channel idents

channel 4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CVdllN67OQ

channel four idents are always very creative. they are all very different from each other but also similar. they all have the same style of the four coming together made up of different shapes or the camera panning across showing a random shapes coming together from another perspective in the shape of a four. they are all very different from each other has they have very different themes. one will be significantly older people playing crochet, another will be a bust New York road, or a country lane and sci - fi themes. Because of the ident theme all being so different it has a wider audience watching showing that there channel caters to lots of different people.

BBC 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2QN8ff-a9o

the most common BBC 1 ident is probably the circle round the name BBC. the ident shows normal people cycling in different colored rain coats to make a circle round the name. this ident shows how BBC is for the average middle age person who doesn't want anything to action packed but something after a day of work. the circle could show people coming together because of BBC. BBC 1 had an ident refresh. there refresh still has the theme of unity and togetherness running throughout but now has a group of middle age to elderly people dancing together having fun showing that BBC brings people together to have fun.


E4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeJp-KHFP0Q

E4 idents are always very strange, random and quirky. quit often the idents shows e4 taking over everything else like cover it in purple goo like it is engulfing everything else. i think it shows that the channel is for young adults with its bright purple and the upbeat music. the idents take you by surprise as you weren't expecting something so random and in a way have a comical effect.

Dave's ident is based on middle aged men. the idents shows things that men typically like to do like drinking beer and playing golf. The voice in the ident is a very confident mans voice showing it is a channel for a man and will have shows like top gear on it.
