Production companies
The production company logo is extremely important as it is the second thing that the audience will see in our OTS, as a result we need to ensure that it looks professional so that our OTS looks realistic. In order for our production company logo to look realistic we must use appropriate images and font to the genre of our movie, in this case ours is horror. As a result of this we have included the use of a heart and dripping blood, this is also because these are the things that you may expect to see in a horror movie.
Some major production companies that help produce and fund horror movies are twisted pictures, Blumhouse Productions and Ghost house pictures. They have all become very successful by producing high quality horror movies that have all become instant classics.

Blumhouse Productions
Blumhouse productions was founded in 2000 by Jason Blum, they are known for their low budget movies by never spending over $5million on their films however their movies outshine and out sell almost all of their higher budget competitors. They have made one of the most creditable and best selling horror franchises of recent time in Paranormal Activity, Blumhouse also created The Purge and ouija which are also very popular horror movies from recent times. In their logo there are paranormal happenings such as a floating chair and a floating book, there is also a little girl who appears to be either a ghost or possessed, this is very suitable for their movies as ouija and paranormal activity feature these items frequently. Due to them having a very different logo due to the constant movement and inclusion of a character it really stands out to the audience and the viewer will know exactly who the production company is as soon as it starts.

Twisted Pictures
To the right is the logo used by Twisted Pictures, a production company that is renowned for making horror movies; one the films they are best known for producing is the Saw series which is looked at as one of the most successful horror franchises. This is why their production company logo based around horror as they have also based their logo on the name of the company with the barbed wire twisting around the text. Along with this, before a film/trailer begins, the animation for twisted pictures shows the barbed wire twisting even more around the title. This gave us inspiration for our production company animation which is why ours, for Bloodrush Productions, shows a heart pumping blood. Our animation also has the heart speeding up which has connotations of people's hearts racing when they watch horror films which is the key aim of our company.

Ghost House Pictures
Ghost House Pictures is another example of a highly successful horror production company. They are most well known for producing the Grudge trilogy which, like the Saw franchise, is seen as one of the most successful collections of horror films. In their idea they have used the idea of a skeleton behind a keyhole which gives the impression of a possessed house which is quite literally the name of their company with 'Ghost House'. This example shows again that a good design for the logo of our production company is to have exactly what the title says as our animation.
