Production Companies:

 

There are many production companies that produce genre-specific films. For instance, PIXAR and Dreamworks tend to create the animated adventure films like Toy Story and CARS, whereas companies like Dimension Films and Cracked Screen Films produce Sci-fi and Thriller movies. These companies use difference in font, colour, background and movements to portray to their audiences what genre of film they tend to produce. For example, PIXAR have all the letters lined up in bold black font across the screen and then a little animated lamp bounces from letter to letter until it reaches the space where the ‘I’ should be where it settles and the light shines towards the audience. This small, easy-to-create animation shows that PIXAR tend to produce more casual animated films, created purely for the enjoyment of young children, with very child-friendly comedy and action. This is show by a fairly pleasant production ident. Completely different to PIXAR is Lionsgate who produce the more action-packed films like The Expendables and Hunger Games. Their ident shows the words Lionsgate floating in a cloudy sky. This logo represents the idea of falling through the sky in my opinion, which brings a great adrenaline rush but also an impending sense of fear which is exactly how action and thriller films make the audience feel because of their intense scenes that always have you on the edge of your seat and get your adrenaline going.

This Wordle shows a list of all the different professional production companies involved in producing films throughout the world.

 

Our Production Ident:

Our production logo and name that we used was completely made up by our group. We came up with the name ‘JJCM Productions’ because we decided to use the first letter of our names to create a company and it worked out quite well. Our ident fitted well into the way that our thriller begins, as every letter appears with a large banging noise, immediately putting the audience on edge as the loud banging bring with it a tense atmosphere, building up, in a way, to the start of our production. Our production logo was inspired by the whole PIXAR idea of movement through the letters and because our film is a thriller we decided to make loud banging noises at the arrival of each letter, creating suspense and adding a dramatic feel to it.

 

Titles:

We decided to put the names of the people involved in the filming and overall production of our movie on wooden boards that we propped up on the front of an old fashioned train. We flashed these throughout the production, showing each actor and actress’s name as they appeared in the film. We then added Henry Saunston (Narrator) as we decided that he plays a key part in the film as his narration describes in more detail what is occurring and why. We also added in Matthew Bostock (Director) due to the fact that he was the our main cameraman in the production of our film and James Parronchi (Editor) as he was, at first, the only one who knew how to edit our movie to an acceptable standard until we all learnt how to use I-Movie properly.
