Assignment Brief 1: Task 4

For this post I will be choosing and writing, I must also investigate other idents to find similarities between them so I can help it when it comes to making my future ident. The TV channel I will be making the Ident for is 4Kids which is a new channel so I will be making the Idents for.

First of all I shall be choosing five idents and talking about all there similarities and differences.

The first Ident I have got is Cbeebies ident from 2008.
What happens in the this Ident is that 2 blobs dancing about rather fast and quickly, while this is happening they are playing music as well and the tempo are all going quite fast. When it comes with the design of the ident it is all rather bright colours through out the whole ident. This is all when it comes to appealing to the target audience because there target is for children and it childish theme is good for them. The only thing about about this Ident is that it doesn't give any information expect the channels name, but this is acceptable from a children's channel  because they don't really pay attention to the information that is shown. The impression given from this ident is that it just childish channel for children which it is also mainly for younger children.

This Ident is from the channel Nickelodeon from 2008. What happens is that all the characters from the programmes jumping around and as well as that so are the letters of the logo are jumping around the screen like kids programmes characters are. The music that is playing is suited to the style of young children and matches the ident. When it comes to the length of the ident is for 30 seconds long, so the ident is an average length. Other then characters jumping around the ident this ident is rather simple it just has the logo on the back with all just a plain white background. This ident is good for children because it show there most favourite characters and the background is really simple so they can just concentrate on there favourite characters and the channel. This ident seems to target not younger children but the older one from 7-10 with there favourite.



This ident is from the TV channel CITV from 2006. Whats happens in this TV ident is the channel's logo sits in the middle of the screen then it is stretched a bit for a second then its let go and pings back into shape. While its all on a red background. The music playing isn't anything expect the sound of something being stretched and pinged back it to place. This ident doesn't really aim for certain age group of children so it makes it easier to use before certain TV programmes.



This ident is used by the Disney channel and what happens in it is the Jonas brothers have can blue can of paint and then use it to paint the disney logo on the floor in blue. The music that seems to playing is one of the Jonas's brothers songs so its fit with them being there in the Ident. With this ident it seems to target the older age of children from the ages of 9-12.



In this ident it has all these animated words dancing around the screen and with childrens favourite characters talking about the letters and pointing them out. There is children music playing as well so it seems more like for younger children. For this Ident is aimed for much younger children from ages of 2-6 with its bright colours and bubbly.

With all these idents they all aim for children because children are there main audiences for these idents.  The key conventions of these idents is that they are all mostly animations expect one and another conventions is that music is playing in nearly every single one there is music in all the idents playing, what I might apply in my TV ident is animation along with children music.
