Ident

This is the ident for my film company 'Bright Films', this is the ident I'll use at the beginning of my Film opening

In tradition with most horror idents I went with a very dark background
As I am an Indie company it has very short screen time (8 seconds to be exact)
Horror use serif font and that's why I did too

Summary Because we are doing a hybrid genre of the different genres, it is harder to properly label what the conventions for are exact hybrid would look like, however we can see the conventions surrounding the individual genre's and then combine them.

What is the BBFC? The BBFC, or the British board of film classification, is the company that decides what age rating, any film or TV show, is given. Their goal is to be  ' helping children and families choose well by providing them with the guidance they need to help them choose what’s right for them and avoid what’s not.'  For more information, they talk about it on their  BBFC website  and their main staff.

An e.c.u connotes to an emotion and helps anchor the preferred reading. An example is in X men, helping to show the hate magneto has towards wolverine -C.U A close up shot, usually doesn't go below the shoulder, and doesn't go above the hair.
