History
Since the first movies were still very faint, the film producers were dependent on sunlight. The first film studios were therefore large glass houses.

Definition of Terms
To the difference in meaning of "Film Studio " and " film studio " in the English and German-speaking countries wrote the film theorist L' Estrange Fawcett 1928: " The word atelier (studio) so called in America a collection of buildings that serve the film production, and not, as in Europe an air dome -like building, where the rotation of the films is made and which is called in Hollywood, stage ' (stage ). "
The coined in the U.S. term " film studio" is generally used as a term for a film production company together with all its facilities for film production. This is because, since the production of films used to be a own film studio was essential, and a film studio owner was at the same time also a film producer in personal union. Today, movie studios are either owned by film production companies or rented by their owners to film producers.
In the latter case, the owner has to rely on the rental of its facilities and usually has no effect on occupation or content of the film. In the former case, the studios are mainly used by the owner, and also rented only to better capacity utilization. Many, especially smaller ones, film production companies rely on the rental of studio capacities absence of their own facilities.

Produced a film studio itself also movies, so it is in truth a film production company, which has its own studio.
