Production Company Logo

Examples of Film Production Logos

The production company logos are very simple.

Both 'Celcius Films' and 'Lime Films' have their name as the picture. We intend to use a similar idea. We want to keep the production logo as simple as possible, because simplicity works well.

Our genre is horror / thriller, so we need to take this into account when deciding on our production company logo. Most production companies tend to focus on one main genre of film. We want our production to specialise in horror. We looked at horror based film production companies:

Main Shoot: Shot Log

This was the shot log that we recorded all our shots and takes on during the main shoot. We took turns writing and recording while others helped with filming and sound. I think we used our shot log really well compared to the practise shoot and it really helped us capture footage much quicker. I think we all learnt how important it was to use a shot log on shoot.

Round up of editing Week 2

This week we started the editing of the footage from our main shoot, we were a lot happier with the footage we came back with as we had changed all the things that we decided we needed to change and improve.

One big difference between this shooting and the last is that we kept up to date with the shot log, this made it a lot easier when it came to editing as we knew exactly where on the tape the shot we wanted was. This is a picture of all of us discussing the shot log and deciding which piece of footage we needed to capture next.

This week we were in the editing room for alot longer then the previous, we had all our lessons to edit, so the same as you saw in my last editing post plus we came in two lunchtimes for half an hour and two after school sessions for an hour. We could choose any two lunchtimes out of tuesday, wednesday and thursday and any two after school periods of of the same days. The whole group didn't have to do the same sessions as eachother and this worked to our advantage as we had group members in the editing suite pretty much all the time out of the six possibly sessions we could choose.

We made some big decisions when it came to editing this week, we decided that we would have the scene of the girl in the shed second as apposed to it being the opening scene, this meant that the audience could link the two scenes together and it meant that we could finish the sequenmce off with something scary that will interest the audience.

We didn't need to re-shoot for this however we could just move the footage around on the programme we were using, adobe premier pro.This programme is fantastic,  it has many effects and different cool things you are able to add when editing.

Also this week we had decided on the music we were using, the music was very eerie and spooky, it had a slow tempo, we got this music from 'freeplaymusic' this is a great website you can get music from, and its all uncopyrited, so we were able to use it in our sequence.

However we have had some problems this week not with the editing but with the lighting in our shed scene, we have tried to adjust the light using the darkener on the programme but this doesn't looked realistic, we are looking for more of a strip of light instead of the whole shed being lit up, so we are going to have to re-shoot this weekend.

The Script

We only really needed to plan the script for the radio recording we play over the house scene. This is because the girl in the shed and the man in the house never actually exchange any dialogue. This wont make shooting the sequence any easier as we have to tell the story in other ways.

This is a picture of our original script. This is the only planning we have done for the script we have focused more on the shooting schedule and storyboard.

All it shows is some of the dialogue needed for the news on the radio. It does not include any screams and noises made by the girl in the shed. To be fair we are planning on letting the actress in the shed make up the noises and screams she makes as this will make it look more realistic as apposed to false.

We are also thinking about having the man repeat 1,2,3,4 whenever he does an action for example opening a cupboard, as this will enthesise that he has OCD, however we are not entirely sure of this as we don't want it to get too repetitive and bore the audience.

We are yet to shoot our final media product but i know we should have planned our script then we have so far. hopefully it won't have any repucutions on the quality of the product.

Main Shoot Thoughts

• Our main shoot was very successful. We were much more aware of what a shooting day consisted of and the need to work really hard to achieve a really good finished product.
• We also had an actor outside our group: Alex Thomas, (see in the post 'Amendments to casting'). Consequently we wanted to be really professional and use his time efficiently. In order to do this we held a meeting with him on the Friday before the shooting weekend just so he could do a walk through of what was going to happen. We also showed him the story board and our rough edit so he could get an idea of the character and the role he was playing. He was confidence about his role and ready to take it on.
• We had a really good time on the shoot. Our group all get on really well and work well together so we had a lot of fun and hopefully achieved a lot of good footage at the same time!

Ammendments To Casting

• 
  
  Since our test shoot, we have decided to make an ammendment to the cast, as James' performance on camera was not up to scratch, we have drafted in someone from the school Drama Department.
• 
  
  Alex, the new lead role, has partaken in Drama lessons at school since the young age of 10.He also has over 10 years of drama experience in extra curricula clubs both inside and outside school.
• 
  
  He is currently sitting his AS Drama Exam, and hopes to continue this specialist subject for at least another year and get a full A-Level in the subject. His current predicted grade is an A, which shows he has supreme acting abilities.
• 
  
  I have personally briefed alex on the task, and he seems perfectly comfortable with the role he will be playing. I have also shown him our groups rough edit and OCD symptons video, that we gained inspiration from.
• 
  
  He has agreed to the shooting time and we consider him a reliable and valued member of the team.
