After Effects

For the start of our thriller trailer we decided to create a production logo using the software After Effects. We decided to call it 'Fog Productions' as it gives a sense of eeriness so indicates o the audience that our film is of a thriller or horror genre.

However once we finished our the short clip would not export all the layers into Premier Pro. Therefore the background we created in After Effects cannot be seen. So in our final draft of our trailer only the word in the logo will be visible as there is no background. 

This is what our production logo should've looked liked:
