Film Company Logos



Film Company Logos

 

DreamWorks Logo: 

 

The main colours consist of violets/purples/blues. These colours connote luxury and sophistication. The colour purple is also rare to see in nature, meaning that it can connote mystery. The picture in the middle is a child sitting on the moon with a fishing rod. The fact that there is a child on the moon connotes that the films they create are imaginative because children are generally imaginative. He is also sitting on the moon which further connotes imagination and mystery. The different shades of blue/purple also connotes night time, which is when people dream. The clouds have moonlight shining onto them, which makes the logo more 'magical' or fantasy-like. The font used is Serif, which connotes that is not serious and more fun and calm.

 

Universal Studios Logo:

 

The image used is a picture of Earth, which connotes that the films that they distribute are shown and enjoyed globally. The background is black, which emphasises the stars, showing that it is in the universe, meaning that Universal Studios could be enjoyed for more things such as high quality and standards of film. The stars also connote celebrities (stars) which again shows that the films they distribute are of a high standard/quality.

20th Century Fox Logo:

The characters "20th Century Fox" are very large, bold and are in a sans serif font. This connotes that they are serious about making films and produce films of a high quality. The colour gold connotes wealth, riches and quality, which implies that a lot of money, time and effort goes in to creating the film in order for it to be of a high standard. This is also further emphasised by the spotlights around the writing. Generally celebrities are associated with being in the spotlight, which is exactly what is around the logo. It implies that well-known actors will be implemented in their films. The purples and blues used in the background, similar to DreamWorks, connotes a rich and relaxing environment. The orange also shows that there might be a sunset, which further connotes that it is relaxing.

 

Take Two Productions Logo:

The two bold T's used around the writing are angled and are bigger, which makes it stand out. Where they meet each other, it under and over lines the writing, and has a film reel sort of effect. This connotes that Take Two are passionate about films. The font is sans serif and the whole logo is black and white. The black and white connotes simplicity, which may connote the style of their films as they are a smaller company. The sans serif font connotes that the films they produce are serious and have a lot of meaning behind them.

Planning The Pleminary Task

To start off, we figured out who was acting and filming. We decided that me and Ivan were acting, and Ben and Callum were filming.

Then, we looked through our storyboard as a basic guideline on what our end product should look like. These also helped us with the placement of the camera in terms of angles, and shots.

In the task, dialogue had to be used, so we decided what we were going to say in the video. We chose to just use a simple conversation to not make the video long-winded or overcomplicate the editing process, or even the actual filming process because we only had 1 hour.

During the filming and editing process, I learnt many things which I think make the video more smooth as well as meeting the task criteria.

Filming - I learnt how to incorporate the 180º rule, where whilst filming, all actors are on the same side which further makes the film flow smoothly and does not make it confusing to watch as an audience, as the actors would be swapping sides if we did not incorporate the 180º rule. I also learnt how to implement shot reverse shot, which was used when two people are having a conversation. We used an over the shoulder and tried to match eyeline, to make it more realistic, and so it shows clearly that the two people are talking to each other.

Editing - I learnt basic editing skills such as using transitions like fade in and out. Other basic skills such as cutting up a video to make the end product able to flow smoothly and making a certain section of the video quieter, because of it being louder than the other segments of the video.
