Hollywood classical style of film-making

Hollywood classical style of film-making is a type of film-making which is not offbeat - classical style of film-making is rich in narrative structure. Classical film-makers are a signature on smooth and elegant films. Classical style of film-making is classy and synchronized, almost perfect. People go on with the flow of the film, without any breaks or jerks. The technical aspects of a film including sound, camera manipulation and editing techniques are elements which must be used judiciously and don't call any attention to themselves. Classical style of film-making was popular in America between 1910-1960.

Most film-makers have been influenced by this school of film making, including the world famous Satyajit Ray and Ritwik Ghatak.

The basic definition of filmmaking - a very popular art form.

Filmmaking is the art of making motion pictures and the person who makes them is known as the filmmaker. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating — or indoctrinating — citizens.

Filmmaking is rhythm, instinct, emotion, psychology, art- and it draws from the total talent of one person, the filmmaker, who collaborates with the others to create a cumulative sensory event...There is no common pattern for how long it takes to become an filmmaker. However, making an independent film takes talent, ambition, knowledge, salesmanship, persistence, and a bit of luck doesn't hurt either.

What Film Making is All About

Many consider film making today as an engrossing way of making money, and of course, loads of fame. Big stars, bigger names, biggest budgets ever, and an enormous amount of fame associated with the same. However, that is not really true.
What people truly and really do through film making is expressing their inner thoughts and feelings. Cameron expresses imagination, Nolan expresses some amazing ideas and thinking, Tarantino expresses style and creativity. If you try and think of it, the known film makers of the world always have some common element in all their films. That is the simplest and the most basic proof of what film making is all about: an expression of the character of a person.
