Production/ Distribution Companies

I originally wrote the names of production and distribution companies in my trailer. [right]

 I then went onto research more into how trailers presented their production and distribution companies, and found all the romantic comedies I looked at; used the logo of the companies to represent them in trailers, rather than just stating the name. Below are the most common production and distribution companies; and when the companies were shown in the trailer:

From this you can see, the logos are most often shown as the opening title or straight after a shot establishing shot (6 films); or after the lead male has been introduced (2 films)

There were also 3 films where the only reference to the production and distribution companies were the end screens, which none of the other trailers had.

This may be because in the case of It's a BoyGirl thing (2006, dir. Nick Hurran) (bottom image) there is five production companies, and therefore may not fit to show all the logos of these.

In the case of The Rebound (2009, dir. Bart Freundlich), the production and distribution companies used are not very heard of and therefore may affect peoples initial judgement of the film.

From this research I have decided to make my own production and distribution company logos. The convention of these (at least in the major romantic comedy ones, above) is a grand photo, simply with the text displaced over it, with a connection between the title and image.  I will therefore, use an original photo of mine and create logos for my film.
