The image below is the Warner Bros. Company Logo is always presented in nearly
every movie to distribute and represent that they’re the company that has published
the movie before you. The logo of this image is normally presented before the
opening of the film or after.
The image above is bright and appealing to any audience that may watch the film
and if the film isn’t a franchise or very popular this will probably be the image
because it’s the main logo whereas the image below is from Harry Potter, how would
I have known this? The background is sinister and very similar to the art style of
Harry Potter. The reason why Warner Bros probably presented the movie opening
this way is because Harry Potter is a very famous film franchise that has been
distributed throughout the world and more spectacular to the hard-core fans of this
movie franchise.

house, it’s seldom you actually assume regarding where the film was generated as
well as just how each film business protected the civil liberties to the movie you’re
seeing on the display. The six major film firms reviewed listed below consist of 90%
