Ident Ideas

 -         Cracker/snack eating idea
-         Camera is looking down on the scene
-         One single cracker
-         Crunch sound effect, part of the cracker disappears
-         Continues to show part of the Salford logo behind it
-         Finished cracker leaves behind logo with crumbs on top
-         Finished cracker alternate ending could consist of Salford title itself being eaten (similar to the Scooby doo Warner bros logo being eaten)
-         Epic soundtrack possibilities -
-         O Fortuna (soundtrack)
-         O Verona (soundtrack)
-         Or no soundtrack, only sound effects i.e. crunching, birds tweeting etc.



-         Similar ident to the X-factor Ident
-         Features characters in front of green screen
-         Characters wave their hair around – this will then be shot using a ‘time lapse/slow motion effect’ along with an ‘explosion/ray of sunlight’ beaming behind them
-         The name of the character appears on screen as they appear on the screen in time with the explosion/sunlight ray beaming down
-         Consists of ‘crowds/football crowds cheering’ as the background soundtrack
-         Possible voice-over of news broadcasts featuring talks about ‘media city/important Salford events’




-         Characters could be featured walking in front of Media city on the green screen/chroma key

-         Along with a split screen effect of a news reporter/events happening around media city and presenting a short speech
-         Featuring ‘ray of light/explosion’ in the background – using adobe after effects
-         Consists mostly of 2-3 actors/presenters turning around to face the camera in a similar style to the X-factor
-         Features the use of O Fortuna/O Verona as the background Soundtrack
-         Possible voice-over of news broadcasts featuring talks about ‘media city’
-         Feature character’s names underneath them, similar to the x-factor however feature a smaller explosion underneath the title
-         Consists of ‘crowds/football crowds cheering’ as the background soundtrack
 
 
-         Ambient Serious/Dark Fantasy football Salford Ident – features a serious looking character that appears to have his/her head tilted in a sinister way (could be smiling) and shows part of his/her body in shadow (he/she could be wearing dark clothing/hood up).
-         The character is standing alone in a deserted area, he/she reaches one hand behind his/her back and pulls out a ‘football’ (this scene is to be shown in a sinister way as if the character was about to pull out a weapon)
-         The character then slams/bounces the ball onto the ground (consists of a medium shot of the character slamming the ball to the ground)
-         The slamming is shot in ‘slow-motion’ along with a ‘ghosting effect’ to repeatedly show the motion of the swing
-         Consists of ‘extreme-close-up shots’ of the ‘characters face as he/she slams the ball to the ground’ and an extreme close-up shot of the ball hitting the ground
-         During close-up shots of the characters face, could be shot against green screen and feature a clip of a ‘full moon’ in the background
-         Consists of an ‘explosion’ as the ball hits the ground in slow motion
-         Combined with a large explosion ‘sound effect’ and ‘choir soundtrack i.e. O Fortuna, O Verona, Death Note soundtrack’ playing throughout the ident etc.
-         Camera is then placed in a higher position looking down on the ball as the ball bounces upwards in slow motion (still keeping the character in shot)
-         As the explosion/impact of the ball has hit the ground the ‘letters begin to appear’ for example after two/three more slams of the ball to the ground – the word ‘Salford’ appears on the ground in a ‘hellish/impact form’.
-         Adobe after effects ‘ghost text’ appears above the word ‘Salford’ and says ‘the only way is’ in combination with a ‘wind howling sound’.
-         Features ambient space/mysterious sounds
