Our Company Logo

 
    For our company logo, we wanted something that would reflect our genre and company. We chose 'Trespass' to create a sense of venturing into the unknown and dangerous, thus reflecting our genre of horror. We felt that our logo should reflect this idea of trespassing, and so we experimented with the linked image of barbed wire. Again, imagery-wise, it brings up images of danger and violence. We eventually settled on the company name being wrapped up in barbed wire. We chose a monochromatic colour scheme of black and grey to imitate metal, and by keeping it neutral it keeps it harsh and chilling.

Our Equipment

The camera we used for filming was a Panasonic Lumix GH2 with a 14-140mm lens. The camera is designed for filming long sessions in high quality, and the lens has a silent focus. However, while filming we discovered that automatic focus caused the camera to blur mid shot, and so we used the manual focus instead. This meant that every time we were about to film, we had to refocus.

We were left with crisp clips with high quality sound and could edit easily.

We used a Koenig KN-Tripod19 to steady the camera. It was lightweight, perfect for carrying through the forest, and had a spirit level so we could make sure that the shots were level and the camera was straight. It had a panning handle, making it easy to move the camera. We also used the tripod to help counterbalance some of the shaking that would have occurred during the filming of the running shots.









For the lighting, we used simple LED lights with a cool white colour as it helped to set the mood. Each light had 5 hours of battery and were rechargeable, as well as being designed to combat all weather. This made them perfect for filming and meant that any weather we faced would not have any effect.





As the lights were so strong, we used pieces of chiffon in various colours that would work with our genre. We felt that shades of blue with the coolness of the lights would create a chilling atmosphere and emphasise what the weather may be like. It also helped add mood lighting into scenes, such as in the party.





We used a RØDE VideoMic Directional On-Camera Microphone to improve sound quality when shooting. It also helped cut down wind noise, meaning that once again weather was not a problem.
