The Hollywood film industry reached its Golden Age by adapting the classical Hollywood Narrative style that we talked about earlier this week. During this time, more genres were developed by iconic actors and actresses such as Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, & Bette Davis. It was after World War II ended that Hollywood produced more films based on darker and realistic stories which is now called film noir.
Film is a form of communication. As a communication studies student who loves what I study, I have absorbed every communication model, everything I learned in interpersonal communication, and the importance of non verbal cues as communication. So I really felt connected and felt like I understood the information in this chapter. I have talked over and over about the importance of good storytelling in this field. There are so many elements that produce a good story. In the Golden Age of Hollywood, producers relied a lot on sound and human voice as the center of the action to tell a better story. Sound added character traits where producers before the sound and audio development had to rely on facial expressions, and body language to tell the story. And as we know, sound plays an important role in a genre.
I definitely agree with you that film is a huge form of communication in today's world, and that there are many elements involved in producing a great story!
