2. The Purpose of this power point is to research the
institutes/producers of horror to get further
information and ideas on how we can create and
make better our movies. This research will help me
identify the most popular producers so that I can
look more at their work and get some more ideas
for my movie from their work.
3. This table contains the top 25
horror movies based on the
gross collected at their box
office. The table also shows the
names of the studio’s/producers
therefore it is easy for me to
pick out the most popular
therefore I can research them
more than the others. As we can
see from the table the most
popular movies are produced by
Universal Studio’s. The next
studio’s/producers are Fox,
DreamWorks, Miramax and
Dimension. Therefore these
institutions I shall look at the
most. However due to my own
knowledge on institutions I shall
also look at Warner Bro’s
Studio’s.
