Logo creation

 At first i wanted to make something with a gun and a film camera, so i came up with the idea to merge them.

 First I erased the parts of the camera i wouldn't need from the uncopyrighted vector image I downloaded.

 I then got an image of a Baretta M9 toy gun which i had bought from Poundland and turned it into a vector image similar to the film camera.

 I then merged the two layers together and this composition was created.

 I downloaded a smoke paintbrush pack and used a red and a grey to make gunsmoke at the end to add interest.

 i added a silencer with a wide paint brush because i wasn't able to fit the text underneath it, it worked out really well and the text fitted perfectly.

This is my final outcome for a company logo, I really like the look of it, it is different, but interesting with not too much going on. Black being the main colour of the logo means that i could possible change the colour to any colour I want to fit any colour background I put it on

Logo Ideas

Here are my logo ideas, I eventually went with the origional idea that i had drawn.

Font options

These are some of the fonts i was thinking about using, I eventually went for the font "TOMMY__.TTF" it has a vintage look which I am going for and is bold enough to stand out, yet skinny enough to look like i want it too.

Recce

Provide answers in paragraph form to the questions below that

are relevant to your production.

1.    Are there any potential hazards that could pose a health and safety risk where your filming will take place (trailing cables/traffic/other objects )? 

There may be wet roads and wet paths, with cars driving past which could be a potential hazard

2.    What will you do to ensure these risks are minimised? 

I will make sure everyone has shoes with good grip on them, and 

3.    Will the time of day/weather affect the outcome of the trailer? Have you allowed for this? 

There will be a mixture of dry and wet weather in both day and night

4.    Have you considered the background to your trailer, particularly if taken outside?

The background of the trailer is going to bee street scenes, this is the look im going for, so it will be fine for my trailer

5.    Have you considered lighting? What about the ‘problems’ of natural lighting, either outside, or streaming through a window? Will you need to use a flash? Have you considered reflective objects that might spoil the effect? 

The lighting will be natural light and street lighting, it will add to the effect that i want my film to have, it should be sufficient lighting and i wont need any flashes or artificial lighting. the only thing that may cause reflections is puddles or wet surfaces, but that could create a good effect.

6.    Do you need permission to take photos in the place/venue you have in mind? 

The places i want to record video are in public space and i am free to video in these places

7.    Are other people/crowds likely to be an issue for you? What have you done to ensure that it will not spoil the effect?

I am going to film out of the way of the public eye so there is no disruptions to my filming

8.    Are you reliant on lifts/props/friends’ equipment/models? How have you planned that these things will come together at the appointed time? Plan B? 

I am reliant on friends for actors in the film, if they cant get there in time, I will re-arrange it for a different day

Location scouting

I will be using various back alleys to shoot my trailer, they are good for what i want to film, I will also use the bridge to make a time lapse, this will be used at the end of my trailer.

Music Copyright

I looked up the producer of the track that I wanted to use on my trailer, and sent an email to them to see if I could use it in my trailer.

Music Choice

This is the sound track I will be using for my film trailer, I really like the beat on it and I think that it will mix well when placed with an action movie trailer.

I will use this instrumental to use under the voice overs for the trailer, it will put more focus on the voice over and make it clearer, instead of both of the audio channels getting mixed up
