During this project I had a lot of fun. Making a production logo can be challenging, you can find yourself making a mistake and not knowing how to fix it. I figured out that if you take your time to do what you want you won't mess up. My problem was I kept rushing to finish and I kept making mistakes. I really enjoy having a production logo now to use on my videos. some recommendations I have are to make something you enjoy thats possible to make, if you have this huge plan on your production logo somethings you might want you might not be able to achieve. When I was making mine I wanted something simple and I think I go what I wanted.

Production logos, I have picked 10 production logos that I like. I noticed a lot of similarities in the logos. Most of the logos have a lot of blues in the background and most use clouds or the sky in the background. Most of them use bold text so the company name is big. I like the use of the sky in the background and I like the simplistic look that the LOCO MOVIE PRODUCTION logo has. I will probably incorporate the Bold text with most likely a yellow text color as it allows the text to pop.

I thought this project was fun and I learned a lot in after effects. I definitely like using after effects to add some cool effects for my future films. some of these effects are very unique and distinct. Some recommendations I have would definitely watch the video a few times to make sure you are following along. I would also say take your time. My last recommendation is to be unique. Some things I learned along the way where effects, animations, keying and transparency, 3D integration and, titles. I liked most of them as I can use them in my films. I don't think I will use a lot of 3D integration, its just not for me. I really like titles and keying and transparency.

The role I am choosing for this project is sound design. I am choosing this as it connects to the independent study we are doing as a I chose sound design for that. I think sound design will be cool as I can choose and adjust sounds to best fit the film I have to make for the project. Now connecting sound design to the themes I chose. I chose stories and histories. I'm planning on implementing sound design by doing possibly a voice over style of sound, mixed in with some music. I think that would be the best thing to do depending on what I want to film for the project. Plus i think it would be cool to do something along the line of a voice over. For an example I could make a a historical film based on a story and i could use a voice over to describe the scene. then say i have a nature scene, I could incorporate the sounds of the outdoors to help the viewer hear what its like. now say i have a short montage of some rapid clips i could use music to play over this scene to enhance...
