Our Logo



We created our logo on PhotoShop, after downloading fonts that were suitable for horror films from http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=110. After choosing the fonts we decided to incorporate an image of an axe into the writing, this is effective as a weapon such as an axe is something the audience will expect to see in a horror film. It also reflects our chosen name of our film production "Axe Productions," which also immedietly tells the audience it will be a horror film. The axe image is from http://shepherds-bush.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html.



Fonts

We researched fonts to explore what colours and effects we could use for the opening titles and film name at the start of the film. We found some that were suitable and some that would not suit the horror genre.

This font is suitable for the horror genre as it uses the colour of red which has connotations of death and violence, which would feature in a horror/slasher film. The dripping effect is also suitable as it reflects the death as well, and the font almost appears as it has been written in blood.


This font is suitable for the horror genre because the writing looks like bones which has connotations of death, which would feature in a horror/slasher film. 

This font is also suitable for the horror genre because it includes the dripping of blood effect which reflects death and gore, which horror films consist of.

This font is suitable for the horror genre because again it includes the dripping of blood effect, and it reflects death/violence suitable for our genre of our opening sequence.
     This font is not suitable for the horror genre because it is more associated with the feminine side and it is quite modern. Whereas horror's normally include the blood dripping effect as shown above. However, this font does use the colour red which has connotations of death and violence.

This font is not suitable for a horror genre because the font does not have any connotations of death or violence as the colour is orange and the font is just bold with no specific effect to it. This font could be used for the genre of adventure.
