Production Logos

During a lesson I decided to start designing a logo for what our production company might look like. I came up with the name KGS Productions and ran it passed my group before designing some logos. I wasn't sure what theme to go with for the logo so I decided to make lots of logos all having different themes and then I would ask people in school which they thought suits best. Here are the logo ideas that I will ask people about:


This logo is a simple logo, but it also tells a lot about the production company, it has a slight red hint meaning danger. Also the words are slightly broken like ripped paper. The others have a bit more going on but are all quite self explanatory. This is the logo we most like for our production.

Colour Correction

I have had a few worries about weather with our filming scheduel, our plan is to film this weekend (18th and 19th January) because we want to film a scene in the middle of the day that is supposed to represent a later time in the day. With this fear I started to reasearch 'Adobe Pemiere' which is the diting system we will be using, I found this youtube clip that helps explain how to change brightness and contrast on a clip which will be very useful while editing the bright scenes.

Naming the thirller

Some ideas for naming the thriller have come for example:

- Little did she know
This idea came from Kim, the name fits in well with the storyline but after research we found that people did not find it very scary or creepy and that it wasn't very catchy either because of its length.
 
- Unknowing
This idea was mine, I feel it is also a good representation of the thriler as wife is unknowing of her husbands mischief and where he always goes. This was rated well with research but does not have all together that much meaning, and we want to make it meaningful.
 
- Creeper
This name was thought of by Savanna, it comes at the thriller from a different angle because mine and kim's are talking about the wife in the situation whereas this is talking about the main character and paedophile in the thriller. This option was also quite liked by people while doing some public research. We have decided that we are going to use 'Creeper' as the name for out thirller for a few reasons; there are a few defintions fo the word creeper one of the definitions is 'a clinging plant' 'any plant that grows along the ground, around another plant' this represents are character well as we want people to think of him as a clingy person that clings onto his victims, and uses people to grow. Another definition is 'any of a number of small birds that creep around in trees or vegetation', this gives the indication that he creeps around and stalks his victims without them knowing. The last definition is 'somebody or something that creeps: a person or animal that moves by creeping', this also gives the affect of the man creeping around his wife and his victims.

Storyboard

My group and I plotted our plan for our thriller in a storyboard. The storyboard will help us with the filming and editing to show us the length of each shot and the music involved in it. With filming it will help us know what needs to be in each shot and whee the camera and lights need to be in relations to the charcaters. We are not having any dialogue so there is a lot of music and sharp sounds.
