Production Company Logo

 

This is the logo of the production company we have created. The colours we used for our logo is red and black, to show danger . The use of these colours is interesting as black is a very dull and dark colour, whereas red is a bright colour. Also these are colours a clown would wear. The name sadistic studios is to emphasise the fact its to do with horror, as sadistic means getting pleasure from inflicting pain, suffering, or humiliation on others.

Filming Our Opening Tiles

When we starting filming the first night, after a few hours of recording the camera battery ran out so we couldnt continue. When we then watched the clips we recorded, when we were back at school, they wasnt very good and what we expecting. The shots outside were too dark and the sound wasnt very loud on some of the clips. So we then decided to re film it all again, as the continuity wasnt good either as we moved things in different places while recorded and it didnt run smoothly.

This was us filming outside. We had trouble with the lighting as the first time we recorded, when we played it back to ourselfs we noticed that we couldnt see the shot very clearly. Because of this we re-recorded the outside shots and used torches and phone flash lights to brighten the shot, so we could see more clearly.

 

 

 

This was us recording the inside shots of kayleigh washing up. We took various different types of shots at different angles. We noticed in a few of the shots we could see the camera and us recording in the reflection of the window, so we had to record the shots again making sure we culd ot see us in the reflection with the camera.

We had to keep everything the same in the shots so the continuity was the same throughout. However we made a mistake of leaving the microphone in one of the shots, so we had to re-record these shots.

 

 

Me ad Joe took it in turns to record kayleigh for the inside shots.

 

So we could get the microphone near kayleigh to pick up her speaking on the phone clearly, we had to improvise and put the microphone on the end of a stick to get quality sound.

Our Font For Our Title Sequence

This titles is the font we have chosen to use for our opening.

We have chosen this font because it looks like a circus kind of font and its unusual. We also put it in red as it represents blood and gives a mysterious feel for the audience.

Font Analysis

http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/the-evil-dead-trilogy/


The font for the title sequence of this horror film is linked well with the theme of horror. The font is very rough and jagged, asif bits of the letters are missing (as letters are normally blocked letters). This is mysterious and could be represtenting how people can go missing and dissapear, which is scary and unpleasant. The colour used, which is red, is associated with blood and anger, these are negative and create a negative feel for the audience. The font also looks like it has been written in blood which is unusual and makes people think of death/murder.

Font Analysis

We have been looking at different fonts, for ideas for the title for our opening. These fonts are a very unusual shape. The lettering goes from fat to thin on both and its very odd as normal text is normally neat and inproportion. I analysed different types of fonts I thought would be suitable to use in a horror film, and from this research I have started to produce a film title for our opening scene. These fonts i chose look creepy and distorted and that's what we were looking for for our opening titles, something scary and eye catching. We could have added sound effects to make it sound like a child was writing it on a chalkboard. We didnt end up choosing any of these fonts as we found a font that suited our movie a lot better.

Props

These are two of the main props we used...

We used a red balloon for the clown to hold. This was a vital prop in our opening titles as it is used throughout the titles. We used a red balloon oposed to another colour as red represents danger as its the colour of blood blood. Also a balloon is normally associated with partys, happy events and children, completly opposite to what its used for in our opening titles for horror. We was going to put blood in the balloon so when the clown popped the balloon the blood went all over the woman, however we found that this would be to difficult to do so instead we used it without the blood and it looked just as good.

Another of one our main props was a knife. Knives are perceived as a weapon and danger so we used this because of that. However we also used it as a normal household object by having the woman washing up with it, but having a creepy edge to it when she pours the red fairy liquid onto it.

Costumes

This is the clown costume we used in our filming. We chose this as the colours are mainly bright, like an ordinary funny clown. However there is also dark parts of the costume, like the black colar round his neck, this gives the costume a mix of the 'horror clown' and the everyday 'normal clown'. Also the mask of the clown is very scary and brings across our theme of horror.
