 This is my Research Industry

                                               GENRE I'M WORKING IN  *ੈ✩‧₊˚    

 My team members and I are going to be working in the horror/ found footage genre

What genre am I working on?

We specifically chose to do a found footage horror. I fell interested towards this type of genre because I watched as above so below with my teammate kristine during a hangout and I suddenly realised i was very engaged towards the movie and now i want to do it too. the art of using the hand held camera in my opinion is very unique and different.

Do I want my opening scene to be niche or mainstream?

We chose to produce a niche film because found footage is very known as a low budget film. This means that it doesn't qualify enough to become a mainstream film. Found footage is a sub-genre that has its specific target audience. The reason behind this is because this creates the suspension of realism to audience making them feel like they're part of the movie (situations).

What company would most likely produce my media text in the real world?

Throughout my research, I've discovered many companies that produce this particular genre and sub-genre. I personally think the collaboration between Blumhouse Productions and Paramount Pictures would be the best fit for my media to be produced by and or even distributed by. With their collaboration, it can help enhance my media's attention making the interested audience expand wider.
