Music and Permission letter/rights

To be able to use the song we chose, we first had to e-mail the production company in charge of managing and distributing the song.

The e-mail sent had to ask for permission to use the song but also included a sentence that allowed us to use the track if they didn't reply:

"If we do not receive a reply, this will tell us that we can use the song".

Although a very quick endeavour, it was vital to our project. If this wasn't done then we might not of been able to use the song at all.

MoodBoard

This is a MoodBoard we designed as inspiration to help us create the idea of using the genre of a crime,thriller. Making the product appeal to our audience by using multiple of the images as influence to keep them watching.  

Film Logo/ Our Production company

The following is my ideas for logos for a production company. My idea was to correlate the genres of both the opening and the production company.

This image was created on Microsoft power point. What I have done to make this is the following:

I searched crusade Templar cross into Google search and found the following image. What i then did was edited the image to push the cross down to provide room for the writing.

To conclude I used font 'Script' to do the crusade lettering and added the productions in font 'arial'. I then added spaces to spread the lettering evenly below the crusade lettering.

Crusade productions correlate to our opening through genre. Our genre is crime due to the fact that in our opening, a crime is committed to have the criminal incarcerated. The way in which it correlates is due to the fact that crime has been around for centuries and the crusades were believed to be about purity against sin. From this we used the link to make a logo which includes the Knights Templar cross. This cross was a symbol of purity which is how we contrast and correlate it to the crime genre.

 To create this I used adobe fireworks, this is due to the fact that it has the feature to group words and images together to make it useful for merging the two (swords and lettering) together. Where the swords are concerned, the swords were taken from the internet by searching 'crossed swords' and from there I had to edit out the black background that it came in to successfully merge it into the lettering. For the lettering, I used the font 'Algerian regular' to give the effect of an historical feel to the logo.

Here is another example of Crusade productions that we came invented. We have decided that this is a good logo to relate to the crime genre due to the fact that the crossed swords are commonly associated to pirates. Pirates lived a life of crime during the 1500's and were rather ruthless. We decided to use this layout due to the fact that it related into our genre a lot more. In addition I have integrated the actual cross swords to be the A in crusade which shows that they are connected through the genre of crime, as I've just explained.​
