- In New Hollywood, a new generation of young filmmakers came to prominence in America that influenced the types of films produced, their production & marketing & the way major studios approached film-making. This differed to the studio system where the studio were in control of all of these areas.

- In New Hollywood films, the director rather than the studio takes on the key authorial role

- Films made in this movement are stylistically characterised in their narrative which strongly contrasts with classical norms

- Vertigo was produced in 'the horrible decade' for Hollywood due to the use of spectacle features (e.g. 3D) whereas by the time OFOTCN was released, the commercial success of films had re-risen and Hollywood had turned around its bad reputation.

- New Hollywood filmmakers could shoot in 35mm camera film in exteriors with relative ease which led to the rapid development for location shooting, resulting in a more naturalistic approach to filmmaking, especially when compared to the stylised approach of classical Hollywood spectacles. During OFOTCN's production, location shooting was more viable & a new realism & closeness to everyday life could be adapted due to the Motion Picture Association of America film rating system.

Are there any similarities?

- New hollywood filmmakers adhered to realism in editing more liberally than most of their classical Hollywood predecessors. Editing used for artistic purposes, a practice inspired by European art films & classical Hollywood directors (e.g. Hitchcock)
