CONSTRUCTION: PRODUCTION COMPANY IDENT

For our trailer, we needed a production company ident for our film production company ALT MEDIA

Our brand needed an ident that reflected our company values and the kinds of films that we enjoy developing: modern/ futuristic and inventive, concerned with technology and exploration of ideas. To convey these concepts, I produced a stunning, vibrant stop animation of ink flowing through water.

I used a combination of Photoshop, StopMotion Studio and iMovie,

We used a bold, powerful font Star Galaxy to display "ALT Media"

To create the moving ink aspect I photographed ink being injected into a tank of water at high speed, on continuous mode, to ensure the entire movement of the ink was captured in one burst of photos.

CONSTRUCTION: BBFC FILM CERTIFICATE

All UK films are given an age rating by the BBFC.

The BBFC's focus is on helping children and families choose well by providing them with the guidance they need to help them choose what’s right for them and avoid what’s not.
The BBFC’s classification standards reflect people’s current views and expectations and their decisions give due weight to what people find acceptable for each age rating.

When these consultations find significant changes in people’s expectations, they adjust their standards and criteria accordingly.
Their standards are published in the BBFC’s Classification Guidelines.These give details of what’s acceptable in each age category from U to R18, and explain the laws and principles that govern our work.
The BBC has two over-riding principles, which are as follows:
  • To protect children and vulnerable adults from potentially harmful or otherwise unsuitable content
  • To help children and families choose what’s right for them and avoid what’s not
I used a template and edited it to reflect our film, Extinction.
