Prompt:The 1970s has been seen as the decade where Hollywood studios recognized the value of the exploitation cinema associated with low-budget companies like American International Pictures of the 1950s and 1960s.  Films such as William Friedkin’s The Exorcist (1973) and Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975) have been noted as having reworked the sensational horror film of the 1950s.  Further, “exploitation” was a term applied to specific audiences as well as films.  Melvin Van Peebles’ Sweet Sweetback’s Baadassss Song (1971) drew the attention of the industry to the profit potential represented by black urban audiences and gave rise to the “blaxploitation” cycle of films.  Define the various meanings of “exploitation cinema” in the 1970s and how it was used to create blockbusters but also films geared to more specific audiences.  Focus on 1-2 films. Also you must add information and support from two other non-web articles or books.
