Michael Jackson - This Is It - Documentary Analysis
The documentary film "This Is It" shows rehearsal footage and interviews in preparation for Michael Jackson's planned series of 50 concerts in London. While the film was being made, Jackson seemed healthy and energetic in rehearsals. The concerts were highly anticipated sellouts that would have earned Jackson $50 million for the first 10 shows alone. After Jackson's death in 2009, the documentary was released as a tribute and became the highest-grossing documentary or concert film ever.

Hollywood Industry Research
Hollywood is a neighborhood in Los Angeles known as the center of the American film industry. It originated in the 1880s when landowners named their ranch Hollywood. The first motion picture studio was built there in 1911. Over time, major film studios like Disney, Warner Bros., and Paramount emerged and turned Hollywood into the global film production hub that it is today. Some defining aspects of Hollywood include influential directors like Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, and Quentin Tarantino, as well as the annual Academy Awards ceremony honoring achievements in film.
Anthony beyer Presents: greatest film directors and their movies
The document discusses some of the greatest movie directors and how the role of directors has changed over time. It used to be that directors who wanted artistic control over their films were seen as troublemakers, but now directors are seen as having an artistic vision that can define their body of work and personal brand. To be considered a great director, one needs a consistent body of work showing a compelling personal vision and style that transcends genres and decades. The document then profiles several legendary directors like Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, John Ford, Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, Ingmar Bergman, Sidney Lumet, and Spike Lee.
Low and high film budgets
Columbia Pictures and Centropolis Entertainment are very well known production companies, with Columbia Pictures being more globally recognized. Working Title and StudioCanal are less well known but have produced some successful films. Shaun of the Dead had a much smaller budget of $6 million compared to 2012's unlimited budget, but was rated better despite making less at the box office due to 2012's larger marketing by Columbia Pictures. Both films were financially successful and appeared on cable television after their theatrical runs.
