Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
While New York City initially thrived as a filmmaking hub in the early 1900s, filmmakers began to realize the significant advantages offered by Southern California. Abundant sunshine year-round provided ideal filming conditions, a stark contrast to the unpredictable weather of the East Coast. Furthermore, the diverse landscapes of California, encompassing mountains, deserts, and coastlines, offered a wider range of settings for filmmakers to bring their cinematic visions to life.
This geographic diversity eliminated the need for expensive and time-consuming location scouting trips across the country. The readily available land in Southern California, considerably more affordable than in densely populated New York, allowed studios to purchase vast properties for backlots and studios, fostering the growth of large-scale film production.
Recognizing these advantages, ambitious filmmakers and entrepreneurs, including many Jewish immigrants escaping restrictive practices in the established film industry, began migrating westward. These pioneers sought creative freedom and greater control over their work.
The influx of talent and capital to Southern California led to the establishment of iconic studios like Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros., forever altering the landscape of the film industry and solidifying Hollywood''s position as the epicenter of filmmaking.
