From our audience research we discovered that the most popular genres at the moment are paranormal, gory and zombie. So as a group we decided to do paranormal as we want to attract our target female audience but adding an element of gore so we can get creative with blood and cuts with make up. This will also appeal to our target male audience and this will increase our range making it more popular which means more money will be made.
