FX Makeup

In order to effectively convey the horror genre, I need to make the villain within my film opening look as evil and terrifying as I possibly can, to do this, I will use liquid latex and scar wax in order to create realistic looking wounds upon whoever plays my villain. To start looking into how I'm going to go about this, I have found some youtube videos which will help me when creating the villain for my opening sequence.

Film Company logos

When watching a film, one thing is always advertised no matter the budget, popularity or genre of the specific film, and that thing is the logo of the company of whoever made the film. In addition to this, it is often found that in successful films, more than one company is involved in the making of the film, furthermore meaning that there is typically more than one logo shown within the opening of a film. So, in order to ensure that my film opening is as realistic as possible with the facilities available to me, I have created some logos which I believe are believable and will fit into my selected genre and the mood of my film opening. They can be found below.



This is the first logo I made, I chose the name "psycho entertainment" as I believe that it sounds professional and it fits in with the genre of film opening. The reason I selected the bloody handprint for the backdrop of my logo is because it is iconographic for genres such as crime and horror, and will furthermore inform an audience of the genre of my film opening before they even start watching.


This is the second logo I have made, the reason I have chose to make this logo is because it gives off quite a niche and indie vibe, and since my Target Audience are horror lovers, you could say that they could be a part of quite a niche group of society, furthermore meaning that this logo will intrigue them as it's something which is different and original.



This is the third and final logo I have made for my film opening, the way I went about making this logo is by finding a picture of an eye on google images before editing it and adding some text. The reason I made this logo is because I think it fits in really well with my genre and other logos, and the spider dangling from the eyelashes will really help in providing a gothic tone to my opening sequence.
