How Hollywood made Profitable Films again

Question

Discuss how Hollywood was eventually able to figure out how to again make profitable films following the financially difficult decade of the 50's. Be sure to include their various attempts at bringing the audience back. In addition, describe the various items that had to come together in order for Hollywood to work its way back into profitable films. Discuss how the content of films changed from the late sixties and early seventies through the mid-seventies and beyond. Also, discuss what influenced these changes. Additionally, describe some of the ways that current films are financed and distributed.

Answer 1

Ok, wow, that is asking a lot. Is this for a research paper? Have you come up with a rough draft of any of the answers to these 7 prompts? Do you have a text for what I am assuming is a film class. If so, use the index & chapter headings to map out where you might find these answers. Skim over the material & jot down some notes. If something is unclear, go back & read it more thoroughly. 

If you do not have a text, you can try the Library of Congress website. They have reference material on just about anything possible. You can IM or email them, but emailing does take time for a response. I would just do a search on "the changes in Hollywood movies since 1950" & see what it turns up. They have an entire film/movie section too.

 

If I think of another reference I will post it, but keep in mind that Librarians are your friend, use them.

 

Best of luck & keep well.
