TASK 2.3: Research Into Existing Products - Studio Logos/Film Titles

Film Titles

Every film includes a sequence of titles, which lists the most important cast and crew. This can either be incorporated into the film or as separate screens. The majority of title sequences follow the same structure, which is as follows:

1. Studio Logo
2. Studio/Producer Presents
3. Starring main actor & major actor
4. Title of Film
5. Cameraperson
6. Editor
7. Composer/Music by
8. Screenwriter
9. Producer
10. Director

Although some films feature more roles, these are the most significant which will always be included in the opening credits. Embedded is an example of opening titles, from the James Bond film 'Skyfall'.

Using these titles as a template, we created our own:

Studio Logos

Every film features the studio logo at the start. These are some examples of major studios' logos:

Warner Bros. Pictures Studio Logo

Universal Studio Logo

Paramount Studio Logo

Therefore, we had to make our own logo to insert at the start of our opening sequence. In order to do this, I made several examples so that we could decide as a group which we thought would suit our film best. This included experimenting with fonts, which we wanted to reflect the romantic-comedy genre of our film.
