Ident Influences/Research

Our film, despite our best efforts is not going to be similar to the like's of transformers, Batman and other big budget movies. Due to this, we will not attract companies such as 'Twentieth Century Fox' and will not want to have ident that is too glamorous and showy, like the 'Big Six'. Despite this, we still did look into some of these companies to get an idea of what we could strife for:

These are just four of the 'Big Six' and have certainly been influences when researching for our own ident. However, we want to go for a more lower budget look with our Ident. This is because we do not want to present the audience with an image of a high budget movie before they start. We are more interested in producing an ident that looks stylish but is certainly more 'low budget' than the 'Big Six'. 

Some examples of lower budget idents:

However, Charlie and I are patriotic and were extremely influenced by some of the UK top production companies ident's:

We certainly want to make our ident interesting to look at but are aware of our limits and so will go for a more low budget looking ident in order not to confuse our audience.

The final ident is similar to the style Charlie and I are interested in. Lionsgate, at the start of this video is also an extremely interesting motion ident and was another influence for us, when thinking about what to do with ours. We are also interested in how our ident moves in and out of shot and how it sounds. The reliance entertainment part of this video is similar to the kind of thing that we would like ours to sound like. It has an ominous ring to it, similar to that of alien/adventure film and I think that it would sound good with our own ident. The background sound to the DNA ident is also interesting and is similar to the style we would like.



Relativity Media's ident is almost exactly how Charlie and I would want ours to look like, in terms of the sound and the way it moves in and out of the screen. Obviously we would not want to copy the idea, but we have been interested in a more futuristic looking ident. Relativity Media, which is the first ident on this video is very good at showing you how we would like ours to move and sound when played before our opening sequence.
