Production Logo (INITIAL IDEAS)

Ideas for Production Logo

For our final production logo we have both thought hard about what we could use to create an effective logo. As the logo will be the first thing shown in our opening sequence we have decided that it is vital to use something eye-catching and aesthetically pleasing. We thought that the best way around this was to cut a clip from a movie (most likely something high budget) and chop it up to form a brief and abstract piece of film. We'd then add affects to personalise our production logo further (sound would also be removed and replaced).

By doing this we believe we can improve the overall quality of our sequence - as they say; its the first and last seconds that really count. Here are some of the general ideas for clips that we came up with:

-Pacific Rim(2013)
This would be good because the special effects used in the movie are extremely impressive and there are a wide variety of shots and scenes that could work for logo.

-Watchmen(2009)
Watchmen is a visually striking film with a lot of iconic content. It is also a classic superhero comic for adults with that same unmistakable style used throughout the film. We thought that this might be appropriate because it symbolised innovation in the sense that it brought about a new era for Superhero movies.

-Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix(2007)
The Harry Potter franchise is a well absorbed story with a lot of support behind it. It is extremely well known and there are certain scenes with the film (I believe especially this one) that are really awe striking and would belong well in the form of a short clip. However, we would be obliged to edit parts with the characters out as it may seem like a bit of a 'rip-off'.

-Sunshine(2007)
This is my favourite idea because although Sunshine is an epically visual film with high potential for a sci-fi film it is surprisingly unheard of. This would allow us to create a logo which the vast majority of the audience will not recognise.

-Inception(2010)
Although Inception is a more than worthy contender for our final choice - with lots and lots of scenes that could be manipulated in to something visually pleasing we both felt that it was a bit cliché.
