Classical Hollywood Style

Classical Hollywood Style

• Film’s protagonist is in almost every shot, photographed using the most flattering makeup, clothing and lighting

• Point-of-view shots—in which the star looks at something outside the frame and then the next shot focuses on the object—gave the star an implied power, in that what we see is limited to what the actor sees

• Main character usually isolated in the center of the frame, to be stared it and admired by the viewer
