Case Study - Musicals
How genres change
The 1930's through the 1960's are considered to be the golden age for musical film.
The musical genre is one of which that audiences for a long time because of the idea of integration and an example of a more lively enjoyable life. This is because of the recurring convention of characters spontaneously erupting into song and dance as though it's as natural to them as speaking.
Hollywood released more than 100 musical films in 1930, but only 14 in 1931. by late 1930, audiences had been over saturated with musicals and studios were forced to cut the music from all films that were then being produced.
In the 1960's, musicals made a comeback. This was because the new type of successful films being produced were adaptations of prosperous stage productions such as "Oklahoma!" and "The Sound Of Music"
