Answer 1

Відповідь:

1) Early film studios wanted to move away from New York because of the high costs of filming and the lack of space.

2) Cinema audiences in the 1920s often heard piano music during films because it was a way to add emotion and drama to the film. It could also help to cover up the noise of the projector.

3) During the Great Depression, Hollywood films were particularly popular because they offered an escape from the harsh realities of life.

4) Cinema audiences were smaller from the 1960s onwards because of the rise of television and the increasing availability of films on home video. People could now watch films in the comfort of their own homes, which made going to the cinema less appealing.
