FLUCTUATIONS BETWEEN NEW HOLLYWOOD STYLE
AND CLASSICAL HOLLYWOOD STYLE OF
FILM MAKING
By Gruff Pugh and Joe Healey
STRUCTURE OF CLASSIC NARRATIVE
The Three act structure
Act 1 (Setup) used as an introduction to main characters
Act 2 (The Development) the plot becomes more complicated
Act 2 often includes a false resolution.
Cause-Effect Relationship used to propel the characters along the
story
Act 3 (The Resolution) or the climax this is the final segment
showing the ending and with the classic narrative the hero would
win
BREAKING THE NARRATIVE
Citizen Kane uses non linear narrative to break the
current system
BREAKING THIS
Orson Welles has lead other film makers to follow
his lead
HOW IT WAS BROKEN
Orson Welles and Herman J. Mankiewicz wrote
Citizen Kane broke normal narrative by making it
un-linear by having it as a look into someone's life
and not just having the camera follow someone's life.
CLASSICAL HOLLYWOOD STYLE
Camera at distance
Long shot
Static camera
Melodramatic acting style (a bit of overacting)
A lot of eye level shots
BREAKING THIS
Citizen Kane broke allot of these rules using close
shots
more subtle acting
Wide angle lens
Allot of focus on whole screen allowing background
To be seen
BREAKING THIS
Citizen Kane breaking this showed other modern
movie makers to do the same and follow Orson
Welles lead
LIGHTING
Classic Hollywood uses lighting to make the actors
look as good as possible.
LIGHTING
New Hollywood still tries to make the actors look
as good as possible but it also uses lighting for affect
to the story and the character's personality and the
situation over making them look nice.
EDITING
Classic Hollywood uses linear editing style making
it simple and easier to follow what is happening. This
is still used allot today in certain films like Boyhood
EDITING
There have been changes to how films are edited
over the years no with different styles of editing to
create different films like Christopher Nolan’s non
linear film inception
180 DEGREE RULE
The 180º rule is used so as to not confuse audience
members.
The 180 degree rule put the two actors on one side
of an imaginary line, so that the positioning of the
actors, and direction of them is simpler to follow.
