First Draft of the trailer (without non-diegetic sound)

This is our first rough cut of the trailer. As we got audience feedback on it we added non-diegetic sound so we thought we should export it first and then show the audience feedback. The next trailer cut will have the non-diegetic sound included and should be our final cut.

Editing

In this screenshot we were attempting to cut out the ambient sound in this shot so we had to get the sound waves up and cut out the unnecessary sound. However it was quite difficult to do this so my only option was to keep the noise because we remembered that having the soundtrack will drown out the ambient sound and as well as not taking over the dialogue.

Production Companies

What is the purpose of film logos?

A production logo is the introduction between a company and an audience member, communicating what the company is all about and what films they produce. For that reason companies invest a lot of thought and effort into their logo design, thus ensuring that their message is broadcasted loud and clear.

Logos from companies in media and design industry are especially interesting, because when a company is promising to be creative for a client, you expect it to be creative with everything that has to do with its own identity. This needs to showcase creativity within the logo leads to some stunning marks.

We have been using a variety of secondary research sources to help us have a clear understanding for the reason why production companies are created. This website below shows examples of logos that have been created for numerous of different films.

Also Sarah did some secondary research and found this PowerPoint which analyses different genre movie posters. This is beneficial for our production for making our own movie poster for Chemistry as it allows us to have an understanding for what appeals to our target audience of teenage girls age, 15-18 years old.
