Our Company Ident and titles

For our company ident we decided that we wanted something simplistic but effective. Our ident consists of a black box with a spotlight inside it which will be the trade mark of our company. The text is also in a simplistic font with the ‘spotlight’ text bolded because it is the most significant part of our ident. We wanted to keep it simplistic as we found that simplistic silhouette idents are more memorable than more complicated ones.

We were inspired by other idents such as those from The Weinstein Company, Touchstone Pictures and Spyglass Entertainment. These are all simplistic titles were the first word is bolded or bigger than the second. They’re all accompanied by a symbol that links to their studios in some way. For example, Spyglass Entertainment shows someone holding a spyglass. All these idents are also animated in their actual films so we will animate our ident in some way.

 

•Our film titles will be superimposed throughout our opening so that our titles are clear whilst fitting into the theme of the film. Our title will be shown on a missing poster to further link into the theme of it being a realistic missing poster.

•We have a few title font ideas that we are planning to use in our thriller. For our film title we want it to look as if the title has been written onto the screen by the stalker himself. We’ve picked out 6 fonts that fit our idea.

•Other film titles that have inspired us are Se7en, Shaun of the Dead and Lost. These titles are worn out and damaged and link closely to the themes of their films.
