This document provides a summary of an assignment to investigate how the contexts of production can affect films. The contexts examined were historical, technological, and cultural. To study the historical and technological contexts, the author watched a documentary on the origins of Hollywood and explored a PowerPoint on film history, then created a vintage-style silent film and leaflet. For the cultural context, the author looked at how ideology and culture are represented in different countries' film outputs, conducting research on a chosen country's films and creating a Prezi containing facts and stereotypes about America.
