The Studio System

The Studio System – its decline and the institutes today

 

Silent Era – No studios or institutes, just directors and filmmakers. When they realised the amount of money that can be made, they bought directors, sets and stars. Studios even owned their own cinemas and wouldn’t show films made by rival firms. Actors could only appear in films distributed by the studio who owned them.

Golden Age – Big 5: MGM, Paramount, Fox, RKO, Warner Bros. Little 3: Columbia, United Artists, Universal.

United Artists – Owned by the actors who worked there.

Many scholars date the Golden Age of Hollywood from 1924-1957. TV’s were invented and contributed towards the death of the Golden Age.

For a time films became the property of new independent filmmakers.

There are now versions of old studios and new ones like Tristar, Miramax and Film4.
