SHORT DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE COMPANY (SCREEN GEMS INC.)
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Screen Gems is an American film production company and division company of Sony Pictures Entertainment's Columbia Tristar Motion Picture Group that has served several different purposes for its parent companies over the decades since its incorporation. They have produced more than 200 films under the company 'Screen Gems Inc'. Screen Gems has the highest grossing Screen Gems film as of December 2013, is Resident Evil: Afterlife, which grossed a total of $296,221,566 worldwide. They have made films since 1999 and they are still producing more upcoming films like: The Wedding Ringer, The Perfect Guy and The Last of Us. The 'S' logo was used to show the closing credits of Monkees and The Partridge Family.
ABOUT THE LOGO ('S' LOGO)
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The scene began with two parallelograms, one near the top centre of the screen and one rising from the bottom of the screen. The top parallelogram was at a distance and moved in closer while the lower one was closer and moved away. They began to move together, growing in length. When they got close to each other the two sections wrapped around a dot, which simultaneously appeared in the centre of the screen, forming the 'S'. The 'S' logo was shown on a yellow background with the S being red sometimes, black other times. This logo was memorable even after all these years of production, I personally think that the creative mind that created this closing logo segment did an excellent job by keeping it simple and straight forward.

HOW THE FILM4 LOGO APPEARS ON TV
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
It starts in a chamber, where a bunch of lamps light on behind the screen. Then it moves across the room to see the screen in front. There are many components of the logo standing in the room (in various distances). When it complete moving, it forms a logo, as though it was flat. The logo shows a red box with FILMS carved out in bottom, and it is surrounded by other boxes so the spaces between them form a stylized letter "4".

Monarch of the Glen - Assessment
In this extract, age is represented through Amy who wants to be like an adult and work in the farm like others. We could tell that Amy is a teenager by the way she walks past the worker. She walks casually which emphasises that she is a teenager because teenagers normally do walk like that. this kind of body language was used to show that in this generation or industry, teenagers are keen to work to earn money and feel like an adult.
Another way age is shown in this extract is through the use of dress code. Amy wears colourful and fashion clothes which symbolizes that teenagers are used to colourful clothes. This technique was used to show the audiences that Amy wants the workers to feel the same.
During the scene, we notice the establishing shot which has wooden table, chairs and a bottle of whiskey. This implies that the room Amy's dad and the headmaster were in is a posh room which Amy shouldn't be entering or visiting . We could identify that the room is for adults through the whiskey bottle served by Amy's dad to the headmaster. This technique was used to show that adults and teenagers are different in this clip and the teenagers shouldn't know what's happening in the adults room.
A mid shot was used when Amy walks back to hug her mum after crashing the car. This shows that Amy is like a child as she cannot handle her own problems and that her dad has to talk and solve it. This shot was used to show Amy's facial expression when she crashed the car (4x4 Jeep) which in this case, she looks frightened and upset. This technique was used to show that age matters in this extract. The father thought she can drive the car and as a result, she crashes the car and steps back like nothing happened at all.
A pan has been used before the end when Amy puts the teddy and the dress on the bed. The teddy in the extract shows that Amy is still a child and that her parents still have to look after her. The object (teddy) was used right at the end to leave a message that Amy is a teenager who wants to be like an adult but is still a teenager.
The argument between Amy and her father shows that age matters in this extract. Amy had to look up at her dad when speaking which implies that her dad is superior nd dominant whereas, the father had to look down to show that she is a child to him. This was used to show that Amy is the child and the father is telling her what is right and what is wrong.
In this extract, Amy's accent is completely different compared to her parents. She has a Welsh accent which sounds like she is a child. When she says: "I'm sooo soorryy!", it emphasises that she is apologizing just like a child would say if they done something wrong. This shows that Amy is a teenager regretting what she has done by not taking a single exam. This was used to show how teenagers behave and act just to be seen as an adult to other people.
