A paragraph on how the film industry has affected Halloween

In 2007 Rob Zombies movie, Halloween was released. It was a film which has a low to
medium budget of 15 million dollars. Halloween was released in august on the 31st.
This was an unordinary release date as Halloween falls in October, but in August their
target audience who is teenagers are on their summer holidays so this means the movie
will be watched more and therefore they will make a bigger profit. The first thing we
know when we look at the front cover of the movie we can see the director is Rob
Zombie, this therefore informs the audience that it will be an interesting and good from
due to his previous work. So the film industry has affected the film Halloween because
of the representations of directors and the days that they choose to publish the movies
to grasp a larger audience.
