How Hollywood Works by Janet Wasko
This fascinating book details the processes involved in turning raw materials and labour into feature films. Wasko surveys and critiques the policies and structure of the US film industry. This refreshing, critical look at the industry within economic, political and social contexts provides a valuable analysis of how Hollywood works.
"This book is a valuable summary of film industry practices in HollywoodIt provides good detail based on industry information that is relatively current. More importantly, it provides an excellent reference for scholars who want to include Hollywood in broader media studies and have no one good source to go to on "how Hollywood works." It includes several appendices, an excellent bibliography (plus references at the end of each chapter), and a solid index." -- Emile McAnany * A Quartely Review of Communication Research *
