Practical Task - Own Production Company

The production company name we came up with is ''Mirror Productions'' we thought this would be a suitable name as it doesn't specify a genre and the production company can be used along with any genre film. when filming it I also made sure hat there was no genre specified although the name '' Mirror Productions'' doesn't specify to a genre so it could be used with any film title. This is the production company which is seven seconds long that I made that can be used before a film starts.



How did I make my production company: To enable me to make this production company I needed to make sure that I had all of the equipment that I needed which was basic, the equipment that I used was:

- White card

- Mirror

- Light

- Camera 

To make this production company I got a white background so the white card and I put it up against a wall attaching it with cello tape and I attached it to a light coloured wall so the reflection would work better. Below is the equipment I used for the first stage:

Secondly I set up a light source which reflected off of the mirror onto the white card so I could cause a lighting shadow.

Thirdly I was then able to film the light reflecting onto the white background which was the white card and then I also used a darker light so there was a contrast between the two lights that were used. Before I started filming I made sure the lights were off so that the reflection made was more prominent. Below is how it looked before I began to film for seven seconds:

Editing:
To improve my production company I edited it to add a title, and cut the video I had recorded, add effects and add a sound track.
I did this by using an editing programme, here is a screenshot to show everything that I added.

I cut the video to remove any parts that weren't needed so it wasn't too long and I edited a title so that the production company name ''Mirror Productions'' came up. I also added a sound effect to feature as part of the production company to play in the background for seven seconds. I edited it so the sound faded in at the beginning and faded out at the end.

Evaluation:

The things that I liked about my production company is the editing. I think that I edited it well to improve the overall piece. I think the editing that I did made it look more professional by cutting out the bits that weren't so well filmed and then added a title so that it came up with the name of the production company made it more professional. I think by adding a sound effect in the background also gave it more effect and made it also look more professional.
However I think one way that I could improve it is the actual filming of the different lights in the background, I think if I could have improved the quality of the filming and the light changing against the paper it would have improved the overall effect.

Above is my final production company.
