Production Company



KALOPSIA 

We decided to name our production company "Kalopsia productions". We felt that the meaning behind the word was suited as it has similar tones to our first production. The plot revolves around what are character sees, and her reaction to this, just as Kalopsia has connotations to sight and eyes.

DEFINITION -a condition, state or delusion in which things appear more beautiful than they really are. As a combination of the Greek roots kallos, meaning beauty, and opsis, meaning sight (or opos, meaning eyes), in English kalopsia can also mean beautiful sight or with beautiful eyes.

These are some of the ideas for our logo for Kalopsia. After researching and looking at similar logos to what he had pictured we have decided to create our own simple original logo. The idea of the eye comes from the definition that things appear more beautiful than they are. The decision to go with the name Kalopsia reflects how we wanted to show Meabh's memories and horror at the present. 
This was the final design of our production companies logo. We decided to keep the black and white colour scheme scene in the clip art above. With regard to the eye design we took a more abstract approach to this. We kept the general circular shape of the eye but took away the actual obvious aesthetic of an eye, this increased the originality.


Here are some other possible designs I considered after experimenting with layering circular shapes. A coloured logo was considered however we felt that the black and white looked more professional and was more suited to the opening of our film.


We also thought about the names: 
  • thanatophobia - the fear of dying 
  • monophobia - the fear of being alone 
  • vista - another word for perspective or view 
We quickly abandoned the idea of having the word phobia in the production company's name as we felt these were too negative and did not have the correct ring to them.

Origin Music And Sound

Origin Music And Sound We plan on having an original soundtrack due to the need for it to be so specific to the film. The reason we need it to be so specific is that our soundtrack effectively is the replacement for dialogue. The music will be what conveys the atmosphere and emotion however we do not want it to over power the shots either. We have decided that a simple piano melody would be the most fitting for this as it easily conveys emotion however it will not take away from the shots. Tracks To Take inspiration From T ogether we will live forever- Clint Mansell Preludes: La colombe (The Dove)- Oliver Messiaen, Hakin Austbo In the opening shots we plan on having music to create a mysterious tone however as the intensity and drama of the shots increase we will add more dissonance and it will become increasingly atonal. To record the soundtrack we will use garage band. Due to time limitations and possible future complications that could be faced in recording we have de...

Titles Analysis

Titles Analysis  Interestingly the majority of the films I chose to previously analyse did not have opening titles. One of the films that did however was Hanna. From watching the opening to the film I have noticed the following elements.  Each title fades in and fades out of the shot that it is featured in. The selected font is white which is interesting as the background is of a similar colour.  The titles are placed in the centre of the screen. Being placed against the barren landscape this also helps them to stand out. The way in which the titles appear in shots with no music also helps them to increase the focus on them. Stranger Things In stranger things the credits take a place against a black background. Surrounding it is the edges of the full title "stranger things". Stranger Things creates mystery in the titles in a different way to Hanna. The colour scheme is much darker and sinister looking however the choice of font remains white....
