UNIT 3: The Golden Age of Hollywood & Film Noir
The studio system
Genre films of Hollywood, shot with strict rules and conventions, overseen by producers. But can directors like Hitchcock and Welles manage to break the system?
FILM NOIR
Film Noir explores the darker side of society, at a time when people were questioning the “American Dream” both in the US, and France.
Colour and sound
As new technology emerged, we can first of all hear our filmic creations, and then finally visualise them in full colour, around the world.
