INSTITUTION REFERENCE
Warner Brothers being one of the big six studios in American Film Industry got my attention. As I have chosen to make a Horror Film, I think Warner Bros meets my expectations and requirements as they have a great variety of Horror Films such as The Exorcist and The Shining (1980), They are known to be one of the greatest Horror Films of all time and manage to frighten people to this day. Some other recent outstanding Horror Films are The Conjuring Series who have received great success and critical acclaim, being a Warner Bros movie made me even more inclined to choose Warner Bros as my Institution. The thing that pushed me to make this decision was that all these movies have one thing in common they don’t use cheap jumpscare tactics but frighten us with building up suspense and creating a chilling atmosphere mixed with a great story. Which is what makes them different from regular Horror Films and that is what I achieved too and Warner Bros helped me achieve just that.
THE ARTIFACT
