed with the methods they used to motivate their actors.

And also witnessing the American production method will definitely help us to determine how different it is from their foreign compatriots. I've also seen the basic materials they used for production which is a big help because I am now informed and I am curious to know more about it. The directors also discussed here how they were able to achieve different film effects with the available resources or materials.

I believe that this documentary is a very helpful tool for us Mass Communication students because it will help us understand more how Americans produce their films that affects us as well.
