A comprehensive look at the development of the motion picture and Hollywood from silent films to the present. Significant films such as Sunset Boulevard and North by Northwest are used to illustrate the growth of the motion picture industry as well as the variety of stories and filming techniques that have been developed over that past one hundred years. The appendices of the book have a place for students to take movie notes for the films studied as well as chapter questions, a film review outline and essay suggestions for social responsibility and cultural expectations. This book was developed for online students but works equally well with students in the classroom.
