Production - Film Company Logo Research and Creation

We have decided to use Ghost House Pictures as our real production company, as they exclusively produce horror films, some larger box office hits than others. For example, they produced the American remake of The Grudge(2004), The Possession(2012), and the 2013 remake of Evil Dead. This means that, whilst our film, if we were able to release it for real would not be a very small production, it would probably not be a massive blockbuster, making it likely that a dedicated horror production company would be involved, alongside a smaller production company. To obtain the logo for this production company we found the logo animation on YouTube, downloaded it, and put it into the start of our trailer.

Our small production company is called Red Herring Productions, which is the production company from my AS coursework, named as we were making a film in the thriller genre, and red herrings are frequently used in thrillers as a plot device. This device is still relevant to horror films, as they often mislead their audiences to increase shock value, for example making viewers think that the protagonist has escaped the antagonist, when he/she is really still in danger. To create our production logo, we used an online logo creator and then separated the text and image parts of the logo in Photoshop which will allow us to animate the logo in Pinnacle so separate parts of the logo appear at different times.
