Creating Our Own Production Company - Dark Night

We needed to create our own production company for our film, this included a name and logo to put at the start of the film.
We wanted the name to be related to film noir so it looked liked this was the type of film that this production company would make. We had a few ideas but in the end we settled for 'Dark Night Productions'. To get this name we used things we had seen in other film noir films as inspiration, this way we knew it could be easily linked with film noir. For example in the film LA Confidential the coffee shop at which the murders take place is called the 'Nite Owl'.

















This name has connotations of film noir as a convention of film noir is the night time and shadowy and dark lighting which the 'Nite' word covers. Therefore we also decided to use this word somewhere in our production company but we spelt it the correct way as you can make a more obvious link to film noir.
The other part of our name is also obvious, 'Dark'. It links to film noir in the same way as the other word does with the dark and shadowy lighting. Dark can also suggest evil, gloom and villains.
