Production Logo

 

(1) basically we have gone for the simple idea of the logo our initials we have kept the logo fairly simple. however we have brought to our attention the colour of the font on our logo. looking at other logo they dont tend to have so many different colours.

(2) After debating on the certain points mentioned above we decided to keep the scheme black and white. also it reflects professionalism where as different colours are related to a kind of childish production.

Distrabution Company Openings

To decide which company would be most likely to produce our film, we researched well known films of the same genre and discovered which company produced there film.
Sexy Beast (2000): RPC (Recorded Picture Company), FilmFour, Kanzaman

Get Carter (1971): MGM (Metro Goldwyn-Mayer British Studios)

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998): Summit Entertainment, Steve Tisch Company, SKA films.

The Krays (1990): Fugitive TV productions, Fugitive Features, Parkfield Entertainment

Gangster No.1 (2000): FilmFour, Pagoda Films, Road movies production

The General (1998): J&M, Merlin Films

Snatch (2000): Columbia Pictures Corporation, SKA Films

Layer Cake (2004): Sony Pictures Classic, Marv Films

Face (1997): BBC Films, British Screen Productions, Daigoro Face Prodcutions

On reviewing this information, it is likely that an independent film studio would be the most likely option to produce our film.This company would most likely be FilmFour, as it has produced two British gangster films in the past.
We could also go down the route of making our own production company, but we are still considering this as it would mean a lot more work.

Chosen Typography

Font is Academic M54 and is from www.Dafont.comT

 This is the font we chose.

TYPOGRAPGY

This is the idea we are realisticly looking for. This is a well known film and we are not                            looking to imitate this font but find a similar font.

Typography

I particularly like this font due to the letters being a bit scratched and ruff. This may be trying to relate to the film in the way of not everything being all nice and clear and might relate to a bad feel.

  This is more sleaker than the font above basically i was kind of looking at the same idea of the texted being slighlty cracked and broken this giving off the same feel of something not being all good and nice.

                                                   

This is one of my favourates simply for the reason of it being incorparating the scratched text as seen beore but also the 'p' and the 'r' have crosees relating to things like an ambulance or even a cross which is sometyimes used in sketches to present someone being dead.
