Classic Hollywood Cinema

3 Classic Hollywood Cinema Films

  1. Some like it hot
  2. maltese falcon
  3. monkey buisness

One of the main formalist features of classic hollywood cinema is that it uses continuity editing to minimlise the idea of there being a camera and soundwork. Continuity editing is when narrative fragments are joined so that the editing/joining up is not noticed. Much of it also uses chiarscuro lighting e.g. some like it hot, and crosscutting, which involves cuttin across seperate scenes to show that they are linked.
