Write 3 page essay on the topic Motion Pictures Movies.

The rise of the Hollywood studio system was a critical stage of the movie industry. The Biography Company sent Griffith and his team of actors to the West Coast towards Georgia Street where they started shooting a film in the available vacant spaces. It is at this time that Griffith decided to explore Hollywood and decided to shoot one of his melodrama movies there. At the production of this film, it attracted a lot of attention and Griffith found Hollywood an interesting place to shoot his movies (Ragan 23-43). When many filmmakers found out about his venture, they decide to visit Hollywood to produce films. Another reason why most Filmmakers preferred to visit Hollywood is that they saw it as a cheap way to avoid the charges that Thomas Edison was charging them to make movies. After the world war, the more people from Europe visited Hollywood. Another transformation that occurred during the Hollywood studio system was the introduction of the use of sound in filmmaking (OBrien 43). While this was a positive change, the filmmakers who had learned about silent film lost popularity after this change.

During the era of the studio system, the filmmakers followed the Hay production code as part of the conditions of the studio production. Those who did not comply with the Hay code had to pay heavy fines. However, the studio system ended in the early 1940s when another law emerged to separate the production of films and their exhibition. The Federal antitrust action was a new law that led to the break up the studio system and paved way for individual production (Ragan 67). Secondly, technology development opened up a new era of production in the history of American movies. The emergence of the television technology encouraged many people to pursue filming individually.

Your answers should be no longer than one half page per question, 12 point font. Maximum length – 2 pages total.

1 )Discuss the interaction between folklore and commercially produced culture. Give an example of an online folk reaction to popular (commercially produced) culture. This response can be an expansion (like fan fiction or another of the fan genres). This response can be a satire or parody. In your answer a) name the original item, the one to which the response was made, and describe it. Is it an item of material culture, social culture, or verbal culture? b) give one or more examples of the folk response, along with the URL where they can be found. Discuss the response(s) and what they show about the attitudes of the person or persons who made the post(s). (5 points)

2) Commercial companies troll the web to see what people are posting. How does examining digital folklore help companies figure out good approaches to selling products? Give an example of the commercial use of digital folklore. We talked about examining the web to find patterns of race, gender, ethnicity, age. Give an example of at least one such pattern, with URLs, if possible. How might commercial companies make use of this information? (5 points)

3) Students at the University of Alberta build websites for use in elementary schools. When we work on these websites, how can we use what is posted online to determine what we should develop? How can we get information about what is appealing to children? How can we get information about things that parents would like us to include or to avoid? We also test our sites in elementary classrooms. What information can we gain from classroom testing? (5 points)
