2. Whatisanident?
An ident is used before the
beginning of a film/television
show, the reason for this is to
show the audience the company
involved in the production of the
film. It is a short sequence shown
before the film, which usually ends
in showing the logo of the
production company. It is what the
audience uses to identify the
production company, for example we
know the company by the sequence,
like if we see the Earth, we know
it will be Universal Studios, or if
we hear the 20th Century Fox theme
tune we know it is them.
3. TheVisit-UniversalStudios
The Visit is similar to
our film idea, because it
starts out as normal film
and then we see many
strange occurrences happen
within a normal family. as
what happens to Luke and
his sister in our film
Deceit.
4. The trailer shows that The
Visit was produced by
Universal Studios, from 0.05
and lasts for 4 seconds before
the trailer starts. As
Universal Studios is one of
the Big Six production
companies, it means that on
top of the film's $5 million
budget, it was very well
promoted and distributed,
through the many contacts that
Universal have.
5. Insidious-Filmdistrict
Insidious like The Visit
is also very similar to
our teaser idea, as it
also starts with a normal
family living a normal
life, and then all of a
sudden everything changed,
when strange occurrences
take place, and their
lives are at risk.
6. However unlike The Visit, the film
Insidious was produced by a much more
less well know production company, as
seen at 0.04, on the screen for only
2 seconds. We can see it was produced
by FilmDistrict, an independent
company that specialises in
acquisitions, distribution and
production. Insidious was the first
film produced by FlmDistrict, and so
would not have had as big a budget,
at ⅕ of a budget of The Visit, and
they wouldn't have had as many
contacts as Universal.
