The first films
Imagine the surprise and the shock that people felt
film in1895! There was no sound, no colour and the films were very short:
they lasted from 60 to 90 seconds! Besides, they did not tell a story. They
were glimpses of real life: a military parade, a running horse , a boxing
match, the ocean… One of first film showed a train coming towards the
camera. The audience panicked and run away! The frightened people were
sure that the train was coming into the theatre. The early films were shown in music halls, theatres, cafes and even shops. Travelling projectionists brought the films to smaller cities and country towns.
The cinema was the perfect popular entertainment. It was not expensive
and, at first, the audience consisted mainly of workers. The rich and
intellectual classes ignored it. They didn't think it was art. For example, the London Times wrote about one of the Lumiere brothers` first shows in 1896 and didn`t mention the cinema again until 1904!
Hollywood became the film-making capital of the world.
In 1911, the first
Hollywood became the film-making capital of the world.
In 1911, the first
makers soon realized that Southern California's climate was perfect for
shooting film all the year round. And the area had setting for nearly any film
– it had mountains, desert and ocean. Soon nearly all important American
studios were in Hollywood and it became the film – making capital of the
world. The men who ran Hollywood studios were businessmen and their main
aim was to make money. They soon realized that the best way to do this was
to standardize their films. When the audience liked a certain kind of film, the
studios made many more of exactly the same kind.
By the 1920s, 80 percent of world films were produced in Hollywood.

British films do not have big budget and cannot compete with American films. The few films that are made by British Film Companies usually receive some money from American companies. This means that British films often have to use American actors to appeal to the American cinema-going audience.
British producers who want to make films often go to America. Hollywood is full of British actors, directors, writers and editors.
