Bloodbath Productions- Our First Attempt
We attempted to make our own production company. Usually production companies are associated with the genre of the film. As we're doing horror we wanted to make the production company seem like it has a link to horror. We used a raindrop motion background (making it red to look like blood) then put effects such as rain on top of it to create a kind of rain puddle. We decided to name it bloodbath productions because it directly links to horror. We tried to make it professional by using some special effects, but not making it look as if too much is going on as it would look messy. By leaving it with only a few effects it kept it looking smart.
