Mainstream Films 'Hollywood'

The Hollywood film industry is one of the most successful and popular brands of film across a wide range of genres and is the easiest to access by the general public. I think that the reason for this success is down to the fact that these producers are able to create a storyline, which in most circumstances, can be followed with interest and enthusiasm. Most mainstream films are adaptations of novels written either months or years in advance of any development or potential idea of making it into a film. One of the most famous and recognisable series of films which follows a storyline created by the author J.K Rowling is the life of 'Harry Potter'. Here is a trailer of the upcoming film 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'.



If you have followed the films from the very beginning, you may have noticed and therefore understand the progression and speed of technology which is now producing high quality special effects and creating an overall more enhanced cinematic experience.

Another famous Hollywood blockbuster is the 1975 Steven Spielberg film 'Jaws' which, as suggested from the title, features a seaside town called Amity being troubled by a great white shark.



The film is a good example of the power of Hollywood as the production has become a cult icon. I would even say it has made people more aware of swimming in the water.

A more recent film to hit the box office is Christopher Nolan's 2010 masterpiece 'Inception' which stars Leonardo Dicaprio amongst others as the protagonist Cobb. The main attraction and appeal of the film comes from the intense and complicated twists and turns of the storyline.



I found this film to be a huge success and almost the next step in how far directors and actors can take filming in the modern age.

As with development of technology, the film industry is now releasing blockbusters with the ability to watch in 3D. A significant increase in the entertainment value you will be recieving when watching the next big film. So at the moment, the domination of Hollywood is always increasing with popularity and coverage, reaching nearly every cinema screen worldwide.
