Old Hollywood- Unit Producer System

Directors at this time would make 6-7 films each year which could result into the films being not as good quality as not as much time has been put into them, also directors were the most important people on set, they decided most of the ins and outs of films and had more control over the actors and what they do. Actors were signed to a film studio and only made films for this studio, also the studios always seemed to specialize in one genre which could make the films quite repetitive and the audience knew what to expect when visiting the cinema. However, this could have been an advantage as the audience had an easier decision deciding what film to see at the cinema due to the studios. Cinema, in the this time was not taken for granted- higher class society only seemed to visit and ushers directed people to their seats and the buildings were massive and elaborate.
