ABSTRACT
This research topic, “A Comparative Study of the use of Continuity in Nollywood and Hollywood Films” views the detailing of actions without break or interruption in film time in Nollywood and Hollywood film production, with a case study of a Nollywood film “The Wedding Party I” and Hollywood film “Acrimony”. The objective of this work is to help find new (improvised) techniques to capture events in new perspective; like mounting a tripod on a wheel chair to perform the function of a dolly, to avoid film errors in the absence of advanced technology gadgets. Observations by carefully studying films and expository; browsing books, journals, reviews, books and the internet method used to achieve the analysis. If these techniques noted in this research are utilized, it may improve the narrative structure of any film.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Nollywood films are rooted deeply in Nigerian traditional, cultural and social contexts that focuses on Nigerian community life. Nollywood film reflects and reveals the richness, complexity and in some cases the humor of the global black experience. For decades, Nigeria’s film industry, also known as Nollywood have been making waves across the globe partly because of the speed of the growth. The United Nation named it “The second most productive film industry in the world”.
The rate and energy at which films in Nigeria are produced are comparatively on a low budget. Nollywood films were full of drama but had low production values with drawn out scenes and plotline. “They have long dramatic soliloquies and speeches” says Nollywood film producer and Director, Pris Nzimiro – Nwanah, “ and (in another scene) you’d see a car backing out of the drive way for so long that I could leave the room, go and cook and when I’ve returned they’d still be driving”. Due to the high cost of high celluloid, “To make a film will take N4m-N10m, and making a cinematic standard will take N4100m”, the producers will have to resort mass production, but the quality of film shot or rather produced were inferior, although cost effective.
