Trace the technological development of movies from silent films to today. How is the movie industry adapting to the Internet, inexpensive cameras and phones, and video editing software and apps? What are the various ways in which major movie studios make money from the film business? How will or should this change in the next 5 years? How do a few large film studios manage to control more than 90% of the commercial industry? Do films contribute to a global village in which people throughout the world share a universal culture, or do U.S.-based films overwhelm the development of other cultures worldwide? If you were a Hollywood film producer or executive, what kinds of films would you like to see made? What changes would you make in what we see at the movies?
