The Stars



In Classical Hollywood Cinema, the star system was a process of transforming, creating, promoting and exploiting movie stars. They would choose promising young actors and create names for them. This is very much significant component in cinema. Before a performer appeared in films, he or she might undergo vocal training along with singing and dancing lessons. In short a new performer would be tried out in several minor and supporting roles. Those performers who were regarded as star material would progress to lead roles in minor features before graduating to star in major productions. These arrangements provided the studios with systematized routes for the training of performers.

In star system, they focus more on the image rather than how they act. The men were expected to be gentlemen in public and for the women; they were expected to behave and not to leave the house without make up. Also they should always look presentable. 

There’s no difference between the Hollywood and in Philippines because when you say stars, they would always think that they are higher and popular than the others. They gain more attention from the audience.
