Emergence of the U.S. film industry
In the United States, the film industry exploded, because the appetite of moviegoers for new movies was almost insatiable. In 1909 film was already big business in the U.S., the industry has expanded annually by 25 million U.S. dollars. Due to huge demand, the largest film distributors, the Motion Picture Patents Company (MPPC) was founded in order to keep their market shares. They assumed that the technical equipment is the foundation on which to build the silent movie business. Together, they held 16 patents on recording and demonstration equipment. At the same time, they joined an exclusive contract with Eastman Kodak, then virtually the sole supplier of footage. In addition, they made a special licensing system pressure on the cinema owners to show possible only films from their production.
Independent film in the United States have been by organized gangs, backed by police and sheriffs, sabotaged, cinemas have been demolished, actor beaten and seized equipment. The independent producers still trying to realize their projects. The shooting was protected by armed guards. Partially filmed with the entire set every day at a different location. The majority of the American film industry was established at this time in New York, where the above scenes were taking place too. In subsequent years, the power of the MPPC began to crumble and independent producers were able to work successfully.
By 1910, settled in several Hollywood filmmakers, among them William Fox, Samuel Goldwyn and Adolph Zukor, and laid the groundwork for the later seo dream factory. The reason for choosing California was first, the remoteness of the area-industry battles on the Eastern Shore, on the other hand, the sunny weather: Because of the relatively light-insensitive, and footage of the then state of the art lighting, daylight was the main source of illumination during shooting.
