Production Company

• To decide which production company is the best to use, we looked at several production companies and the horror films they produced.

• Dark Castle Entertainment has produced several horror films:
• Ghost ship [2002]- Supernatural, Thir13en Ghosts [2001]- Supernatural, House on Haunted Hill [1999]- Supernatural
• But only one psychological horror:
• Orphan [2009]

• Twisted Pictures is similar in that it has produced several horror films:
• Saw [2004-2010]- slasher, Dead Silence [2007]- supernatural,
• but has not produced many psychological horrors.

• Platinum Dunes has produced Texas Chainsaw Massacre [2003]- slasher, The Purge [2013]- science fiction & The Unborn [2009]- supernatural
• But no psychological horrors.

• We decided that Paramount Pictures is the best option for us as they have produced horror films from a range of genres, including psychological horror films:
• Shutter Island [2010], Zodiac [2007]

• As we chose the psychological horror genre for our opening sequence, we felt that a production company that has produced several psychological horror films already (Paramount Pictures) would be the best option.
• Their logo, however, does not appear to fit the psychological horror genre:

• I edited this image, to ensure that the audience realises that the film is within the horror genre, from the very beginning of the sequence.

• Firstly, using photoshop, I made the image darker, and less saturated.
• I also added a grainy texture.

• I created several glitch effects, so that the overall animation would have a distorted, sinister tone.

• Overall, I feel that the result is effective, as it is more clearly from a horror film than the original logo was.
• One improvement that needs to be made, is that the production company itself isn't clear to the audience as it does not stay on the screen for enough time.  To solve this problem, the edited logo should appear again after the glitch has occurred, to become more readable for the audience.
