Production Company Logo's

These logo's are designed to be recognised instantly. It captures the audiences minds and makes the logo stick to them. It takes hours and lots of money for company's to create a logo. And as a result it must be effective at making people recognise the production company instantly. We have created a logo at the start of our film which was specificly designed to be simple, but at the same time, aesthetic and pleasing to look at. We have added the name of our company logo on too, which eliminates the chance of people forgetting our production logo. while creating our logo, we aimed to make it stand out. We feel we have done this effectively. This is because we have added sharp colours and bold writing to capture the audiences eye. The juxtaposition of the logo is central because it shows that the audience will oly remember the logo and not get distracted by anything else on the screen. To conclude,I think that our production logo is well presented and promotes our film effectively.

   Below are some examples of logo's that re used at the start of films. These are instantly recognised and the audience has a clear picture of what company has made the film.

Film Locations

We have filmed all of our film at James Marsall's house which is located in Clifton Campville. Some of the footage is outside of the house, which was filmed at various times of the day. This was done because on some of the scenes we needed the night sky as a prop. The majority of our film has being filmed inside the house. These shots where filmed in different locations in the house. We have used a wide range of shots to create different atmospheres within the house. For example, we have turned the lights of in certain rooms to create a snse of darkness which shadows our theme of horror.

Film Rating

There are a few differences between certificates. Here are the definitions for each certificate.

12A - Films under this category are considered to be unsuitable for very young people. Those aged under 12 years are only admitted if accompanied by an adult, aged at least 18 years, at all times during the motion picture. However, it is generally not recommended that children under 12 years should watch the film. Films under this category can contain mature themes, discrimination, soft drugs, moderate swear words, infrequent strong language and moderate violence/sex references.

12 - Nobody younger than 12 can rent or buy a 12-rated VHS, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game. Films in this category may include infrequent drugs, infrequent use of strong language, brief nudity, discreet sexual activity, and moderate violence.

15 - Nobody younger than 15 can rent or buy a 15-rated VHS, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game, or watch a film in the cinema with this rating. Films under this category can contain adult themes, hard drugs, strong language and one use of very strong language, moderate-strong violence/sex references, and undetailed sex activity.

18 - Nobody younger than 18 can rent or buy an 18-rated VHS, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game, or watch a film in the cinema with this rating. Films under this category do not have limitation on the bad language that is used. Hard drugs are generally allowed, and strong violence/sex references along with strong sexual activity is also allowed. Scenes of strong real sex may be permitted if justified by the context.

We have decided that our film rating will be a 15 certificate. This means that our film can contain adult themes. The most important thing under this certificate though is the fact it can contain moderate-strong violence. We have chose this rating because our film opening doesn't contain any dialogue so therefore there can be no evidence of strong language. There isn't any violence that involves pain in our film either so therefore it is suited to a 15 rated certificate.
