Classical Hollywood 

• cinematic time and space, 180 rule, narrative logic, editing, camera etc all focused on driving the narrative forward because it’s a form of escapism (e.g. Great Depression)
• Linear narrative except for a flashback that reveals the protagonists motivations
• Protagonists have interior and exterior motivations as well as a clear moral code
• Primary and secondary narrative
• Studio’s owned everything, and had people like directors and actors on a contract. The paramount decree stopped this, so the studio system started to fall apart and adapt into new Hollywood with new film school students like Spielberg

New Hollywood 

• studio’s built themselves up with influence from the french new wave including non-linear narrative, and sex, drugs and violence. French New Wave changed eastern and western film.
• fears of the time were exploited by blockbusters
• still has 180 rule
• not just about driving the story forward, also aesthetic experience
• low budget to high budget
• moral ambiguity of the protagonist
• film school people like Spielberg
• Also can be used as a form of escapism, but a different type
• influence of TV
