4. design

5. • Which ident designs seem most relevant for your own teaser trailer? (consider the type of film
distribution companies that would be likely to distribute your film and discuss their ident designs)
• Are there any aspects of these idents that could inspire your own ident design? Explain what and why.
Yes there have been aspects of the idents that I have researched about that have inspired me and are making me
consider whether I should adopt a similar design to make my ident standout. The ident that inspired me the most
and has aspired me is the warner ident that was used in inception the design was well throughout and adds a
creative twist to the ident in the teaser trailer I have fought about adding a haunted house in the background of the
ident that I will be creating and a font that will be unique and standout the most when compared to other teaser
trailer idents.
The film distribution company that is most likely to distribute are teaser trailer could be warner or possibly
paramount the reason why they would be the most likely distributors of are teaser trailer is mainly because they
have distributed a Varity of different thrillers before therefore we are likely to match there criteria. Warner has
distributed films such as prisoners and inception paramount has distributed shutter island. The design that warner
adopted when distributing prisoners was a dark logo of warner that was grey which had a black background behind
it. Paramount have adopted a similar design to warner had decided to go with a grey logo of paramount and then
a black background. Warner also took into consideration the buildings that are used in inception this was creative
and made the design overall standout more and appear more appealing.
