Deconstruction of Production Companies - Twisted Pictures

Twisted Pictures is an American independent production company, mainly creating films of the horror genre. It was founded in 2004 by Evolution Entertainment's Mark Burg, Oren Koules and Gregg Hoffman. Their most famous films include the Saw series.
In June 2007, the company joined with RKO Pictures to remake four films out of the RKO library - including Five Come Back (1939) and Bedlam (1946).

The ident begins with the typography of 'Twisted Pictures', all in lower case in the centre of the screen. It is a light grey steel colour with a gradient to black on the lower half of each letter.  The steel colour may be in context of the Saw films, which they are most well known for. It is a sans serif font. The pitch black background relates to the darkness of the genre itself.

The animation of the barbed wire suggests the idea of being trapped with no escape, again highlighting the genre of films which the company produces. A large dagger then falls from above and lands between the two words. This suggests violence and pain.

The dagger then turns and wraps the barbed wire around itself, almost suffocating the words, which suggests that the torture it out of its control. 

The screen then flashes to a light grey/blue colour, suggesting it to be thunder, and then the title is released from the barbed wire. Throughout the ident, the sounds are very metallic, which match the visuals. The harsh sounds also represent the genre of the production company, with violent scenes and connotations of pain.
