The sub genre we have chosen is Possession because we
believe that it is the most interesting genre to create a film
in. There are many conventions to follow and challenge and
there are also many different narrative possibilities. Since
Possession films are becoming increasingly relevant in today's
society, it would make sense to create a film that will appeal
to a wide range of audiences that like to watch the latest
Possession films such as Insidious 2 and The Possession.
Since the sub-genre is one of the more sophisticated Horror
sub-genres, we can target a sophisticated audience that
understands the many codes and conventions of the genre.
