The New Hollywood and Independent Film-Making (According to the book Film Art by David Bordwell and Kristen Thompson)

                     New wave film actually provided new ideas for the role of the protagonists, especially the hero ones. French film industry became healthy during the years 1947-1957 because the industry had the support of the government. But during the year 1957, film industry in France technically fell down because television has created a big impact on viewers thus resulting to the diversion of attention. Film-makers then, had to produce films with cheaper budget.

                      There were notable film directors during the New Wave era in French film industry.

Godard

Truffaut

                     1960's when Hollywood film industry became healthy. But it did not last long because of the widespread effect of television. Film-makers had to change the game of plans, they made films directed for young people. But it wasn't successful, until they changed the game again and made films intended for a broader audience. Films that made a mark to people included Francis Coppola's The Godfather, Steven Spielberg's Jaws, and George Lucas' Star Wars. Some of these New Hollywood ideas were mostly gotten from the ideas and concepts of Old Hollywood, while some films did not fail to portray and adapt the European tradition. 

                     1980's when most of the product of New Hollywood were recognized again for their notable works, together with the fresh talents, whose generation is already called as the product of New New Hollywood. Spielberg and Lucas stayed on track, still making excellent films during that time. Here are some of the successful films during the 1990's.

                

                  Wayne Wang was an independent film-maker and a product of New Hollywood cinema. He was the most successful Asian American film-maker. 

                  The concept of Classical American Cinema can still be seen in the era of New New Hollywood, including techniques in editing and cinematography, plus the idea of an effective mise-en-scene. New faces in Hollywood during the 80's and 90's improved the conventional way of telling a story. The presentation of a certain genre and the style of their cinemas were also enriched by new entrants of Hollywood. 

                       Independent film-makers provided films adapting a modernized version of New Hollywood. These independent directors even made films as a tool to portray their own feelings about a certain aspect, such as religion and politics.

                       These film-makers in the new century, probably born between 1960's to 1970's, has brought their eagerness to experiment to the next level on the history of film-making. They have provided a new innovation from classical films that is being used mainly by the present generation. But we must not forget the fact that these classical films has inspired and influenced a lot. the present-day cinema.
