Classical Hollywood Style

           Classical Hollywood style arose between 1927 and 1963 in the American Film Industry. Classical style mainly focuses on how the camera and sound recording should never call attention to themselves. This cinematic style has truly contributed a lot for the film's being released today.

              Ideas from Renaissance period heavily influenced Classical Hollywood Style, as elaborated by David Bordwell. Renaissance period, as we all know, is the period of birth for a more free and creative ideas, which is still obvious in today's art forms, including films. 

                  During our Cinema class, different American old silent films were shown to us including the Lion’s Cage of Charlie Chaplin, who rose to fame in the silent film era; Harold Lloyd, most famous for his silent comedies; and those of Lumierre Brothers, who were the earliest filmmakers in history.

                      Films of today can still show the different contributions of Classical Hollywood films to the modern industry of filmmaking.
