Ident first and final analysis

Final ident:

1. In my opinion, the final draft of mine and Garys Ident is very identical to the original plan i had made with Gary when we first started the project. The basic idea and central plot of the ident is still featured in the finished product. The idea was to have the ident focused on a record player, with music notes spilling out from it and than form into the grid logo. In terms of the visual side of things, it's exactly how we planned the ident to look in our story boards. One of the other original ideas for the making of the ident was also to have the footage made with stop motion animation. This we also ended up using to animate everything: from the record player, the music notes and even the logo for the channel itself.
2. One of the main differences we've added, is the music choice we ended up using for the ident. Originally we were going to use some rock or metal music, in order to give the channel a energetic feeling to appeal to the younger viewers. However we ended up using some disco music that Gary found online. We have also added a voice over in the beginning of the ident.
3.  We added the voice over clip in the beginning in order to break the silence that is present during the beginning, until the music starts five seconds into the ident. We have also added the disco music in order for the ident to seem more upbeat and happy in order to catch the attention of viewers that would watching. But also the upbeat tone would suit well with the channel, given the fact that The Grid is a channel that broadcasts comedy's and music.
