Genre Marketing - Disturbia

The film is a horror/thriller film and you can see this because of the colours used in these images, you can tell this because of the dark colours that have been used here. Also, the main character, who is Shia LaBeouf has a very serious look on his face which tells us again that this film is a horror. He is also looking straight at us, i think they have done this to make us feel a little uneasy and nervous.

Research of RKO Studios

RKO studios stands for 'Radio-Keith-Orpheum' and it is an American film production and distribution company. Some of the most famous films to come out of RKO studios are 'King Kong' and 'Citizen Kane'. RKO studios was known as one of the big five studios of Hollywood Golden age. An industrialist Howard Hughes took over RKO in 1948. This didn't go very well and in 1955 the studio was bought by the 'General tire and Rubber company'. The original RKO studios ceased production in 1957 and effectively dissolved to years later. In 1989 there was only a few remaining assets, the trademark and everything else was sold to the new owners, who now operate a small independent company RKO Pictures.

Tim Robbins

Some of his most important films that he has been in are 'War of the Worlds', 'Shawshank Redemption', Green Lantern' and he has also been in 'Toy Soldiers'. Most of the films that he has been included are usually action films but on the other hand some are also drama films. He doesn't directly get involved in these action films, but he is on the side as a stranger who gets involved with the main characters life somehow. 
Tim Robbins has been treated well in the film industry, you know this because how long he has been in the film industry and also how successful.
