Choosing a Production Company Logo

In this blog I'm going to compare all of the production company logo's that everyone in our group have made, and decide which one would look the most professional and realistic to add into our 'slasher' film opening.

This is Lucy's production company logo that she made. I think the dropping leaves at the beginning of this looks really effective and would go well with our film opening, however if they were put in slow motion it would have looked a lot more effective as it would have portrayed the production company logo as sinister. I also think that the fire spoils the typography as it is white so it is therefore difficult to see the writing. I think that the typography itself though is really cleverly used as it is missing pieces which looks really effective. However, the ending after the text has come off the screen drags out for quite a while where the leaves are burning on its own. If we used this production company logo in our opening scene I would either cut this shorter, or make it fade to black before our film opening starts.

The next production company logo is the one that I created. Again, I have decided to burn a piece of paper to show destruction and loss. The camera in this however is very jolty at the beginning though which makes it look less professional. The typography is also very boring and plain, it would have looked more effective for our film opening if it was in hand writing in a blue ink colour. However, despite this the sped up reverse of time is quite original.

This production company logo was made by Josh. He has made a print out of a polaroid picture and added burn marks onto it which looks really effective. The picture then goes up in flames and burns into ashes. I also think the plain slab of concrete in the background looks quite realistic and effective for our film opening. However, the camera is a bit jolty throughout and the hand at the beginning looks quite un-professional. I think the unique way he has put it in fast motion looks really effective though.

Overall, I have decided that we are going to use Josh's, Silent productions, for our film opening as it looks really effective and the most professional.
