Throughout the course of the twentieth century, the evolution of technology has notably changed society. While many scholars looking at the changes that technology has produced consider the improvements that have been in terms of medicine and technology, it is evident that technology has had a pronounced impact on the entire scope of culture and society. For instance, the impact of technology can clearly be seen when one examines the history and development of the film industry. With the realization that technology has had such a notable impact on the film industry, there is a clear impetus to examine how this change has occurred. Utilizing this as a basis for investigation, this research considers the development of the modern film industry in the Untied States and the international community. Through a careful consideration of what has been written about various aspects of the film industry, it will be possible to demonstrate that this industry has evolved because of notable advances made in technology. Further, by examining the film industry overall, a comprehensive understanding of the future of this industry will be elucidated.

[...]
[...] In the end, the film industry has enjoyed a long and prosperous history in both a national and international context. As the US film industry begins to face new challenges, it is possible that foreign cinema will once again be able to enjoy a more prominent position in the film industry.

[...] Even though films were produced in France, Germany and the United States, they all looked the same in terms of context and content.[5] As such, in the early years of the film industry, development was somewhat linear for filmmakers.
