mar 2, 1933 - King Kong Film Release

Description:

The release of King Kong shocked viewers as it included a high profile location that the majority of the audience would've heard about, The Empire State Building.

This changed the way films were made as it was one of the first uses of a real location in a film, films now started to use iconic locations in order to shock the audience making it feel more real or close to home. This technique is now often used in apocalyptic films to stop a dramatic change of the world around the characters.
