Film Ident

Here I will watch serveral idents to explain the reasons behind them and then at the end of this post I will show the ident used in my groups trailer 'THE DARKNESS'.

This is the paramount ident, this one was made in 1995 and was featured on the begining of their movies for 4 years, the ident ties in with the mountian because para'mount' and the mountian, people will make the connection with this and understand what it means and why it has been done. The flying stars show that they have thought about what they are doing on the ident and wanted to make it magical and also serious at the same time. Paramount pictures dont make to many horror films but if they did they would adjust the ident to film the genre of the film as they do for each film that they produce.

This is the ident for Walt Disney pictures, this is a very famous ident as people know what type of film it is going to be as it doesnt have dark and mysterious music in the background and dark images it has music that sounds like magic and a picture of the castle which allows you to know the films is ok for children and can be trusted by the company to produce something real even if it is an animation. The trailer starts by starting looking at the stars which in its self is magical, they have thought well about this because it isnt to long and isnt to short as it doesnt rush through it even though people know what company it is and they know that it will be a brilliant and trusted film.

This is the ident for Columbia pictures that is a well known production company that can be recognised by people just hearing the music that is played every time it comes on at the being of the film, the ident is classy and doesn't ever need to be changed to fit the next generation as everyone know what the company is and what they do also they types of films that they produce. The indent is very colourful and bright and usually doesn't come up at the beginnings of horror films, bit it could do if they changed the the music and made it a little darker to fit the scene.

This is the ident that me and my group decided to use on our film, we felt that it can be used for any film that it is put in front over as it has magic and also a sense of mystery. This ident is very well known as it is put on a lot of well known films that people are familiar with. It has mystery and sparkle in it that leave the audience wondering it is a horror or isnt it.
