Creating a Production Logo
For the start of my film, I wanted to include a fake production company logo to add to its authenticity. I decided on using the name Araliya Productions because the Araliya is a well-known flower in Sri Lanka which would help to indicate the setting of where this film is located, as well as because Araliya is a very nice sounding name.
I used a combination of software to create the animated logo; Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Photoshop. Firstly, I created a png version of the logo on Adobe Photoshop using a free downloaded image of a flower silhouette and some shapes, text and adjustment layers.
Once I had created the logos I used masking in Premiere Pro to animate the logo. This type of masking had to be done keyframe by keyframe and it took quite some time to finish the logo but I was very happy with the results.
