Soundtrack

I personally think something along these lines would be appropriate- simple piano music, without accompaniment. This piece was composed for the popular game The Legend Of Zelda, which I first heard when a friend of mine played it as part of her piano exam. As for our film, I think that this piece is too cheerful for the mood that we are attempting to create.

These last two pieces are from the same Russian composer, Modest Petrovich Mussorgski. The first piece is called Bilder Einer Ausstellung ( Originally Russian:Kartinki s wystawki – wospominanije o Wiktore Gartmane) or Pictures At An Exhibition. It is divided into different pieces, each with a name. The section that I listened to is called Der Gnom and is very dramatic. However, I think that it is too fast and the short pauses in between would not work with our film. Night On Bald Mountain is also extraordinarily dramatic. In fact, I think it may be too dramatic for our film, as


This piece was composed by a friend of mine, A. Thomas for her music GCSE last year. I thought it was brilliant (as did her teachers) and should be used for a film. Brilliant as the music may be, it did not fit with the film's atmosphere we had in mind. It was a little too slow and thoughtful. Please excuse the quality of the sound- it was recorded on an iPhone and then transferred on to the Mac.

Nosferatu Productions

This was my first idea: Scream In Your Dream Productions. However, after having researched production companies, I noticed that most of them had short names, usually one or two words. Also, my idea looked more like a poster than an actual logo.

This was our final idea. I chose the name 'Purgatory Productions' due to its alliteration and its connotations. I had read Dante's The Divine Comedy a few years ago and had always been interested in his idea of hell, as well as those of the Renaissance painter Hieronymus Bosch, as seen in the right panel of The Garden Of Earthly Delights. 
As a group, we decided to choose this design because we thought it reflected the horror genre. The colours, red and black, compliment each other through the contrast of light and dark, and the font gives the impression the the words were scrawled in blood. The picture depicts, by Dante's description one Satan's mouths, eternally chewing on the souls of Brutus, Cassius and Judas, drawn by Gustav Dore. Satan is described in The Divine Comedy has having three heads and under each chin are pairs of bat-like wings. As he beats his wings, he creates a cold wind  freezes the ice surrounding him and the other sinners within the Ninth Circle. These winds he creates are felt throughout all the other circles of Hell. Satan also does not have the ability of speech.
This design will appeal to the target audience due to their enjoyment of scary films. Furthermore, as our target audience are students, they would most likely appreciate the connotations of the title.
