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.

Final Piece

Credits Inspiration

See 3.24 onwards.

I recently watched the movie 'Batman Dark Knight' and took and interest into how the credits were used. However, this particular movie does not have any credits in the beginning of the film, only at the end. Reguardless of this fact, I still noted what the credits looked like and how they were used and from this movie is where i gained my inspiration. I liked the use of plain white text, it is simple and stands out. It catches the eye of the audience as it is a completely different colour from the backround and anything else that would/could be in the frame. The font of the text is also very basic and is not generated to look fancy or stylish. I think this draws more attention to the genre of the film. This film is an action thriller and so has quite an excited but eerie atmosphere and the basics of the text help tp promote this by making it appear that, in a simple way, everything is okay. However, as a result of the thriller theme, it is not. I also noticed that the text itself was positioned in the centre of the screen in a straight line. My movie is also a thriller and for the titles I decided to incorporate the use of white bold text with a basic font. I believe that this has allowed the credits to stand out and also add to the eerie atmosphere of a thriller, even if white does challenge the conventions of a thriller.

Copyright Music

When it comes to music, it is very important that you use music that is copyright free. The risks of using music that is not copyright free are fines and possibly being sued also. Copyright free music is music that has no legal protection over the way it is dirstributed and used by others. Copyright music is the opposite of this and is usually music produced by big names (such as Beyonce and Adele).

The C in a circle is used in the case of composition, lyrics, musical score and any artwork associated with the product itself. The P in the circle is associated with the sound recording itself.

The BBc is a spanish organisation that specialises in distributing non - copyright songs. They make it possible for upcoming artists to create their own songs and allow them to be embeded with your own footage.
