Studio Idents

Idents are animations that we see that the beginning of a film, they come become the title sequence and they are the studio company logo. The big six idents that people usually recognise are:

• MGM
• Universal 
• Columbia 
• Paramount 
• Warner Brothers
• Watt Disney 

Looking at all these idents I can see that they all have something in common, that is the fact that they all have a image that represents something big and that has power. For example, MGM has a lion, which is "the king of the jungle" Universal has a picture of the world, making it seem powerful. Also the paramount ident shows a mountain, if someone can climb a mountain then they are considered a powerful person.

 From when the first idents were used in films to now they have changed and evolved, the most obvious changed would be the colour, as they used to be black and white films however now they are coloured.   

For example when looking at the universal ident, we can see the way it has changed. However one thing in the ident has stayed the same, this being the way they have kept the world in the ident. Although we can see that the animation has changed, the graphics have got better and the plane and we see in the first ident has been removed and instead we see the word universal go round the world.
