Production copmpany

After finishing making our Film Noir - Hard Cash, we have decided to make a production logo to put at the start of our Film Noir. We would like this to be a moving animation. We started by looking at production companies that where well known:

Walt Disney:

Dreamworks:

 Greyscale:

 Paramount:

Warner Brothers:

Metro Goldwyn Mayer:

We learnt alot from studing these still images but we thought it would also be beneficial to watch some of the production companies moving images. We learnt that they had very small simple movements and the main sounds used where diegetic or simple noises and not backing music. This is something that we would have to take into consideration when producting our moving logo. From the still images we learnt that as well as having a bold name i.e. Paramount many also had a company i.e. Viacom Company. We decided that we both really liked this and it would be something we would incoroprate into our logo.

We next started to develop some ideas:

Idea 1

We thought that this design would fit the film noir genre however, we later decided that this would not be suitable as production companies are not always for one genre. If we where to use this we wanted the guns to actually fire.

Idea 2

We though that this design would be suitable for all genres however it is a very simple design and I think adding movement or sound which we did want would be difficult. I do like the design however but compared to production company logos that are avaliable today it is very simple and would not stand out.

Idea 3

This is my favourite design out of them all, I think like idea 2 it would appeal to all kinds of genres which is the same as famous production companies avaliable today. I think that it would be really effective if we where able to get the clapper board to slam down and then the film start as this would be similar to filming in the industry however due to time constraints I don't think this will be possible. 

After thinking about the design we decided to think about our production company name and our company name.

We decided to incoroprate our initials into on fo our two names. These are our inititals:

R.G.L = Rosie Gee Lansbury

L.A.C = Lucy Alison Cunnington

From these initials we thought about our first ideas:

RAC

LL

GAL

ELEL

DOUBLE EL

We found that we both really liked Double el and we thought it was much more appropriate than just having letters. We also thought it could work well with our final design. We have therefore decided that our production company name will be Double el.

As I mentioned above when we where thinking about the design for our logo we both agreed that the first logo was related to Film Noir to much and this isn't the case with production companies otherwise we would have thousands of production comapanies made for each genre. We have however decided that we would like a company name to link slightly.

Here are some of our company name ideas:

Cinema Town

Cinema City

CinCity

SinCity

Black film

Noir film

Some of these ideas are too related to Film Noir, however we both like SinCity. Not only is it catchy and rolls of the tounge it still relates to our Film Noir, as the definition of Sin is an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law.

These are the final ideas for our procution company:

Design:

Movement: It would be nice to have the clapper slamming shut with sound but this maybe to complicated to do on Final Cut as it is not a proper animation software. However, if this is not possible I think the text should appear and we should add a little bit of sound accordingly.

Procution Name: Double el

Company Name: SinCity Company

We now need to create our prodution logo on Final Cut and add it to the start of our Film Noir.
