This is our production logo. We created our logo using the photoshop programme where we researched pictures of "cool pyramid designs" and we came across this image which we deemed suitable for our production logo. This picture was eye catching and we agreed both the colours were vibrant and unique, which differentiates our production amongst other groups.
As we opened the photoshop programme, we had to change the dynamics of the page. We changed the width to 1920 pixels and the height to 1080 pixels, then we began to make our logo. We added a layer so that we were able to insert the pyramid design.When reinserted the image we faced the problem of size. Our image was too small to fit the background. so we had to crop the background in order to fit the image and then we used the pipette tool to capture the background colour on the image and paste it on the background of our logo. The reason why we chose the colours pink, greens, black and white is because they are bright colours and with the contrast from the black made it look more bright and eye catching. Black annotates death and pink annotates love and girly things and considering we are a production made up of girls who create films that include death and thriller scenes.

Different genres have different conventions that are shown in media pieces, which individualises each genre and this is how audiences can separate genre from genre. The thriller genre has many conventions that other main genres do not have. For example in a Romance Film, there is never dark scenes, dark colours or low music. They have more of a whimsical aesthetic to them with light colours bright scenes and high light music.
These are some main thriller conventions:
In the beginning sequences of Cabin in the Woods and Don’t Breath, the first shot is very similar with the credits being dark and relates to the theme of the movie, with the cabin in the woods the opening credits have blood seeping over pages revealing old Egyptian images while string percussion plays in the background and carries on while the camera pans round to more pictures and more blood. In don’t breathe the setting is in a town with trees and large houses, more ambient sounds to match the surroundings. The first people who are seen are a woman and a old man- the man is dragging the girl by her hair down the middle of the road, the woman looks like she has been seriously abused as there is a trail of blood where she has been dragged down the road. These scenes make the audiences think what’s happened? They ask questions about the blood on the Egyptian pictures, and why the man is dragging the girl down the road. Then the both movies cut to a dialogue scene with bright lighting. In 'The Cabin In The Woods' the scene cuts to two men in suits getting a coffee in an office whilst having a about women’s fertility while quiet elevator music plays in the background. Much of this scene doesn’t relate to the theme or pattern. Shots used: medium shot, close-up. Unlike don’t breathe where the opening scene is a flashback of 3 people the girl from the beginning and 2 young men, they are shown breaking into a house – robbery. There is a race against the clock music as the girl counts down from 30, so they don’t trigger a security alarm. The woman then goes through a young girls wardrobe and tries on some clothes, the boys are talking and smashing things at the same time. Shots used: overhead shot, extreme close up Both opening scenes use similar shots like: close ups, long shots, two shots. Both films have thriller conventions in the opening sequences which shows the audiences that it is a thriller genre piece of media. they both include low key lighting, jump cuts and creepy diegetic sounds. A thriller is a genre of film, TV, book or play it typically contains lots of action, excitement and suspense. Thrillers have many sub-genres which means different categories/types of thriller come together to create a two-toned piece of media. Within the Thriller genre, for example there can be an action thriller, psychological thriller, horror thriller and many more. This expands the thriller field and gives more inspiration and depth for film directors to get more creative and extend all the different to create a thriller. |
