15. interview and analysis

interviews

question 1: do you like the current E4 ident, and why?
question 2: what style of ident do you enjoy most?
question 3: would you expect to see the logo in the E4 ident?
question 4: how long do you expect the ident to be?
question 5: what theme would you like to be included in the ident?
question 6: what atmosphere would you like the ident to be set in?
question 7: what is you favorite tv ident and why?
question 8: would you expect to see a story in the ident?


Question 1 is asking do you like the current ident, i asked this question as if people where to say no i could evaluate the current  ident and take on board what they dislike about it and when making my ident add the improvements, i could also do the same for if they like the ident as i would add to my ident what they liked about the current ident.
Question 2 is asking what style of ident do you enjoy most, i think that this is an important question as it gives you an understanding of what style i can use in my ident for example if they liked animation the most it would be the obvious choice to do an animation ident.
Question 3 asks would you expect to see the logo in the ident i think this question enables you to know weather or not you should put the logo in and if so why depending on the results of the question.
Question 4 asks how long would you expect the ident to be this gives an idea depending on the results of how long i should make the ident, for example if they said 40 seconds i would try and make it around 40 seconds as people might get bored after that time.
Question 5 this question is asking what theme should be linked in the ident this question is very useful as if determines weather or not i should even have a theme and if so which one, for example if they where to say have a space theme i would include a space theme in my ident.
Question 6 this question is asking about the atmosphere of the ident  for example whether it should be filmed outside or in-front of white paper or if doing animation crete an atmosphere and this question determines and helps situate the ident and what atmosphere it should be filmed in.
Question 7 this question asks what your favorite tv ident is i think this question can help determine the ident as i think if for example they said i like the bbc ident i could look at the bbc ident and see what features they like and include these features in my ident as it would be the popular option.
Question 8 this ident asks would you expect to see a story in the ident this is asking if there should be a purpose to the ident for example a small story this could be shown by maybe a small man making a fire and he finally makes the fire and then the e4 logo appears, therefore interesting the viewers this would only be done if the people asking the question chose this as the most popular.

- when the lyrics become angry the emotion exceeds

mise-en-scene:
- dancing aggression and passion

- misty murky and ground of love
- felt death of love at the beginning
- torn up wedding dress, love is dead
- rule of thirds used
- she has been left and torn

camera:
- close ups for emotion
- cold filtering, to match the cold emotions
- slow tracking for ad emotion
- zooming out to see expression
- lonely shots to show she has been abandoned
- slow movement to express emotion
- emotive words are expressed

editing:
- when she mentioned her heart the jar would be shown empty to express she had he heart stolen
- editing was slow to show more emotion

- when she says 'let it burn' all the lights, light up and are bight

3. style guide

180 degrees rule, left third and cinematography


In film making, the 180-degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene. An imaginary line called the axis connects the characters and by keeping the camera on one side of this axis for every shot in the scene, the first character will always be frame right of the second character, who is then always frame left of the first. If the camera passes over the axis, it is calledjumping the line or crossing the line.


The rule of thirds is a "rule of thumb" or guideline which applies to the process of composing visual images such as designsfilmspaintings, and photographs. The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would.




Cinematography (from Greece) is the art or science of motion picture-photography. It is the technique of movie photography, including both the shooting and development of the film. Thecinematographer could also be referred to as the film director's main visual collaborator.

final logo


I have chosen this logo as my final logo, as i think it ticks most of the boxes to be a perfect logo for E4 reasons for this is that it is the shade of purple that all the other e4 logos are, this is important an as the cooperate identity theory shows, people will recognize a channel by the color of there logo therefore i used this logo for that reason, i also used a space type theme in the E this is to make the logo more vibrant and more exiting and appeal to the audience of 16 to 34 year olds, as i would hope they would not just want a plain and boring logo that they see everywhere which is too common so i thought with my logo i would make it seem more of a logo that people would look at and make them want to watch the channel, i also included the full name of e4 which is entertainment 4 so people know and understand it, i also included a rocket as a link to the space theme of the logo, I also included the 4 in a planet to make it more recognizable sticking to cooperate identity theory, this is only one logo and would not last forever as the style and theme of the logo are always changing linking to different themes. i personally think that this logo is a bit childish however i think that it is what a comedy show need, for example when a 20 year old man is watching a program on e4 it makes them feel immature and childish therefore the childish logo with the rocket and space theme , so that adults can relive there years as a child hypothetically by watching E4.
