Our Production Company - Nightfall Studios

Our various discussions surrounding our production company, we decided to adopt the name 'Nightfall Studios'. We selected 'Nightfall' as it is representative of the film's thrilling and dark nature. By referring to night, this connotes darkness, and the unknown surrounding the dark. Furthermore, within our production, "Love Me", the protagonist operates largely within the dark, kidnapping his victims.

When discussing our logo, we collectively knew that we wanted it to feature a dark setting, situated at night. The street lamp slowly lights the setting, but not fully, leaving uncertainties lurking within the crevices of darkness. The logo eventually fades to black, creating an ideal beginning for our film. Overall, our logo is applicable to our thriller genre, as the logo connotes darkness alongside a gloomy undertone depicted by the street light partially illuminating the street.

In my case, the images reveal the two main characters as well as the setting. This is very similar to that of Knock Knock, another thriller movie, in which the protagonist Keanu Reeves is depicted, similarly to Henry Dalrymple in ‘Love Me’. However, my poster challenges general conventions as it lacks a motto or tag for the film. For example, Knock Knock features “One Night Can Cost You Everything” The reason for this is that I did not
