Volcanic Productions
So, we now have been put into our production teams for the A2 course. These groups are exactly the same as the groups we were in for the Litter Documentary, and so the next post is introducing all of the members of my production team, however this post is all about our production team's name & the logo we are thinking about.
The name:
We chose to call our production team 'Volcanic' for many reasons. For one we wanted something better than last year where many of the production groups simply used their teams names (as I did for the AS level with the production name JARLINC) or simple things like forces - Gravity. We tried to make the name represent more of our values instead of just our names;
We felt that Volcanic served this purpose. The connection is that a volcano can take years preparing to erupt by going through a particular orderly process: if something goes wrong within this process it is unable to make a big impact/erupt: e.g if there isn't enough magma in the magma chamber or if its Dormant or extinct for example.
This is exactly like our production team. We take a while to process our ideas and getting ready to film our final product. We pay attention to every detail and everything has a set process and order to go in. In the same way that should something go wrong in a volcanoes process, if something goes wrong within our schedule etc, we are impacted immensely and it could prevent a big impact. If one or more of our team members being to slack - like a volcano being dormant - it could prolong the films production. Should one of our team members not turn up or simply do nothing at all - like a volcano being extinct - it could then halt our films production or make extra work for others.
The final connection to our production teams name is the fact that the eruption of a volcano - the final product - is a huge impact and effects those around it and so we are saying that our films have big impacts on the audience that watches it and that the final result of our process is major.
Logo:
We wanted the logo to involve a volcano's crater exploding to show off how our films give off a big impact, while at the same time the name "Volcanic" coming either out of the crater as if like smoke, or resting on the edge whilst the word "Productions" is written on the side of the crater. Here is a drawn example:
