CONSTRUCTION: MY PRODUCTION COMPANY IDENT

I created our distribution company ident in 'Final Cut Pro X': in the screenshot above, the title name overlays an exploding galaxy. One of the challenges was ensuring that when the text appeared it expanded to fit its place properly. We chose to call our production company, 'ROMA PRODUCTIONS'. The reason why we chose this name was because 'ROMA,' is actually an abbreviation of all of our initials. E.g. Ryan, Ollie, Milo and Alexander (R.O.M.A). We thought that this name was simple yet effective. We then added the word 'Productions' at the end of it to give the company a sense of importance and professionalism

The reason why I have decided to add a picture of 'Warp Productions,' is because this is the official distribution company that we have chosen as a group. The reason why we have chosen 'Warp Films' is because they have films of the similar genre to ours. I carried our research into each individual film that they have distributed and found out general information about them. From these studies I came to the conclusion that they fitted perfectly. At my study day at the BFI, I learned from Matt Hall that the 'Warp' brand includes a lot of artist driven content and that their films are aimed at a middle ground between 'arthouse' and 'multiplex.' Warp films have distributed developing talent with very low budget production costs. These low budgets have often inspired creative freedom. 'Warp Films' have produced 'Dead Man's Shoes' (Shane Meadows, 2006) which had a great deal of improvisation, a low budget and a committed cast and crew, all of which is similar to our own production.
