Live Type Trials

During our lessons we started to focus on making a production logo and we tried out different ways to present it. Here is our first idea that we thought of for our production logo that we thought would also suit our genre:

IDEA 1:

Here is the video of one of our ideas for our production logo, firstly each letter glows white from the start of dash to the end of productions highlighting the word and allowing the audience to focus on it. Also, it creates it to be more mysterious suiting our genre.

Then, after all the letters have been highlighted, they shake to create the effect of it being unstable and jolty so the audience become firm and get a hint of what the genre is going to be. Also, it again emphasises the name and sticks in the audience's head so they know what its called for future reference and also it encodes our text and signifies that it is going to be a thriller/crime.

After, all the shaking and glowing, the words then start to fade out along with the clapper board so the audience know it has finished and know the film is about to start. Again, it becomes mysterious and unsettling to the audience because they would also wonder where has it gone and is anything going to pop out at them.

IDEA 2:

In this version, we decided to welcome each letter in by being highlighted red and landing on the clapper board one at a time. We thought this would be better because the colour is red with suits our genre of being dangerous and also it is quite bold and stands out from the background ensuring that the audience will remember our production logo and what it is called.

Again, instead of having this as our first shot we decided to make it become our second effect of the scene. It highlights each letter with a glow of white making it stand out and making the audience take notice of it.

Finally, again each letter fades out and ends the scene and the clapper board also fades out leaving a blank screen so it can roll onto our first scene of our opening sequence.


We have thought of more ideas but we feel this is the best and we want it to not be to cliché or predictable so we stuck with this because it suits our standards.
