Studio Idents

Studio Idents

From the images, you can see the Studio Idents. All the idents use powerful images to show their superiority. Universal use 'the world' to show how powerful they are. Columbia use 'a statue' to show power and Walt Disney use a castle. In my media project, we will need a Studio Ident. We will be original and create one. We will demonstrate power with the Ident.

Here we have Universal Studios. It is one of the six major movie studios. It is one of the longest-lived motion picture studios to be located outside of Hollywood. The universal logo represents their superiority as the main focus is the world globe. 

Here we have Columbia, again it is one of the top movie Studios. The studio was founded in 1918. Columbia began to grow in the late 1920s, because of a successful association with director Frank Capra. The logo shows a statue and it almost links to the statue of liberty, so it displays power.

Here we have Walt Disney. The logo has a castle in it because it is aimed at the younger generation. Ther castle appeals to younger people as it is very fairytale like but at the same time, castles are very big and this is how it displays its dominance.

Here we have Warner Brothers. Their logo is in clouds, showing they're the highest and the writing in gold shows royalty and that there company is the highest. It also is shown with a shield showing their defence but also power.

What My Thriller Should Consist Of

What My Thriller Should Consist Of

In thrillers, gender, age, ethnicity and class are used to represent different things. They are looked in to closely and manipulated to the preference of the director. It is purposely done in a way of communicating social matters and other matters to the audience. I made this spider diagram from Spicynodes to try and help you understand the key concepts that come up in my media product that are important and that I have also seen in other Thrillers. The dark scenery is common at different stages in Thriller, it is seen a lot in horror Thrillers and I believe it was necessary as the dark scenery would perhaps suggest that something bad is imminent to happen. The young pretty girl is often deployed in Thrillers, often as a distraction or a sidekick to aid the man on his mission or even both as it is seen in North by Northwest as Roger Thornhill meets a dashing young blonde woman. The stereotypical black boy is not often seen in Thrillers but is now seen in more modernised Thrillers, stereotyping black boys to be criminals or a menace to society. The love interest is also present as the stalker is actually in love with Sarah but she cheated on him with a more popular boy in school so he seeks his revenge but because he has mental problems it results to him stalking her. The quick edited scenes are often used in Thrillers  both modern and old. This is a key convention of Thriller's that I took account when making my media product. The suspense is present while Sarah enters the house not knowing the stalker and his companion are there. The cliffhanger is used in many Thriller's I have watched and it is a very useful technique to use, I used it at the end of my media product.

Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment Sheet Title: The Stalker Writer: Nicholas Ahoritwere Producer: Dapo Awofolu Director: Dapo Awofolu Date: 05/02/2013

Major Issues: If we film when it’s too dark, we might not be able to see the characters clearly at all.    Filming times are not convenient for everyone in our group.    The weather might not always stay the same. Solutions: We must make sure we film as quickly, yet accurately, as possible. This is to avoid the brightness/darkness changing too much, whilst we film.     Some members in our group have other, important occupations to attend. Therefore, we must find convenient times for all of us to film.     We must always check the weather forecast before we go out to film.
