Thomas is preparing for a horror movie podcast. He outlines the colors, fonts, and creepy image that will be used for the logo to match the horror theme. Thomas then shares a draft logo design using a spooky forest background and zombie hand. The podcast will run 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, including introductions, a movie review, quiz, ratings, and teaser for a future episode. Software like Photoshop and Premiere Pro along with resources like a studio, microphones, and camera will be needed. Potential issues and solutions are considered around equipment, health, and scheduling.

2. Style sheet
We’ll be using the colours black, grey red and white in the logo as well as the podcast video.
In the video we’ll be using these colours if we cut to clips from the movie and also the studio
we are recording in has a black screen so if the camera cuts to us it’ll be dark.
I’ll use these fonts or
fonts similar on my logo
as they’re scary so they fit
in to the podcasts overall
theme.
I’ll use an image like
this on my logo. The
reason I used an
image like this for my
logo is because its
creepy and
unnerving so it fits in
with the horror
theme.

3. Layout 1
In my potential logo I used a
similar font to the one I used in
the style sheet. I chose the font
due to the fact that its creepy and
therefore fits in with the theme of
the podcast. I used a spooky
forest as the background of my
logo as a tribute to the setting
that a lot of horror movies take
place: The Evil Dead, The Cabin in
the Woods etc. Finally, the last
thing I used was a zombified hand
because I thought the poster was
missing something and because it
fit in with the genre we are talking
about on the podcast.

4. Story Boards / Timeline
The podcast will be 30 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The introduction will last 5 minutes with one introduction each.
We’ll give a 1 minute spoiler warning.
The actual review of the movie will roughly last 30 minutes to 45
minutes.
After the actual review we’ll do a quiz Mo vs Tom for 15 minutes.
For 10 minutes we’ll do a rating/review/our opinions for 10
minutes.
Before the outro we’ll tease a possible second episode for 5
minutes.
Finally we will do an outro that’ll at most last 5 minutes.
