Dark Castle Entertainment

The gargoyle is associated with being gothic and the motion in how this is revealed flickers black and each time more of it is revealed.

Surrounded by darkness the castle creates mystery and the lightning makes it scary

Ghost House Pictures

Skull is associated with death and ‘Ghost’ is portrayed with the skull as the opacity is low

The black background contrasts with the white font as it makes the title stand out and the black alludes to death and shows that it specialises in the Horror genre.

Vertigo Entertainment

The red, bold font stands out and is centre of the screen so that nothing is distracted away from it

The text zooms in and it becomes clearer to see as it dominates majority of the space, showing its importance

The bottom word shifts to the left. While the focus is improving and becoming clearer.

The right edge of the bottom word fades in with the colour of the background, as it is flat at the beginnning and then curves to give that metalic look as it is with the the style of the words.

When whole picture becomes lighter for a second to lighten the whole animation and add in something different (other than the movements)

• The zooming out effect is very interesting and shows clear detail at the start then it closely turns into abstract and goes into a ‘spacy’ theme but its still with the same colour but different shades.

• The words in a perfect pace that fits with the movement of the words anmd goes in the right direction for audience to to read clearly. •The font also is sharp and in capitals with the right colour to fit the background.

The image changes shape during the zooming out and so does the colour of the mountain

Title fades in and appears in the same colour as the shallow focus in the back

The spark also represents the sun and its the first thing that comes up in the intro.

Distribution Company #2: Scanbox Entertainment

• Before the effect the main word has a glowing effect while its closer to the auidence then when its futher away (after the effect) its clear and sharp.

• The production is simple because it just has a plain black backgroud and a effect.

•The font looks proffesional because its white on black and the words are straight and neat
