Introduction

Hi my name is Dirk and for the next while I'm going to be posting information about the geography of movies. Most people don't realise how massively the film industry relies on geography. Without geography there would be no background in any films, or landscapes that are iconic to the film type (eg. western films need a desert like area). In fact without geography films would likely not exist as the films would have nothing to work with. No trees, no houses, no weather etc. Over my next few posts I will focus on different aspects of geography in films.
