Film ident animation
To make the ident more interesting our practical teacher Miss Frearson suggested we create an animation with the logo. As the vocal point to our ident is the blood splatter Miss Frearson saw this and capitalized on it by suggesting we animate the blood by making it appear after the audience sees the logo. With this in mind Ollie then thought of quickly doing this on photoshop by saving the logo as a JPEG on photoshop, then erasing part of the blood splatter, then saving it as a JPEG again until all the blood had been removed. This would then give us the foundations to our animation.
But to quickly animate the ident i decided it was best to import the pictures into imovie which automatically converts the pictures into 10 second clips allowing us to edit the picture as if they were filmed camera shots. We firstly cut all clips to a second so they could be easily managed and set out on experimenting with different times for different blood splotches so the blood would appear to be dropping naturally.
Finally after getting the best balance of times we added a final music track to add to the unusual logo. The music was from imovie and called suspense so naturally it provided the thrilling edge the ident needed. all this combined meant the animation was original, inventive and very fitting for the final draft.
These were the pictures in order:

Film corporation Ident
With our final film company name we started to think of ideas for portraying it and the essence of the filming effectively. As always we looked into existing products and examples for inspiration and what seemed to be common in all film production names was the use of a picture and lines to break up the name. But before we even started on this we looked into graphical fonts which would be the foundation to the rest of the ident, to do this we used good ol' myfonts.com which had thousands of different fonts and allowed us to search for our most ideal one. We typed in film first and got a whole range of cheesy fonts so we revised our search to Gritty and street which gave us loads more fonts connecting to the film corporation name, of all fonts the best one was called streetbrush.
But to follow the trait of the other film company idents we needed to find some pictures that related to the genre of film, to do this we looked into some free copyright picture sites to find the one that had the biggest range and the most professional look. This led us to freedigitalphotos.net. Within the site we searched action and other classic genre traits but we found the most shocking search to be Blood which turned out around 20 results of high quality pictures using fake blood in creative ways:
After playing with the pictures in Photoshop elements 5 we found that the best one to use in the final ident was a blood platter from the third picture, this has accurate spread of blood and covered most of the logo.
We then applied this to the classic set up of idents with a surprisingly dull outcome:
After making this first logo we started to realise the flaw in the design-the font was too dark and the blood was a poor quality cut. We then revised the whole method of cutting and set out to make the final logo with no lines and better quality mix of colours and pixilation.
