Reverse Pictures Ident

The first try for my groups production name and ident, I'm debating whether or not to change the music i have put onto it however, i might make several different ident versions with different music on and ask my peers which one they prefer. I feel like my Ident has a MTV vibe but i tried to link it into our name but rewinding the clip so that the astronaut is jumping backwards.

Ident Ideas

Firstly, I came up with some possible production names by using some internet generators, some i came up with by myself. I then made sure that none were already exsisting production companies, which none were. I then picked the two I liked the most and felt i could create a good ident with and sketched out a logo and developed it.
The next stage is to complete the moving Ident that we will use at the start of our production.

13th November 2015

We have created several targets to have a rough idea for our production plus an Ident for the end of next week. But also to start and complete some technical research.

Influential Figures

For our production we are doing it within the Action/Adventure genre so I research three directors/Producers who have created some very successful films within that genre but all have something different about them.

Form Research

Form research is the research of what elements are usually featured in an action/adventure film opening.

Flashbacks
A scene where the narrative goes back in time for a couple of minutes and usually to a key event that links back to something further on into the film. It can also set the mood for the rest of the film.
Planning of landscape/establishing shot
This is used to set the scene and inform the audience where and what time the film is being set.
Narrations
An easy and effective way of getting the audience involved in the narrative straight away. The technique is used to give background information on what is happening or who the characters are , giving the audience an insight so the rest of the film makes sense.
Editing
Action scene a fast paced opening to a film attracts the audience straight away and will make them want to carry on watching. As well it automatically shows the genre of the film if included in the opening.
The Chase 
Chase scene Similar to the action scene, also catches the audiences attention. It involves them as they will want to see what happens after the chase.
Production/Distrobuter logos
Production Logos At the start of most films they will always show the production/distribution logos. If the film has a high budget the logo will be adapted to reflect the genre and story line of the film.
Animation
Animation to portray the beginning of the film in a creative way and visibly show the difference between the film itself and the opening sequence. (e.g. Juno.)
Compliations/Montages
Compilation/montage of photographs or clips, for example, Blue Valentine which is a romantic film, shows photographs to portray to the audience the theme and the relationship between the couple.
Narrative
Narrative content this includes the context (where/when/who). As well the pace of the narrative increases as level of engagement increases.
Soundtrack
Soundtrack this is the use of tone, volume, and tempo, which will generically start quiet and slow-paced.

However, I noticed that some directors prefer to have an unconventional opening to portray a sense of mystery or giving the film an artistic edge. E.g. Lack of credits, Lack of establishing shot, Main characters are not introduced.
