You will need to research what the popular genres are in either movies or television and write your proposal with the intention of selling a story or format that falls in line with what is currently profitable. The title of this paper should be the name of the movie or TV show you are proposing.Write a 350- to 700-word proposal directed to either a movie or television producer who might fund your idea. Bear in mind that this is not an academic essay, so you are not writing a student paper about a pitch you want to make but rather the proposal itself. Choose one of these three to propose.1.If a movie, include a story summary of the actions of the characters (not just a tease without an ending) and characters with names and brief information about their personalities). Action should be described in the present tense. Describe why the story falls in line with what is currently profitable and an analysis discussing how your project reflects current popular entertainment trends and reflects (or not) American cultural values and their influence on social behavior.
