Production Companies - Deconstruction - Louise Hyam

Deconstruction of Blumhouse productions:

Here is a video of the Blumhouse productions professional company logo and the trailer it has at the beginning of every film that it is used for.

Blumhouse productions is an American Horror movie production company, founded in 2010 by Jason Blum. Blumhouse produces micro and low budget horror movies. Blumhouse produced the Academy Award with a nominated drama film Whiplash for which Jason Blum was nominated the Academy Award for Best Picture.

The genres that Blumhouse produce for are usually horror movies and thriller movies however Blumhouse productions has also produced a few comedy films and also a few drama films. Some of the films that are famous by Blumhouse or have been recently produced by Blumhouse are:

• Paranormal Activity films - Horror

• Sinister 1 and Sinister 2 - Horror
• Insidious

• The Purge - Horror
• The Boy Next Door - Thriller
• The Gift - Thriller
• Not Safe for Work - Thriller

• The ToothFairy

• Best Night Ever - Comedy
• The Babymakers - Comedy
• Whiplash - Drama

I think that the Blumhouse production company logo is very effective because of the way at the beginning before the logo comes up there is a girl and we have no idea why she is there and it creates the idea of a horror or thriller film that is about to come so this makes it effective for the genre. I also think the way that the chair fly's around before the writing 'Blumhouse' is introduced is creepy and is something that would be seen in a horror film and by using this as part of the logo for the production company it creates the creepy, eerie effect.

School production company deconstruction:

This is the school production company logo that I chose to analyse. This is the logo before the film opening begins:

The film production company logo looks like this:

I think this school made production company logo is very effective. It is effective because of the name used which is 'Shadowless Studios' and the logo and background that are used because of the name used and the fact there is no shadow shown at all in the production company opening sequence. It is also very effective because of how professional it looks the name that they chose sound professional and the logo that they designed is well designed and looks professional.

Although the logo is basic it creates more tension before the film starts because the production company that they have designed doesn't give away any signs of what type of genre the film is going to be majorly, however it does signify it wont be used on a rom - com or films like that but it doesn't specify completely what type of genre this production company would be used for.

The background that they chose is effective because its basic it doesn't draw the viewers attention to that and it keeps the focus on the logo and this is effective because the logo is different so viewers will spend time looking at that.

I think that this school production was made by the making the logo that is in the middle by drawing it onto an editing software on the computer as some kind of design that they made and they did this on a computer so that it would look more professional and not like it has been drawn free hand, they may have used shapes on a designing software to put it altogether. I think that they made it all using photoshop by adding the logo and then also making the background on another editing software so they could make it so it looked scratched. I also think that they then made the title by using photoshop to personalise the typography to be the colour that they wanted and the font that they wanted then they put it altogether then they filmed it so it could be used as a production company.
