This logo trys to enforce that reel farms main priority is the making and production of films. The clever design of the logo enforces this idea, the film reel as the wheels of the tractor shows how that making films is the companies main drive also having the film reel as the wheels shows making films keeps the company moving forward its the main driving force of moving Reel farm forward. The old film tear filter over the top of the logo shows the idea of Reel farm being reliable. The idea that they have been making films for so long, associates them with being quality as they've been doing this for so long so they have to make good films. The tractor may also represent the idea that films are fresh just like the tractor collects fresh veg and
fruit of a farm.

Spyglasses logo creates the sense that there films will take you on and adventures and allow you to go places that only they could take you on. The idea of the spyglass, is that watching one of our films is like looking through a spyglass that allows you to go to all these different places. The word entertainment is in capital letters, this shows that entertaining people with there movies is a main priority also the single silhouette of the man standing by the ocean shows that maybe SpyGlass films are soothing or that watching our films is as soothing as standing on a beach listening to the ocean crash against the shore. the silhouette of the man also creates a sense of individuality and there films stand out agianst the others.

Paramounts logo shows the companies ambition and drive through a number of ways. The mountain in the middle of shot is showing how they're the centre of attention, how they tower above all other film compaines, its almost like other film companies are in paramounts shadow because are so big and well know, that when you think of film companies, you think of paramount. The stars aronud the top of the mountain symbolise how paramount are reaching for the top or how they already have reached the top and the stars are some kind of tropy thats being dispalyed. Another point is that the stars are represented as a sign of quailty, that paramount have quality films therefore they are worthy of being put with the stars.
















dream works logo is showing the companys imagination and there abilty to make your imagination a reality, the boy sitting on the moon with a fishing rod represents this. It may also show they idea of making dreams coming true, with the stereotypical idea of little boys wanting to go to space and dreamworks have made this possible, and hes now fishing on the moon. the boy fishing shows how dreamworks like to keep there ideas fresh, just as little boy pulls the fish straight out of the water, dream works have fresh and innovate ideas.

My logo for silver linings is based on the idea that every 'cloud has a silver line', i wanted to appeal to the child in every body with the cartoon stlye picture and font, this a major contrast as i would like to make a thriller, serous drama, the lightning bolt is a representation of this. as lightning is seen as powerful and intimaditing which relates to the type of film i would make.

The original cast of misfits

 Review of the first season of misfits.

Misfits is a British science fiction comedy-drama television show, on E4, about a group of young offenders sentenced to work in a community service program, where they obtain supernatural powers after a strange electrical storm. The show follows them as they discover there new powers and are faced with new problems to overcome, whilst dealing with there powers.


An online review by The Guardian's Richard Vine said that it was "confident enough to operate in its own universe and set up something new" and that it was aimed at slowly presenting us the "real people" behind a seemingly "tabloid stereotype" of the "ASBO teenager", That's why i believe that misfits would appeal to the younger generation, not only does it include violence, sex and some elements of dark comedy(things younger people tend to be interested in) but it allows younger people to relate to it. The stereotype ASBO teenager is presented through the group of misfits however the group all have different problems, allowing a wider range of people to be able to relate to the show. Its also the idea of having these powers and trying to 'fit in' and deal with their problems, the title of the show misfits emphasises this. This would definitely different appeal to the younger generation, however it may appeal to adults who lived in a deprived area, like the estate shown on the show. this is because the shows creates this stereotypical view of estate life.
