This document compares low and high budget films. Low budget films like Paranormal Activity cost $15,000 to make and made $193 million, while high budget films like Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince cost $250 million to make and made $934 million. High budget films spend more on well-known actors and extensive marketing, so they generally earn more at the box office.

Paranormal Activity

A low-budget film is a motion picture shot with little or no
funding from a major film studio or private investor. Most
independent films are made on low budgets for example
Paranormal Activity had a budget of $15,000 to make.
Low budget films often rely on film festivals in order for
their films to be promoted and are often created by first
time filmmakers in order to prove their talent before
doing bigger productions. The money made is generally
lower as well with Paranormal Activity making
$193,340,800 and a high budget film like Harry Potter And
The Half Blood Prince making $934,416,487.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Money used to produce: $250,000,000
Money made: $934,416,487
Depending on the genre of the film, the size of the
studio or distributor releasing the film, and the time of
year that the film will be released, marketing costs may
run from $1 million to $20-30 million, or more for a high
budget film. Most high budget institutions are American
and based in Hollywood for example Warner Bros,
Universal Studios etc.

4. The obvious and main difference between both of the budget types is the sum of money
involved with the production of the film. If there's a high budget for a movie then the
money spent of the production on the movie and the actors going towards creating it
will mean that the success of the movie will most probably be higher. An example of this
for Harry Potter would be that Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are very well known
actors which could attract the audience to watch the movie before they even know the
plot of the movie, whereas the actors from Paranormal Activity are not really known at
all. To have actors of such high quality to part take in your movie it costs a lot, therefore,
from the profit of the film the actors will be paid a large sum of money for their
presence within the movie.

5. ‘Blumhouse Production’ usually create films along the genre of horror or thriller, for
example Paranormal Activity is categorised as a ‘horror’, the film ‘The Purge’ is in the
‘horror’ genre but can also be crossed as a ‘thriller’. Whereas, ‘Warner Bros.’ usually
creates movies of a wider variety, for example it can range from ‘The Dark Knight Rises’
which is a crime/action or ‘Happy Feet’ which is a animation/comedy, following this,
they also produced ‘Sex and The City’ which is a ‘romantic comedy’, all the previous
movies were created by Warner Bros, therefore, this shows the wide variety in which
they create which could possibly give them a wider audience.
This is important for when you’re considering the production company for your film so
you’re able to know which your most likely audience that may be viewing your movie,
for example if you made a ‘romantic comedy’ you would most likely want this movie to
be produced by Warner Bros opposed to Blumhouse Production as ‘Blumhouse
Production’ are more likely to have an audience which like horrors.

6. Blumhouse Production create more movies which are horrors or thrillers they’re more
likely to attract a younger audience, like teenagers, this could be that it gives them that
sense of fear, however, they’re not put directly in the situation which gives them a sense
adrenaline. They can also enjoy these genres with friends and is quite a popular genre for
youth due to their obsession with ‘safe danger’
Warner Bros. create a wide variety of movies with quite diverse genres, therefore, they
could attract a wide variety of audience, this could help with the promotion of a film as it
allows you to make comparisons between the new movies in which they’ve produced to
an older one perhaps.

7. In a personal opinion, I feel that Warner Bros. would have more success with their
movies. They may spend more money on the productions of their movies however they
gain more money on the profit too. It also covers most, if not every single popular genre
which I think is a good idea as it allows all the family to enjoy this production company as
there is almost regular releases of each of the genre, therefore, I think the regularity of
the releases helps with the popularity of the company as a whole and due to the wide
variety of genres it allows the audience to compare and enjoy the variety and explore a
film in which they may not usually watch.
