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.

Film name
After thinking of our film institute name it was time to look into original film names. This posed as a hard task to carry out because of the diversity of action film names already having been used, we couldn't just pick a random aspect of action films and use it as a name. But just in case that worked we brainstormed ideas:
• Head to Head
• Bullet time
• Lost in identity
• Derailed
• Right to kill
• Ghost instinct
• Firing line
Unfortunately these names were either cheesy or had been used before. So to get past this we looked into our film story and the basic story of the opening sequence, we knew the strongest piece of narrative was the corrupt boss being framed so we looked into other ways of framing someone and changing the words around to create a new name with action packed connotations.
• Body trap
• The framed
• The set up
• Tricked
• Enticed
Being realistic with our names we singled out: The set up and Tricked, because of strong means they had behind them and the obvious action related aspects. Also out of all names the set up seemed to be the closest to the story line and would give the mysterious presence we needed without detracting from the story too much. Overall we chose 'The Set Up' for its quick and punchy words which seemed to simple but gave us and our peers so many ideas of what it could mean or where the story could go.

Film corporation name
At this stage in filming and planning we had to think of a film corporation name which would reflect our type of filming and the genre of film so that the feel and setting of the film would be described before it even started playing.
We first started to think of ideas for names by using inspiration from other names of film corporations, we looked into he type of name to the type of filming they normally do. Strong examples were Universal Studios who will films almost anything, Focus who concentrate mainly on dramas and unusual films, Marvel studios who concentrate of film depictions of comic books. This gave us ideas such as:
• Adrenaline
• The Extreme
• Disaster
• Urban films
• Blooded
We thought that overall the best name that described us was the Urban films, but this was lacking any real description of our genre so we then started to develop it further.
• Urban Shot
• Extreme Urban
• Urban blood
• Urban Action
Of all these names the final one: Urban Action, was the best in terms of look, style and description. This name combined with a sleek and sophisticated ident logo would look mysterious but give a strong professional presence, an ideal combination for any film production company but mainly for our serious and realistic filming.
