Production Company Ident Analysis

Paramount Pictures (founded in 1912)
Paramount [Pictures] is one of the largest film studios and has distrubuted a variety of well-known films including Indiana Jones, Madagascar,  Friday the 13th ect. It was first known (in 1912, when it was founded) as Famous Players Film company. Paramount has one of the oldest, long-standing Logo's, always featuring a mountain surrounded by an amount of stars, the amount of stars varied and changed over the years, starting at 24 in 1912. Paramounts logo changed around the films it was used in, for example in the 50's when 3D films started to become more apparent Paramount changed their logo so it appeared more realistic. As the years went on the image changed to match the times, technology gave us the chance to add more effects into the logo and so the stars began to move within the logo.


20th Century Fox (founded in 1935)

20th Century Fox is another of the large film studios that is incredibly well know for their works distributing films and television porgrammes such as How I Met Your Mother, Biffy the Vampire Slayer, Star Wars, Fantastic Four ect. The most well known thing we recognise about the 20th Century Fox logo is the music intact, the use of the orchestra music when the logo appears. This logo is used in the Star Wars films and composer of the Star Wars films, John Williams, conducted the main theme of the Star Wars movies in the same key. The logo was modified several times over the years, in 1953 the "0" in the 20 was tilted until 1981 when it was straightened.In 1994 the logo was recreated in CGI in 3D as CGI had been introduced to the film world.

Preliminary Evaluation

The Story
Within the video we were telling the story of an investigation that takes place within a police station. Within the room, played by Royce, is a man who we soon find out is the husband of woman who recently died, but he lies about this at first to the officer but then confesses he was at the scene of the crime but still refuses to admit it was him who killed his wife.

We used all the editing techniques which we were told to use at some point within the scene.
Our scene goes straight into the use of an Eyeline Match, we see the investigator looking through the door and then in the next shot we can see what he is looking at through the door, which as we soon find out, is the suspect. Without even telling the audience who these characters are and what positions they hold within the piece they get the sense that, in combination with the acting, the man peering through the door is of a high authority, watching over this man who in the way we see him laying across the table is obviously distressed. This was supposed to be a graphic image at first, showing the body of the victim laying dead on the floor dissolve into the suspect laying across the table but unfortunately didn't have the time.
We then go into an Match on Action of the investigator making his way through the door by first filming Jack go through the door on one side and then again on the other side so we see him go in through the door one side and out of the door the other side so the audience see's this happening rather than just having the investigator jumping from one place to another.
The dialogue between the two characters then begins. We film this using a Shot Reverse Shot so we see each of the characters as they talk during the conversation so we can see who is talking and are able to see their reactions and expressions as to what they say.
We didn't at any point break the 180 degree rule, we kept within the 180 degree angle so as not to confuse the audience and so they could see the conversation set out clearly.
