Idents

As well as soundtrack, film trailers today use idents to symbolize which production house has commissioned the creation of the film/film trailer. Over the years, the idents have became recognizable almost instantaneous from either the previous films that have been released under that company, or the unique logo that is possesses.

Because of this, we had to discuss what type of Ident we would want to implement within our trailer. From this I gathered 3 options which where available for us to use in the creation of our trailer:

Lions Gate Studios: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-pZXPzcNf8
Warner Brothers Studios: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW3zcF_CQ6w

The first option here is a horror version of Lions Gate Studios which produces a lot of horror movies. This horror-movie 'themed' ident is used to keep the atmosphere of the trailer and not spoil it.

Our second option is the well-established Warner Brothers Studios. Here this Ident is one of the most instantly recognizable one throughout the whole of the film industry. Sadly though, I do not believe this will fit into our film trailer as this does not suit the horror theme that our trailer portrays.

In conclusion, we believe that we shall chose our first option (Lions Gate) as our Ident to be used in our trailer. This is because it is the most fitting of the trailer and accompanies the horror theme which is ongoing throughout our trailer.
