Thank you! american_and_european_film_industry.docx Unformatted Attachment Preview Surname 1 American and European Film Industry Student Institution Course Professor Date Surname 2 American and European Film Industry Hollywood remains the most dominant movie-making industry in the world, although it has received substantial competition from across the globe, mostly from Europe. Hollywood is impactful in movie-making art, and it also plays a vital role in the spread of American culture across the world. Many movie lovers can identify significant differences between American and European films from the storylines, the budgets injected to the film making industries and the way that directors conduct themselves when directing the films. However, the two movie industries have three distinct differences. Both American and European cinematography have heavy influences on each other; it is hard to place any unbreakable boundaries between the two forms of cinematography. The cinematography from the two continents across the Atlantic is not different from other forms of art, and they often influence each other (Albornoz, 2016, p.4). However, there is a significant difference in the idealism that is adopted by American cinematography and the realism that is adopted by European cinematography. Since the inception of cinematography in Hollywood, the American film making giant has relied on artificial lighting, which creates a hyper quality and idealized image for the consumers. On the other hand, European films adopt a more natural way of lighting their setups, hence introducing realism into the cinema making process. This, however, does not mean that there are no realistic American films and that not European films are idealistic (Jäckel and Jäckel, 2003, p.26). The approach to color is also a major difference between the American and European cinematography, whereby American filmmakers focus on saturation while European filmmakers focus on accuracy. In recent years, big-budget films in Hollywood had adopted either orange or teal as their theme colors, which are upgraded by digital color grading. Film shooting in Europe Surname 3 is also digitalized, but once the cameras stop rolling, it is easy to see that film directors are more focused on the accuracy of the colors they use(Iordanova, 2003, p.13). Enormous scaling and focusing on details is another difference that can be seen between American and European cinematography. Many American film directors have used the American landscape to create visual effects and promote geographical beauty in the country. Hollywood has managed to compel the world to accept the beauty in America by capturing it all in its enormity (Albornoz, 2016, p.8). On the other hand, European cinematography is more focused on the minute details of geographical aspects, although it also has its big impact moments. The European directors are less concerned with the bigger picture and focus on small, impactful aspects of European geography and culture. Although the two cinematography worlds have distinct features, they are not alienated from each other and borrow various features from each other. For instance, even though the European cinematography is more realistic, it also has aspects of idealism. It also uses artificial lighting and color to make the effects more captivating. American cinematography also borrows some aspects of realism cinematography from the European world of film making. Although these scenes are not very common, it is something that shows that the two cinematography worlds across the Atlantic rely on each other for entertaining their viewers (Iordanova, 2003, p.18). Diversity in the Film Industry and its Impacts Many people may not understand the role that diversity in the film industry plays, but a close look at the ripple effects of diversity shows that it has a myriad of benefits, both for the industry and for the society. The film industry in both America and Europe has a positive or negative effect on the people who love to engage in cinematography (McDonald and Wasko, Surname 4 2008, p. 12). Although the cultures in both film industries are different, the roles that diversified genres have are almost similar in both continents. For instance, the inclusion of more women in lead posts in movie production helps to motivate more young girls to reach for their dreams. Equality, the inclusion of people from minority groups in the movies, also helps to motivate children in minority communities to reach for their dreams (Albornoz, 2016, p.11). Diversified roles in film in both continents also it helps to build confidence in adults and in older generations who did not have a proper representation in the movie industry when they were younger. The inclusion of formerly marginalized groups in the movie industry, such as LGBTQ characters, people of color, and female leads, can alleviate the stigma that these people face. This is a role that the two film making countries have focused on, as more roles and genres are pushed for, to ensure that the talents are tapped, and they are used to encourage more people inside and outside the industry. America has a very diverse movie genre liking among movie lovers. Instead of choosing one genre from Hollywood, the country seems to be cross-genre affiliated, considering that many Americans find single genre movies to be highly divisive. In recent years, a survey was carried out to identify the tastes and preferences of most movie lovers. It was carried out based on gender, age, ethnicity, income, and other factors that influence the kind of films that an individual indulges in. The study showed that comedy, action, drama, and adventure films were top-rated among film lovers. The preferences, according to genre varied among different age groups, and stereotypically divisive genres, such as musicals and romantic films, divide the country on gender basis (Albornoz, 2016, p.13). More than 60 percent of women prefer to watch musicals and romance films as compared to 48 percent of men. Comedies, thrillers and, fantasy and adventure films have a seemingly equal preference between men and women in the country. Surname 5 The genre that has produced the most revenue for the country is the adventure genre, as it has brought in $58.84 billion 8into the country since 2018. The second in the list is the action genre, which has contributed $44.15 billion. Drama is the third genre in the rank, and it is also very popular with movie producers in the country. In Europe, comedy is rated as the best selling genre of film, and its prevalence is well identified in major European countries such as the UK and France. For instance, in France, between 1994 and 2014, French comedies contributed 326.5 million international admissions and accounted for 35\% of the country’s global box office. During the ten years, 1,177 comedies were produced from France and generated 813.4 million entries into the domestic market (Iordanova, 2003, p.34). The top markets for French comedy were Germany, Italy, Spain, the US, and Belgium. All these significant consumers of French comedy are all European countries, except for the US. Most of the comedies that were produced during this period had been generated within Western European countries because most of these countries have a similar connection kin values and humor. European film lovers rank dramas the second most favorite genre of film, and from 1994 to 2014, France exported at least 478 dramas (Albornoz, 2016, p.15). Thrillers that are English based are also very common among European film lovers because they also have common themes that resonate with many film lovers across European countries. Both the US and the European film lovers have identified different film genres that resonate best with them. The US seems to have a passion for drama and action movies, which are very idealistic. They also support the color alterations that are very common in Hollywood, representing the idealistic nature of the American film lovers (McDonald and Wasko, 2008, p.24). The genres stand out as the most produced genres in Hollywood, and viewers across the world who are fans of American films will look out for dram and action films from the countries Surname 6 because they feel that these are the movies with the best level of production from the country. On the other hand, comedy and thrillers are very common among the European film lovers, and they support the realism themes that are advocated for in European film production arenas. The comedies and thrillers are also much loved across the world, and they present the continent as welcoming to fun and works on the natural aspect of life compared to the US. However, the uniqueness of both film industries does not stop them from engaging with each other and sharing different aspects and cultures in film production. The Prevalence of Comedy in Europe as Compared to America Although comedy is common in the US and is well appreciated by film lovers, the genre is more common in European countries. Comedy is ranked as the best selling genre of film in Europe with countries such as England, France, and Argentina recording the highest number of comedy productions and sales. In Argentina, movies like Minions and the two Ice Age movies have been recorded as the most profitable in the countrys film history. The people of Argentina prefer to watch family-friendly comedies compared to other film genres in the country. In Italy, the most profitable films are Avatar and Titanic, and although they are not comedies, the rest of the top ten slots of the most profitable films are filed by comedy. In France, the two most profitable films in 2016 were Camping 3 and Les Tuche 2, which are both comedies. The country is known as the highest producer of comedy in the continent, and it is believed that its comedy is well accepted in the continent because most European prefer to have a hearty laugh as compared to watching other genres of film (Albornoz, 2016, p.16). Disney’s Zootopia is third in popularity in France, showing that the French nationals are also welcome to international comedy compared to other film genres. In Sweden, Zootopia was also ranked very high performance in the film industry, although it has stiff competition from drama and action. Surname 7 However, the country is very welcome to both local and international comedy, supporting the idea that Europe is more open to comedy than any other genre of film. In England, statistics show that film lovers prefer a good dose of comedy as compared to any other genre of film. The second most popular genre in the country is either adventure or action. Although the continent is well come to a diverse range of film genres, it seems to be most welcoming to comedy, and this response could be because most of the countries in the continent have a common understanding of values and humor. Conclusion The film industry in both Europe and the US plays a vital role in establishing the culture and diversity of the two communities. The Hollywood style of production of films is quite different from the European method of filming. However, the two film producers borrow a lot of tactics from each other, although they remain distinct in the kind of films they produce. For instance, comedy is more common in Europe than in the US, while dram and action are more common in the US than in Europe. The differences in the two film producers are usually a manifestation of the culture and values of their people. They should, therefore, be treated as an essential source of identity for the film lovers in the two geographical locations. Surname 8 Bibliography Albornoz, L.A., 2016.
