Potential Logos For Our Film Opening

Idea 1: Sled Productions

We felt as a group SLED productions would be a good name for the production company because it was an idea that had all of us involved as each of our first initials was used. The aspects we didnt like about this logo was the idea that it had nothing to do with romance and may look slightly inappropriate being used at the beginning of a romance genre film if the production company that created it was called SLED. We also felt that there wasn't much we could do with the sled to animate it apart from the obvious so this wasnt very effective when trying various animation techniques out. Furthermore, we didn't feel that this was a very catchy name such as some of the other ideas that we had thought about so we decided against using this idea as the audience wouldnt be able to interpret for themselves that the word SLED stood for the initials of the group members.

Idea 2: Dove Productions

As a group we felt that the idea of the dove opening up it's wings would look effective in the opening of our film as a dove most commonly reprisents love and peace which is two large semantic fields we want to try and portray within our opening. Although Dove production's relates well to the idea of romance, we had a lot of difficulty in the way that we was going to add any type of animation or sound effects to make the dove seem life like or anything like a logo in a normal film opening. When trying out various techniques we discovered that this was a lot harder than we intially thought it would be and because it is only something extra to add effect to the opening, it wasnt vital and so we didnt want to try to produce something that was going to extremelly time consuming which may stop us from doing other things of more importance such as the editing etc. In conclusion, the main reason why we decided against using this icon as our animated logo was because it was too time consuming and took a lot of skills to be able to make the logo look effective in relation to our genre.

Idea 3: Heartbreak Productions

Heartbreak productions was an idea that sprung into all of our minds when we started to draft ideas about logo's we could use. Considering the genre of our film is romance and our film idea's are based on the break up and part of a boy and his girlfriend, we wanted to try and portray these idea's through the use of the production logo either through an iconic animation or a significant title. We felt that through the use of a love heart this was done effectively and the heart could be animated quite easily through the use of an open love heart and then a fade transition into it breaking in half with the words coming out the middle of the hearts crack. Although, a down side would be that 'Heartbreak Productions' sounds to typical and boring in relation to what people would expect. We wanted something which was a bit more artistic yet not too complicated that we could use to portray the emotions that are about to be shown in the opening.

Idea 4: Blooming Productions

The idea of Blooming Productions was one that we all agreed would be really effective and worthwhile making. The 'Blooming' word came from the idea of the flowers, being the iconic animation we would use, opening up as the words appeared on the screen. This logo could suggest many things about the film opening being not only that it was a romance but that some kind of love story was either about to blossom in to something or was going to suprise the audience with something completely new as it 'opened up'. This is the exact intended effect that we wanted to achieve through our logo and we felt that the use of flowers usually reprisents guilt or passion if it is coming from a male, to a female. This can also be reprisentable within our opening as it portrays the story line to be about a possible guilt story. The begginning of our opening sequence begins with very slow music so we are hoping to use a logo that will be able to fit in with this kind of mood and tone as the flowers open slowly in time with the music being played on the background. Further more, by having flower's which arent too detailed such as roses for example, we can easily edit them into an animation on a fixed black screen which will be very effective as the colours will contrast well. The only downfall would be that it wasnt as appealing to all audience members such as boys for example. The other idea's such as the dove arent as gender specific and so they can be aimed at anyone although we don't feel that this is something that is of great concern as only a very small minority of boys would want to watch a romance anyway.
