My Amazing Reseearch Paper!

I have decided to write my research paper on early filmmaking in America. The time period I wil be focusing on is between 1920 and 1940. I chose this because it was a high point for the film industry. Throught my paper I will be attempting to answer many questions including...


  • When was the first commerical film made?

  • What were popular silent movies?

  • What were popular talking movies?

  • Who were common stars in silent movies and what were their lives like?

  • What affect did films have on Americans?

  • When did films move from silent to talking and what was the transition like?

  • How did this change affect Hollywood in general?

  • What were popoular storyline of movies during this time?

  • Who were major stars of the time?

  • What were the major studios?

  • How did these movie stars influence Americans?

  • What were average inclomes of people in the movie industry?

  • Can any influence of early filmmaking still be seen in hollywood today?

By answeringh the question I hope to find a clear understanding and appreciation of the work and lives of these early workers in the movie making business.
