Authors and Audience Screenwriters created those monsters or recreated based on legendary creatures. Then, those monsters will visualize by director, screenwriters, sculptor, painter and set designer. The audience is people who watch the film.

It first started with the invention of the photographic gun camera. This camera was used by Etienne- Jules Marey and Edward Muybridge. These men worked on…
business in America. These events were known as the Paramount decision and the Hollywood Blacklist. Both had a significant impact on not only the way movies were produced, distributed and exhibited, but also affected people directly, such as screenwriters, actors, directors and musicians as well.

In college, I was a political science major, and I loved it because every course taught me something new and exciting about the structure of governments, the ideologies of foreign countries, or the norms and customs of any given culture.
