Logo's for Production Company and 'Facespace' page

This is the logo for my production company, "Awkward Turtle Productions." My group and I have created it using Photoshop. We used the fill comand to create the blue background and then we copy and pasted the hands onto it. The background colour is the same blue that we used for the 'Facespace' logo. This is because we wanted it to match the 'Facespace' logo so it showed a link between them for the audience. We then copy and pasted an image of a cut into the centre of the hands, which we had to crop to fit, to show that there is going to be some sort of horror element to the film. Some production companys and distributors somethings change their logo slightly to match the opening titles, for example Warner Bros in Harry Potter and Walt Disney in a number of their films. Then, as a group, we did the writing for 'awkward turtle' in a font that we thought could be our signature style font and then we slightly changed the 'productions' once again to add the horror element to it.


Josh is part of our group. He came up with the "Angeldust" idea to start with. He has been creating the 'facespace' pages on Photoshop. We are planning to animate on top of them for our opening sequence when we edit the footage that we get on our shoot day.

Change of idea!

Our original storyline was creepy guy on the interent searches on Facebook for victims that he can kill. The opening sequence was going to start with footage of a mutilated girl and then the camera was going to zoom in on her face and melt into her profile piture on Facebook. The camera will then track back to reveal the creepy guy looking on his computer looking at the girls profile page and talking to her and finding out where she is going to so he can 'accidently' bump into her. They end up meeting in a club and then she ends up going back with him to his flat, where he spikes her drink with Angeldust. She goes under the influence of it and starts to get double vision. He places a knife down in front of her and prompts her to cut herself. (It has been proven that under the influence of Angel Dust if prompted to kill yourself you will.) But we ended up changing our idea. We wanted someting clever and different and a better way of starting the beginning of a film. As a group we have changed the way in which we are going to film our opening sequence. Instead of having basicall a miniture film, we have now decided to base the whole opening sequence on our 'Facebook' like page. To go between shots we will have links on the pages that once clicked will go to the next page. On the pages we will incorperate the titles into the text and instead of having big chunks of film we have decided it will be more effective to have shot clips appear on the 'Facebook' pages, along with photographs of the event instead of a small film.
