Production logo

We chose this design for our logo as it uses a dark colour scheme that matches with the thriller genre also with our thriller opening itself as it was filmed in dark locations, with many blacks and greys matching to our logo. We also chose to use this design as its simple and easy to recognise due to its distinctive looks. It also shows all the relative information to our company such as the name.

Planning for lighting

Images of location 




The images that you can see above are the places we are going to use for our thriller opening. When planning for lighting we felt the natural light would cause the thriller to look light and we wouldn't have the low-key lighting we wished for. Although looking at the weather for the day we plan to shoot it looks like a dark and miserable day which would be at our advantage as it can help with the dark atmosphere we want. I've used the images for our location to talk about the planning for lighting. This is because as you can see there are woods in our location and trees that could help make the lighting low-key. We plan to use the nature such as the trees to our advantage to help create that low-key lighting. In the image which is set inside some old changing rooms you can see the location has an abandoned feel to it. The light in the changing rooms didn't work and this helped us as we wanted to make this location as dark as possible to represent the danger. In our opening sequence we want to have a scene when the killer turns on his car lights and then we have a jump cut to the victim tied up to a chair. At this point we will have a bright light come on, this will be used to show there is someone there apart from the victim and can represent danger as the audience can sense something is going to happen. We intend to use low-key lighting throughout most of our opening thriller sequence. This is because the low-key lighting can help creates messages and when doing our research into lighting in a thriller sequence we see a lot of low-key lighting on screen when violence and danger is approaching/present. Although when there isn't violence on screen we will have no low-key lighting, this is because we want to create a sense of normality amongst the killer and create psychological questions for the audience when the killer's character is seen.
