My Studio logo development process


                                  
                                    

                                      We started with an image that we had in mind 
                                             which in this case was a crystal ball


We then added text of our studio name with a 
colour that went with the colours all ready existing on the image  in order to stick to the codes and conventions of studio logos 

We then played with the colours as we felt the brighter ones didn't portray the horror opening we were planning to create.

Finally we continued to play with the colours and darken them down till we were satisfied with our 
finished logo.

Fllm Synopsis; My Friend Charlie

The film is based on a girl (played by Lily Grace Butler). It begins by showing a psychiatric interview session in place with the girl as an adolescent. Here it allows us to see that there was evidence to show her prediction of events that happened later (9/11, ISIS etc). As the story unfolds we see a flashback of a situation mentioned as evidence in the interview, showing her as a young girl with a baby sitter. The young girl gives of strange vibes from the start with blank facial expression, lack of response to questions and the fact she is home alone when the babysitter arrives at such a young age. The base of this flashback is the girl writing her own story, however this book appeared to be chillingly accurate, as the main character in this book is the babysitter. Going back to the interview after seeing this event we are able to understand that perhaps it wasn't the girl that thought of these ideas, but something telling her. Charlie.


Statistical Analysis of Film

From this table we are able to see that in the year 2013 64 thriller films were released and only 37 Horror (24 less). However Horror gained 5% of the total box office and Thriller only gained 2.5% showing that even though there were more thriller films than horror it didn't mean that thriller would be more popular with the public. We can also see the Horror earned 57.5 million and thriller only earned 29.1 million, this tells us that even though more thriller films are release horror films are much more profitable. However Animation had the highest % at the box office at 21.4%. This was Despicable Me 2 which means it could have been because the first movie was popular and the public wanted to watch the follow up, however it's most likely that the genre is Animation. This is because this genre can cater to all ages and not just adults (like horror) but children and the elderly as well. 


In this table we can see the amount of cinemas each genre of film was shown at. We can see that SciFi was shown at the most cinemas (422), which allows us to conclude that this genre has a higher demand from the public. Therefore this genre is shown at more places due to it gaining box offices more money, this could be because these films have now become more life like and special effects have advanced to make SciFi more exciting for audiences as it's something beyond our world. However war films are shown at the least amount of cinemas (14) which could be because they are the opposite to SciFi- unpopular and therefore not profitable for box offices.  It could also be because war films are boring as war is everywhere in the media and therefore war doesn't seem as interesting to watch.
