universal produced the movie the film was made with as little money as possible as it was made in the depression in America and all of the major producers including paramount tri star Disney ect all had different genres to focus on to save money.

from a modern day view point what did you feel about the film ?
i thought it was more funny than scary. what were the links to the soical/technological environment are there?the technology in the 30s was not very advance the cameras were very heavy also they could not do different shots using their cameras compared to our cameras they could do overhead shots as the cameras nowadays are allot smaller and lighter the social issues that are linked with Frankenstein are that people in the 30s wouldn't now what a horror was but if an audience of people watched bride of Frankenstein they would of thought it was funny and simple i think the audience of the 30s would of enjoined the film as it was hugely anticipated as people would of been new to the horror genre but it was a big success .
what is the benefit to the audiences?the benefit to audiences was that they had not seen a horror film before and it would of been cheap to go see because the film was made in the economic down turn in America during the 30s what is the benefit to the producers? the benefit would of been after the shown the bride of Frankenstein the realised that it was a big success the went on to create the franchise and with it created iconography with Frankenstein having a big head and bolts though his neck.
