The boxed out letters symbolize being trapped and newspaper clippings traditionally associated with ransom notes again fitting in with the genre. Also the writing is in red to suggests horror and blood as this is a stereotypical colour which is used often. This production logo also suits films that have been funded by the BBC like ‘Shifty’ because the storyline is similar and the logo represents fear as it flashes up with a scream effect presenting continuity and makes the audience engaged.
