Institution Logos Research

                             Institution Logos Research.

I have done some research on institution logos because it will give me some background information on what looks good in a institution logo and what doesn't. This research will give me some idea on what logo would fit best before the opening of my horror movie, with the use of colours, the size and the look of the fonts. I researched not just the common institutions that most people will know because it then gives us more of a variety of logos and why some do not look as good as others.

Video Of Different Logos

DreamWorks

The DreamWorks logo is very colourful and bright. The actual name of the institution is bright and multi-coloured, making the words stand out more on the background and it looks fun to the audience. The logo makes the audience think that they are going to watch a film that could be something to do with the younger generation because it has a childish look about it.  The moon with the boy sitting fishing on it is a well known logo around the world. I adds to the feeling that the film the audience are about to watch will be for the younger generation because the boy represents youth. The clouds behind the text gives a relaxed and calm feel for the audience and would make them feel happy and excited to watch the film. Seeing this logo would mean the film would probably have an animation, family and maybe comedy genre because of the use of colours and the relaxed vibe it gives off.
Past movies have been; Shrek 1, 2, 3 and 4, Megamind, How To Train Your Dragon, Over The Hedge, Kung Fu Panda 1 and 2, Flushed Away, Shark Tale and many more.
However, this logo wouldn't look good at the beginning of my horror movie because it doesn't look like it could appear at the beginning of a horror movie.


20th Century Fox

The 20th Century Fox logo is very different to DreamWorks. This logo makes the institution look important because of the spot lights that are shining on and around the main text. The spot lights also turn and shine on the main text, giving a feeling that it is important and that the audience need to look at what to spot lights are shining on because it is so good. The main text stands out because it is bold and in the colour of gold that makes it seem superior to the audience. The main text looks like it is standing on a podium, giving a feeling that the audience are being privileged because the audience are watching a film that has something to do with 20th Century Fox. This logo is very intense and makes the audience feel like they are going to watch a action, comedy genre or something that is going to excite them and the logo gets them rearing to watch.
Some Films and Tv Programs are; American Dad, The Cleveland Show, The Simpsons, How I Met Your Mother, Marley And Me, Independence Day, Life Of Pi, Skyfall, New Girl, Diary Of A Wimpy Kid 1, 2 and 3 and many more.
This logo could appear at the beginning of my horror movie, because it is a well known institution and has done some horror movies in the past.



Universal Studios

This logo stands out to the audience more because it has a space theme.  The name 'Universal' gives the impression to the audience that the film they are about to watch is so good it is going to be shown all over the universe and that then shows that this institution is so big, it goes beyond Earth. Around the Earth it is shining, giving the feel that Earth is important so the audience has to look at it. The background is very dark, with a few stars, which makes the other objects within the logo stand out a lot more. 'Universal' is in the colour white with a gold outline, showing that it is superior because it has a gold outline and shows it has a big part in the logo because it is very bold, bright and stands out in front of Earth.
Some Films that there have been; Harry Potter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, Love Actually,  Despicable Me, Pitch Perfect, Ted, Bridesmaids, The Purge, Curse Of Chucky and many more.
This logo could appear at the beginning of a horror movie because they do have another darker option that could be used for a horror movie and they also have done horror movies previously.



Focus Features

This institution's logo links with the name 'Focus Features'. The background is colourful but blurred which contrasts with the name of the institution because it is not focused. The colour goes from dark blue in the middle, to a orange/yellow and some light blue colours on the outside, so that the writing can be seen and stands out more, making it easier for the audience to read the writing. The circles look like they are zooming out because they start off small and get bigger the closer to the edge of the logo they get. This gives the effect that they are moving even though they aren't, making the logo more interesting to look at. The writing is in a yellowy colour, with Focus bigger then Features. The 'O' is blurred out, making the logo more creative and would look like not all of the writing is focused, contrasting again with the name of the institution.
Some Films that there have been; The Worlds End, ParaNorman, One Day, The Eagle, 9, Thirst, Coraline, Shaun Of The Dead, Scoop and many more.
This wouldn't be as suitable for my horror movie because it is colourful and isn't as effective as other logos that I've researched.



Working Title Films

This logo is a very dark logo. The background is black, which makes the blue and the white stand out more. The black also gives a very dark and gloomy atmosphere and a sense of mystery for the audience. The blue with the black ring within it makes the logo a bit brighter and would stand out in the cinema because it would be very bright on the black background. The blue is lighter in the middle and gets darker, looking like it is fading out, making the logo that little bit interesting to look at because it is so bland but at the same time very effective. The title, 'Working Title', it pure white, standing out from the background. It would make the audience concentrate of the title most because it would be the brightest bit of the logo. The white stands out the most, making it look like it is the most important bit in the logo, which is it because it is the title of the institution. This is very cleverly done because it means that the thing this institution want the audience to remember is the title of the institution so they have made it the brightest and boldest thing for the audience to look at.
Some Films that there have been; About Time, I Give It A Year, Paul, Nanny Mcphee, The Boat That Rocked, Wild Child, Mr Bean's Holiday, Hot Fuzz, Bridget Jones 1 and 2, Notting Hill and many more.
This would be as suitable for my horror movie because isn't colourful and is effective.


Paramount Pictures


This logo stands out because there is so much going on within the picture. The background is one big mountain, with little ones in the distance with either a sun rise or a sun set. Around the biggest mountain is a circle of stars with 'Paramount' within the circle. This shows that the writing has an importance. The title 'Paramount' is in a silvery whitish colour, which stands out from the background more and it also fits in well with the snow and the winter theme that the logo has because of the mountains. The logo has a very calm effect because it is all very still, with a landscape of mountains and the beautifulness of the surroundings which would make everyone who was looking at it feel happy. at the bottom in a big font is the number '100' with a smaller 'years' next to it. This shows that they are proud to have been going for a 100 years and that they want audiences to know that they are a successful institution and that they are proud of their business.
Some Films that there have been; Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters, Paranormal Activity, Titanic, The Devil Inside, Thor, Rango, The Lovely Bones, Iron Man, The Duchess, She's The Man, Sweeny Todd and more.
This particular logo wouldn't be as good to use because the colours are too bright and would give the audience the wrong idea of what genre film they are going to watch.


Columbia Pictures


This logo again has clouds in the background. This gives a calm feel to the logo. It also shows that the logo is high up in the clouds, showing that it is superior and a big, strong company. The woman standing in the middle on a podium is well known that it has something to do with the institute because it appears whenever the institution comes up before a film or in a magazine. This shows that they have thought about marketing a lot and made sure that they have a symbol that represents them so that the audience will remember. 'Columbia' is in a big font and stands out because it is in a bright colour. The 'U' in 'Columbia' has a flash where the sun should be amongst the clouds, which brightens up the logo, making the text stand out more and be almost holy. There is smaller writing that isn't as important as the name of the institution. That is shown by the fact it is at the bottom and is in a smaller font, so the audience have a choice on whether they want to read it or not.
Some Films that there have been; The Grudge, Ghost Rider, Hitch, 50 first Dates, Stewart Little 1 and 2, Dracula and many more.
This logo could appear at the beginning of a horror movie because they do have another darker option that could be used for a horror movie and they also have done horror movies previously.

Sony Pictures Animation


This logo is a more basic then the other ones because it just has a blank background. This background makes the audience focus on the writing rather then what is going on in the background. It also would make the audience think that the movie is going to be one for the younger generation because it is quite basic and easy to understand. The colours are blue and light blue/turquoise which are primary colours and make the logo look basic again. The style of the writing looks childish, which would add to the fact that it says animation so would probably have something to do with a younger generations movie.
Past movies have been; Open Season 1, 2 and 3, The Smurfs, Surfs Up, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs and many more.
However, this logo wouldn't look good at the beginning of my horror movie because it doesn't look like it could appear at the beginning of a horror movie.


Warner Brothers Pictures

This logo has clouds in the background again, showing that 'Warner Brothers' is very high up because it is all the way in the clouds. There is a gold shield in the middle of the picture, further more showing that this institute is important and superior because not all of them have a gold shield. The fact that the shield is in the middle means that it is the most important thing within the picture, therefore it is what they want the audience to see most. There is a lot going on in and on the shield which adds to the thought that they are proud of their institute. 'WB' is also gold, so it even further shows they are proud of their institution. The shield is a well known that it is linked to Warner Brothers Pictures because they have done a lot of advertisement in order to get audiences to remember it. The writing below again is in gold but it smaller, showing it is not as important to read but still is important to the institute.
Past movies have been; The Conjuring, The Hangover 1, 2 and 3, The Dark Knight, BeetleJuice, The Cell, 17 Again, Man Of Steel, Addicted To Love and many more.
This logo could appear at the beginning of a horror movie because they do have another darker option that could be used for a horror movie and they also have done horror movies previously.

New Line Cinema


This logo is again quite basic but it has the most important information within. The black background makes the audience focus more on what is in the middle of the picture, which is the logo and the white writing. The logo is black, but has blue behind it so that it stands out otherwise the audience would not be able to see it because it would be black on black. The blue also highlights it and makes it stand out more. 'New Line Cinema' is in a big font and is bright white, meaning it will be so much brighter on a black background and will stand out more on a black background. The smaller writing is also white so it stands out well on the black background, but it is slightly smaller which proves it is less important to the audience.
Past movies have been;The Conjuring, The Hangover 1, 2 and 3, The Dark Knight, BeetleJuice, The Cell, 17 Again, Man Of Steel, Addicted To Love and many more.
This logo could appear at the beginning of a horror movie because it's dark and could be used for a horror movie and they also have done horror movies previously.

Walt Disney Pictures

This logo is quite obviously Disney. The whole photo is every child's favourite place to visit, whether they have been there or not. The Castle in the middle at the back signifies Disney because it is the Castle at which everybody knows is related to Disney. The sky is blue with stars and pinkish clouds, which all gives an element of fantasy and looks like a really happy, fun place to be. The whole picture is very bright, with lots of things going on which would get the audience excited to watch the film and would make everyone raring to watch the film. 'Walt Disney' is in the stereotypical font that Disney use which then makes this have an instant connection to the institution. The Writing also looks like it is sparkling, which makes it look pretty as well as looking expensive and special.
Some past movies are; Alice In Wonderland, Finding Nemo, Toy Story 1, 2 and 3, Oz The Great And Powerful, Tangled, Pirates Of The Caribbean 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, Brave, High School Musical 1, 2 and 3 and many more.
However, this logo wouldn't look good at the beginning of my horror movie because it doesn't look like it could appear at the beginning of a horror movie and only does young movies.

Pixar

This logo is very basic. It has a plain background meaning that the audience will focus more on what the writing is saying. 'Pixar' is in black, meaning it will stand out more against the lighter background. The I in Pixar is a lamp, with the light facing the audience. The lamp is something most people would associate with Pixar if they saw it and it is sort of their logo. The smaller writing is also in black but it is smaller meaning that it is less important for the audience to read, but is still readable if the audience wish to read it.
Some past films are; Cars, The Incredibles, UP, Bugs Life, Walle, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, ratatouille, Toy Story 1, 2 and 3 and many more.
However, this logo wouldn't look good at the beginning of my horror movie because it doesn't look like it could appear at the beginning of a horror movie and only does young movies.

Audience Profile For Horror Genre.

Age Ratings.
                  













Most horror films are set at the age rating between 15 and 18, with a few such as "The Others" (2001) and "The Women in black"(2012) being a rating of 12. This means that the audience profile for horror movies are already limited to people usually over the ages of 15 years old.

Audience Profile For Horror Genre.

After some research on what age range mostly watch horror movies, the majority of the answers were around 15 to 25. Teenagers are a good target audience for horror films because some of the teenagers that watch horror movies are naive when it comes to what is real and what is not. Teenagers often prefer to watch things that make them jump and that give them a thrill, where as people in their 30's onwards generally don't see the point in watching something that will give you nightmares or something that is not real.


Depending on what the horror movie is about, they would attract different genders to watch. Horror movies with more blood and gore movies to do with zombies generally get more males over the age of 18 years old watching them because women generally do not like watching blood and gore or zombies that go around earth killing people and horror movies that include blood and gore are usually a 18 age certificate, therefore not as many younger boys watch them, but some ignore the age certificate and watch them anyway.


Women mostly prefer to watch the horror movies that are to do with ghosts or paranormal theories, that are sometimes based on true stories. This type of horror movie appeals more to women then men because women believe it more then men and that type of film are more likely not to have killings involved. They also get a thrill from being spooked, especially if they are with a group of friends that also are watching it.



Overall, the horror genre appeals more to men because they are the gender that likes to think they can't get scared very easily. It is also a movie that they would be able to watch without girls because a horror film isn't a typical date film, so the men could go as a group together without any girls. But some males do like to go to see a horror film with girls because they can protect the girl and show off their masculinity, because they 'cannot get scared' by a horror movie easily.


The audience profile for my opening is around 15-23 because after researching audience profiles for horror genre, I felt this is the correct age group for my opening. I feel that my opening will appeal to both males and females because of the storyline not being biased towards one specific gender. If I were to certificate this film, I would certificate it as a 15, because if it was to carry on past the opening it would have disturbing scenes that could scare people below the age of 15.

Dreamworks Animation/Studios.

DreamWorks Studios is a motion picture company formed by partners Steven Spielberg, Stacey Snider and The Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. The studio currently has a worldwide distribution deal with The Walt Disney Studios, who will market and distribute their films. DreamWorks Studios was originally founded in 1994 by Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen.

Timeline of some of the main events that have happened since it was founded.

One of the studio’s first forays into the entertainment business was the long-running sitcom “Spin City.” DreamWorks released its first feature film in September 1997—the action thriller "The Peacemaker," starring George Clooney and Nicole Kidman.

In 1999, DreamWorks released the Academy Award winning “American Beauty,” starring Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening and directed by first-time director Sam Mendes. At the box office, DreamWorks’ releases in 2000 totaled over $2 billion worldwide.

In 2004, the animation division of the studio was spun-off into a publicly traded company named DreamWorks Animation (DWA). DreamWorks founder Jeffrey Katzenberg moved with DWA becoming its CEO. Now a separate company, DWA solely produces animated feature films and television programs.

In January 2006, the company was sold to the Viacom owned studio, Paramount Pictures. Its first four releases of 2007 all debuted in the #1 spot at the box office and each earned over $100 million worldwide. The four films included the Eddie Murphy comedy “Norbit,” “Blades of Glory” starring Will Ferrell, “Disturbia,” starring Shia LaBeouf, and the Michael Bay directed “Transformers,” which alone grossed over $700 million worldwide.

At the end of 2008, Geffen departed the company, while Spielberg and Snider charted a path for their new partnership. With Geffen’s assistance, the two found a financial partner in Anil Ambani, chairman of The Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. After a year of deal making, DreamWorks secured $325 million from Reliance, which was matched by a consortium of investment banks.

Releases for 2013 include the comedy “Delivery Man,” starring Vince Vaughn, Chris Pratt and Cobie Smulders and the Wikileaks drama “The Fifth Estate,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Julian Assange, as well as Daniel Brühl, Laura Linney, Anthony Mackie, David Thewlis, Peter Capaldi, Dan Stevens, Alicia Vikander and Carice van Houten.

  For 2014, the studio has the car racing actioner “Need For Speed” based on the popular EA video game series and starring Aaron Paul, Dominic Cooper, Imogen Poots and Michael Keaton.



20th Century Fox.

The company was founded in 1904 in New York City by William Fox, a 25 year-old Jewish Hungarian immigrant, who sold his cloth processing business and with the profits earned bought a lowly "common show." At that time, "common show" was the legal phrase for the exhibition of motion pictures in a store remodeled for that purpose and containing fewer than 299 seats. These primitive movie theaters charged five cents admission and therefore became known as "nickelodeons."

As a next logical step, Mr. Fox and partners opened a film exchange - -one of the first in the nation. Named the Greater New York Film Rental Company, it provided their Nickelodeons with new movies and offered an ideal opportunity to trade films with other exhibitors and exchanges.

By 1913, the rapid growth of the exhibition industry made it almost impossible to obtain new films. Mr. Fox quickly organized the Box Office Attraction Company and began producing movies of his own.
The advent of sound in motion pictures in 1927 turned the movie industry topsy-turvy. Fox's success with the Movietone process for recording sound on film prompted the company to enter into a series of reorganizations and financial deals.

Fox Television Stations Inc. was formed in March 1986 with the purchase of six independent television stations from Metromedia, Inc. in the cities of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas , Washington D.C. and Houston.

Fox Broadcasting Company was launched in May 1986 as a satellite delivered national program service for independent stations, offering network quality, original programming for prime time and late night time periods. In October of that year, FBC went on the air with its first program, "The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers."

January 2001 saw National Geographic TV and Film, and the Fox Network launch the National Geographic Channel. The National Geographic Channel connects its viewers to the pulse of the planet, covering science, culture, natural history, and adventure.

In 2005 Fox Interactive Media (FIM) was formed to oversee News Corporation's new media acquisitions, FIM is a portfolio of leading social networking, entertainment, sports and information sites that offer a platform and tools for consumers to express themselves, communicate with each other, and engage with media.

The company's worldwide network includes such category leaders as MySpace, Photobucket, IGN, FOXSports.com, RottenTomatoes, AskMen, Flektor and more that together comprise one of the largest audiences on the Web.

In 2006 Fox Atomic was created. Atomic produces and markets theatrical movies and digital content targeting the 17 – 24 year old demographic across all media platforms. Users are also given access to entertainment content and encouraged to make, remix and share their own creations.

On December 4th 2007- Fox Entertainment Group acquired Beliefnet, the largest online faith and spirituality network. Beliefnet is a large multi-faith e-community that aims to provide a free forum for religious information and inspiration, spiritual tools, and discussions and dialogue groups.

Evaluation of 'The Devil Inside' Recreation.

                        Evaluation of 'The Devil Inside' Recreation.


During this task, I learnt a lot about how to create and edit a horror scene. It added to my research of horror in general as well because I developed my knowledge of what camera angles were effective and would give the best result to makethe scene look realistic.

I learnt how to shoot different camera angles during this task because before hand I hadn't had much practise at various shots that are used in movies. This will help me during my opening for a horror movie because I now have experience at using camera angles, such as close ups, birds eye views, side close ups, zooming while following an object or someone and a two shot.

I learnt a lot about editing too because we had to as a group edit the scene that we had recreated as well as cut clips that we did not need, whether it be because they are too long or a certain clip didn't give the right message to the audience. This will help me during the course because I have more of an idea of how to edit clips and to make them look like the clips we had shot all flowed one after the other smoothly.

I learnt how to make a scene from a horror movie look convincing, by using the right edits and by making sure that the actors/actresses could do a good job of acting what the characters in the scene were doing. This will help in the final task because I will know how to make sure that the actors/atresses are doing a good job as well as making sure that the final scene looks like a horror movie rather then a comedy or another genre.

I learnt how to work effectively in a group situation because we had to all put in our own thoughts to make the scene look good and although we had some disagreements as to what edits we should do, we quickly resolved them so we used our time wisely. Working in a group well will be a big part of our final task, so now that I know how to work effectively in a group, it will help me in the final task as I am going to be working with other people.

Our re-make of 'The Devil Inside' Connect the Cuts Scene

 

This is our finished scene that we remade from 'The Devil Inside' Connect the cuts scene. This scene has been edited and cut so that it looks as close to the original scene as we could get. The script for this scene is the same as the original scene from the movie and we also stuck to adding no music because we thought that it was more effective.

Editing Of 'The Devil Inside' Scene We Recreated

         Editing Of 'The Devil Inside' Scene We Recreated


Firstly, we opened 'Windows Live Movie Maker' which will be the program we are going to use to edit our video. We clicked on home and then clicked the add videos and images button to import our video clips. We added our video clips from the shared area and put them in order that they were filmed in so that the film flowed.

Next we had to make our first clip shorter. We decided to make this clip shorter because it ran for too long and it was unnecessary for the film. We did this by running the first clip for just over one second and then I clicked the split button. By doing that, the two shots split in two and we then could delete the part that we no longer wanted which then made the clip the length we wanted.







Then, we decided that our clip of Rachel saying "Connect the cuts" wasn't effective at the beginning of the clip because Rachel was smiling before she said it. We split the clip just before she started to speak so it cut out the majority of the laughing and she looked more serious. We then deleted the bit that we did not need, therefore it looked more effective to watch.



The same thing then happened for the next clip because before Rachel said her line, she smiled. This didn't look effective because it gave off the impression that she was saying the line for a comic reason which meant we wouldn't get the reaction off of the audience that we wanted. We did that by playing the clip and when she started to say her line we stopped it and split the clip, then deleting the clip we didn't want.

The next clip then didn't follow the original scene because it started to follow up the arm before it was suppose to. We decided the cut the clip just after Charlie had said her line so that the next clip followed on after and looked it looked more effective. We did this the same way by splitting the clip and deleting the bit we didn't need.

The next clip had Charlie's voice in the background which made the clip less effective so we decided to mute the volume so the audience wouldn't hear what she was saying. We did this by clicking the volume button and putting it down to mute so that there was no sound in the clip.

The final clip we split was the last clip where Rachel screams. We split this because Rachel started to laugh near the end and it became less effective and would give a comical element which we didn't want. So, we decided to split it just before she started to laugh and then deleted it meaning that the last bit the audience would see would be scary rather than comical.





Sound effects.

There wasn't any sound effects or music in the scene we had recreated, so to make our scene look  more like the actual scene, we too didn't add any sound effects or music. This also added more tension to the scene because it added eerie silences to the clip and made the audience focus more on what was actually happening in the scene.

Camera Angles of The Devil Inside Clip

          Camera Angles of The Devil Inside Clip 

 This camera angle is a birds eye view of our two actresses, Rachel and Charlie. This camera shows Rachel sitting on a chair on the left and Charlie sitting on a chair on the right and it establishes the setting of the scene. This four second clip doesn't have any dialogue or any movement which sets the atmosphere for the scene. It only shows Rachel's facial expression as we only see the back of Charlie.











This next camera angle is a side close up of Charlie's face. In the three second clip, Charlie says the first line of the script, "Maria, I'm your daughter", which establishes to the audience that the character is American and it gives them some background information that they are mother and daughter. Charlie's facial expression is fairly neutral and that doesn't show the audience what she is feeling, giving a bit of tension.

 The next camera angle is a close up of Rachel's facial expression. Rachel's facial expression is a creepy smile, showing the audience that Rachel's character isn't normal and that she may have something wrong with her. Then she says "Connect the cuts" over and over in a bit of a whisper. This creates a spooky atmosphere for the audience.
