4/1-Classical Hollywood Cinema

The first film that came to my mind when we were discussing the Classical Hollywood Cinema was the movie Casablanca. I remember discussing it in film history. It was one of the earlier and prime examples of Classical Hollywood Cinema because it follows the rules of continuity editing like the 180 degree line, star system, mise-en-scene, and plot. I believe that there is a current rise of independent films because the public is looking for new storylines and film techniques with fewer predictable endings. The beginning of film genres created expectation for the audience. People went to see romantic comedies with Cary Grant or film noirs/suspense films to see the femme fatale.
