Production Logo


This is our produciton logo that we used on our final piece. Our prodiction company is called 'LTC'. We decided to use a more basic format for our production logo as we thought that it would look more effective for a thriller than a complex one. If the logo was too complicated, it could take away the effect of the thriller as the audience would be more focused on the action of the logo rather than the piece itself.

The colours used within my production logo are red and white. The red helps to inform the audience what type of films 'LTC' are associated with. The colour red connots blood and violence and these two features are conventions of thrillers. Therefore, the use of the red helps the audience to develop their own image of what the film could be like and what type of narrative the movie would have. The white in the logo is used to help generate consitency. The credits within the clip itself are white. This goes against the conventions of a thriller and makes the logo seem more bold. Also, because this clip is a thriller and the logo is only partly associated with the genre, the logo itself will be remebered more easily as it acts as a sort of anomalie.

The transition used for the logo is a cross dissolve. We thought that a cross dissolve would be more effective as throughout our final piece, were frequently used fades/dissolves to add effect. Also, the idea that the pieces are fit together to make the title connotes that the thriller will have a sense of mystery and suspense to it and that there could be a sense of absorbing information and generating it into one big storyline, a bit like a puzzle.
