Film Stuff, For Film Not Media !!!!!!!!!

This is my writing for my FilIs a film in Hollywood purely a commercial commodity?

It has been suggested that the magic of the movies created in Hollywood doesn’t really exist, and that Tinsel Town was purely created in 1913 to be a get rich quick scheme for a select few who left the studios of the city in search of a beautiful location.

However this apparently is only a myth and what apparently happened was that these select few were actually running from mobs and thugs that destroyed there cameras and burnt down there studios after they bough equipment from outside the USA.

Now although this tale is all-but irrelevant to the lives of today’s modern filmmakers, that same risk still occurs when making modern movies. Corporations spend millions of dollars writing and crating these high budget box- office hits and yet they don’t know if they will have a job to go back to on Monday. Now this may sound familiar especially after the current job losses after the credit crunch, but if you mucked up with any of the advertising, test screening, reviews, you could be down several million dollars.

This is why I believe that there must be more than just money involved in creating these films. Directors and screenwriters are just adrenalin junkies gambling with hundreds of millions of dollars. Yes they do muck up, but they also help to entertain and educate people, and I would also be worried if all that money was being passed round without so much care and viciousness.
m case on Hollywood which has to be posted on the blog.
