This is our distribution company that we made as group for our trailer. In order to make this we used an overlay from YouTube and a spinning world to indicate that the Distribution Company is international and its available for anyone across the world. Another reason as to why we've chosen this is because in a lot of other Distribution company that we saw they all has wither global themes or sky films to show freedom and hopefulness, which is what we have also tried to achieve. However, we are not going to use this on our actual trailer because we fell it will be more professional and fits in better if we used an existing Distribution companies logo in oder to make it look more realistic.
