Production: Ident

After researching different film openings, we decided the best option for us to make our opening as professional as possible is to create our own ident from scratch. To do this we used PowerPoint and iMovie.

To do this we used the image, text and colour options in PowerPoint to create an image/logo we liked. In the end we came up with this:

We used a black background to symbolise danger, death and loss of identity. We used red imagery and text to symbolise danger, blood and death. These two colours make the audience immediately aware of the genre of the film. We kept the imagery simple.
We then added this image into iMovie. We selected an option that animates the image slightly. Initially it starts off just an image of the house and eventually zooms out the reveal the whole logo. We thought this slight animation made it look much more professional. To add the sound effect we downloaded a sound clip from a copyright free website and took a section to fit the Ident. The slow hum of the sound, dramatises the ident preparing the audience for the start of the film.
