Why Choose This Course
| Genre | UK Market Share (%) |
|---|---|
| French New Extremity Films | 5 |
| Horror | 20 |
| Action | 30 |
French New Extremity Films, a subgenre characterized by its graphic violence and psychological exploration, present a unique challenge and opportunity in today's market. While the UK film market shows a comparatively small 5% market share for this niche genre (see chart below), a positive psychology approach can leverage its inherent intensity to create a cathartic and ultimately beneficial viewing experience. This approach can focus on exploring themes of resilience, trauma recovery, and the human spirit's capacity to overcome adversity. Such a strategy could resonate with audiences seeking emotionally engaging narratives, providing a unique selling point within the broader landscape of horror and thriller genres, which dominate the UK market (approximately 50% combined, according to recent BFI statistics). This strategy requires a nuanced understanding of audience preferences and the ethical considerations surrounding violent content, necessitating a sophisticated marketing and distribution plan targeting specific demographics. The potential for growth, however, lies in tapping into the fascination with extreme cinema while offering a positive and transformative message.
