Studio Idents

In class we have studied Studio Idents. Studio Idents are the first things that you see before you start actually watching the film. With Studio idents we are able to identify the production company involved in the making and funding of the film.

Some of these are:

Paramount pictures

Originally the logo had 24 stars. This was done as a tribute to the actors that were popular at that time - this is because paramount had 24 actors signed to them at this time. The loo was simplified in 1974. The Ident now has 22 stars. This version is still used till this day. 










Columbia Pictures

The logo for Columbia pictures was creatd in 1992. The logo was repainted digitally by Michael Deas. He was hired to return the lady back to her classic look. the animation of the ident was created my Syntespian Studios. it starts of with a bright light, It then zooms out to show the torch and zooms out further to show the woman holding the torch.

Warner Bros. Pictures

The Warner Bros Ident is written on a shied with the initials WB inside. Across it, it has Warner Bros Television written in a banner. In the animation we see the logo ripple and we see the reflection of houses and factories inside it. This happens before we are introduced to the theme tune and the logo.



Universal 

The Universal Ident has a picture of the Earth on a dark starry background. The title Universal then come across it as the Earth is spinning on its axis. At the same time there is a glow light coming from behind the Earth.


20th Century Fox

The 20th Century Fox Ident is mainly recognised by the sound of the drums and the trumpet as this is the first thing we see. It is ten followed by the 20th Century Fox logo which is written in gold. As this is happening, we are taken from behind the logo to the front of it.






Walt Disney

In the Walt Disney Ident, we see a blue, starry and cloudy sky. As we are taken downwards, we see a river which is beneath the castle. When this happens we see fireworks coming from around the castle. As we zoom out, we see the word Walt Disney Pictures written across the screen 



In consideration of all these idents, my partner (Nnenna and I) have come up with ideas for our own Ident that would be appropriate for our thriller opening sequence.
