When you think about where films are shot the first place you think of is Hollywood or in New York. Though it seems that things are about to change for the years to come. The Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti is putting in his own efforts to resurrect the film industry back in LA. Lately it had been said that "entertainment industry jobs are plummeting, hurting the economy" which I thought was insane. It surprised me that our industry over here is slowly declining because it seemed to me that a lot of films were shot out here. Though it turns out that now and days it may be cheaper to shoot films on location. Once I read that it made sense to me because lots of shows on TV now and days are filmed on location like "The Walking Dead". Another thing to add is "
The state’s share of hour-long network dramas fell from 89 per cent in 2005 to only 39 per cent last year." With that being said what do you believe will happen with all of these new films and TV shows being shot of state? Will that decrease all of those high budgeted Hollywood film and maybe increase more independent filmmakers? Do you think this a positive or negative thing towards the film industry as a whole?

Woah, I had no idea that it was much cheaper to film movies on set. Good job mayor Eric.
