Comparing Two Idents

How does the ident grab the viewers attention and prevent the viewer from turning over?

This ident stops the viewers from changing over, as it has a voice over that starts almost immediately. Another point is cause this ident prevents the viewer from changing over because the congregation shows togetherness & calmness in the serenity of a warm home. Also this ident shows a point, in the thai tradition it is believed that the sky lanterns is the symbolic sign of worries and problems floating away. Also the colour match the (ITV) logo, this is seen to be colour recognition. Furthermore, the colour yellow brings, joy and triggers intelligence and organization. 

Explain who the target audience is for your channel?

This kind of ident is targetted at a older audience. This can be proven with the show that is being broadcasted. (Foyle's War) which was shown at around 9pm, and lasted 2 hours.  So because this programme is set around the night time, and is a drama i would state that the target audience set around night would be for adults.

Channel Idents

Three physical characteristics that channel idents have:

One thing that TV idents have in common is their logos which invest in their brand, just to keep people engaged to the channel. But this will definitely engage people because an ident is a strong visual representation of a channel. Also brand recognition. For example - BBC Three, BBC One, Cartoon Network

Also, idents appeal to a particular audience. BBC1, this channel appeals to anybody & everybody, reason being is because in the morning time, the news will come on appealing to adults from 06:00am to roundabout 03:00 in the afternoon. Than after that children's programmes come on, for example - (Blue Peter, Newsround, Deadly Art).

TV idents also have voice overs, these voice overs come either before the programme starts, or when the credits are being shown at the end of the show, keeping the viewers attracted from changing the channel. Channel 4, always advise the viewers to see their other channels such as - E4, Film4, 4Music. As a voice over tells them what programmes are gonna be shown on these channels. Many other channels do the same thing, such as - Cartoon Network, BBC Three, BBC Two and so on.
