This is my institution work of the comparison of Paranormal Activity vs. The Amazing Spider-man.

2. Paranormal Activity was under the institution of 20th Century Fox.
Columbia Pictures were the institution who created The Amazing
Spider-Man.

3. $11,000 was put into the film Paranormal Activity, the film was a
jittery film and not well made, but managed to make a huge
profit, because of the popularity.
$779.9 million was put into the film The Amazing Spider-Man.

4. Although Paranormal Activity was such a low budget film they
actually managed to make $193 million.
The Amazing Spider-Man was a high budget film and they made
$752 million.

5. The production company for Paranormal Activity is 20th Century
Fox which is very well known and is in ‘The Big Six’ therefore it is
now a very well known, good institution.
The production company for The Amazing Spider-Man was
Columbia Pictures and this is quite well known, however, it is not in
‘The Big Six’ therefore it is not that big.

6. Unusually the high-budget film has the less well known institution behind it,
compared to the low-budget film, in which the institution is in the big six. This is
unusual because usually the more well known the film company is, the more
money the film will make.
I think the reason that Paranormal was a low-budget film could have been
because seeing as the institution is a bigger company then it may not have
needed as much money put into it because it was going to be popular either
way because of the large film company.

7. Although one film was low-budget and one was high-budget,
both of the films are very popular and famous. These both also
made a large profit from the film even though they both had a
large difference in the amount that was put into them.

8. 20th Century Fox usually makes films which are under the genre of sci-fi or horror. This
links with the film Paranormal Activity, this is because the genre of this film is also horror
like the most popular genres produced. If I was interested in making a film under 20th
Century Fox then I would choose to either do sci-fi or horror because these are the most
successful films produced by them. I think that the audience of Paranormal Activity is to
young adults or teenagers because that is the age of people that tend to commonly
watch horror films.
Columbia Pictures mainly tend to make children's films or comedies, this genre does not
link with the film of The Amazing Spider-man. However, although it was different to its
usual genre types it was still extremely popular and made a huge amount of money.
The audience which Columbia Pictures usually appeal to is children under 12 and
young adults. This is because they tend to create a lot of children's cartoon films as well
as some young adult comedies. This does not link with the genre of The Amazing Spider-
man which is action, but the company still did a good job.

9. 20th Century Fox
• Deadpool
• X-Men
• Avatar
• Fantastic Four
• The Maze Runner
• Wolverine
• Dawn of the Planet of the
Apes
• Alien
Columbia Pictures
• The Smurfs
• Paul Blart: Mall Cop
• Ghostbusters
• 2012
• 21 Jumpstreet
• RoboCop
• Casino Royale
• The Karate Kid
All of the films I have listed
are very successful films and
are well known, I think this is
because both of the film
companies are very well
known and therefore
people are interested to
watch the films.

10. I think that 20th Century Fox outperforms Columbia Pictures. This is
because it is in the Big Six and it is a lot more well known. I think
this because, there was such a little amount of money which was
put into Paranormal Activity, however, it was such a successful
film, which made such a large profit. As well as this most of the
films made by Columbia Pictures are not as well known as the
films made by 20th Century Fox.
