Classical Hollywood cinema

Classical Hollywood Cinema is a type of filmmaking style used in the early 1900s. It is known for its careful storytelling, unique camera shots, and the use of music and sound effects. Movies made in this style often had characters that were only a few years older than the audience, creating a connection between the film and its viewers. The stories were also presented in a mostly linear fashion and the scenes were often framed in a certain way that allowed the audience to easily follow the plot and visually experience the story. The use of “happy endings” where good triumphed over evil was also common in most classical Hollywood Cinema films.
