Paper Abstract:
Overview of the American industry. Basic structure of the industry set by eight major corporations. The studio system. Identification of each studio with its own product, style and stars. Development of the star system. Changes to the industry from Justice Department divesture of theater ownership and rise of independent productions.
Paper Introduction:
At one time the term "movie studio" meant just that – a location where the company conducted its business, filmed its product, and performed the remainder of the tasks necessary to make a finished film. A studio may or may not also have had a distribution apparatus of its own, but it must have access to such an apparatus to get its films to the theaters. What a studio does not necessarily need today is the physical plant that once was so essential. Sound stage space can be rented and most films make use of real locales to a much greater extent and have little need of the back lot that used to be so important. The studio system developed along with the early motion picture, and the meaning of "studio" changed as the industry developed. The development of the star system and the studio system went hand in hand. American film companies developed the star system
