These are the two shot list that we come up with before we started filming but then decided to combine both together, this worked out better since then we could mix and match different techniques which gave our sequence more edge and gave the audience a more insight on what the film would be about.
This was our first idea, before we decided to make it as we did.

Story Line
Stor y Line
KICK!
Two different groups within the same dance school have to join together to keep their school open.
One class involves ballet and the other street, both groups of people completely different; until they find out that their dance school is going bankrupt and both classes need to join together to compete in a big competition and win funds to keep their dance school up and running.
Finished Logo
Half way through the logo you shall hear the music creeping up whilst getting louder getting to the point when the lights appear thats when the music really starts, also we added a dissolve since when we first added the productions to the beginning it just seemed to go startight into the next scene so by adding the dissolve the productions still appears on the light scene but fades away discreetly making it more smooth and flow.
To give the productions a bit of an street edge to it we added a special effect 'Posterize' same as we did for our street dancing scenes, this gave a more urban feel to film.
Analysis of Logos
Research
Many filming companies within all there films always consist of there logo appearing either beginning or after there film and also on there DVD/Video cover, advertisments including flyers, billboards, news ad, Television trailers, Internet, cinemas and many more.
By doing this, it's making more publicity because us as the audience know if we like a film by a certain filming company we know were going to watch any other films done by this company, so by having a logo this would make us more aware who its done by. Most logos are big, bold, readable and sometimes do appear to have some soundtrack in the background such as Warner brothers home entertainment seem to be very verstile and link the genre of there film to there logo for expamle.
As you can see this clip shows where Warner Brother Studios is situated, they have added a gold tinge to the picture to make it look more sepia also then a wavey motion appear to make the image look glossy and mirrorie thats when we realise that the gold tinge is the Warner Brothers logo when it suddenly zooms out onto to screen whilst Bugs Bunny walks along with a carrot, this symbolises that the film may be for children of a young age since we all know that Bugs Bunny is from Looney Tunes.
Warner Brothers
The first Warner Brother logo was during 1923-1929 which was named the 'Brian shield' this consited of a black background a rather large, shaped shield, with a very wide top. The top part of the shield shows a picture of the Warner studio, the bottom having a squashed, stylized "WB". "A WARNER BROTHERS" is above the shield (with "WARNER BROTHERS" in an arc around the shield, the first Columbia logo), with "PRODUCTION" below.
Soon after that from 1929-1936 came the second logo which the words 'WARNER BROS.PICTURES INC' appear and then below that '& THE VITAPHONE CORP' appears in much smaller font, with the 'VITAPHONE' using electric style letters. Below that was a small WB shield in style of the first logo behind this was picture of a flag waving like it was in the wind.
Next, in 1936 was the 'Zooming Shield' which was a over cloud setting with a WB shield design thats zooms to the screen with the words 'WARNER BROTHERS. PICTURES, INC Presents' appearing over the shield.
Within that time they created once again a new logo in the mid 1940's this given the nickname the 'WB Shield' this was suppose to be a more realistic version with 'WARNER BROTHER. PICTURES. INC' over the shield and below presents. This logo was all displayed in a sepia colour. Music then started to appear on the logos normally the bginning of the film or a theme tune.
as the years goes by they get more and more updated as you can tell, since nowdays there logo is in colour with SFX, music etc this just shows that technology has expanded from the 1920's vigourously till now.
Logo Idea's..
After looking at different logo's by popular and successful production companies such as the Warner Brothers, above. We decided to play with different ideas such as;
This was the first idea we came up with, and we actually really liked it and decided to keep it. The idea was inspired by our characters.
