1. Understanding the design
of a suite of television
Idents
A suite of idents is primarily a collection of many
idents all linked by the same channel. This
strategy provides aid in varying their idents
making it more interesting and eye-catching.
2. The Particular Time Of Day For Idents
In all of e4 televised idents one of the specific factors that
does vary in all of their suites is the weather, they use this
to associate the scheduling of certain types of programs
that we can therefore gather that a particular set of
shows being put on TV next will be is appropriate for the
time of day. Whether that to be in the morning evening or
night.
3. The Particular Time Of Year For Idents
Annually the TV channel E4 uses different suites
of idents to correlate with the seasonal
change during the year.
The suite of idents chosen show a period of the
season summer as it shows objects like grills
meaning barbeques or outdoor swimming
pools indicates an obsession with summer in
the idents. Whereas the ident may show a
winterized them emphasising the type of
shows that could be put on or it could simply
be an aid for people to see that their channel
is still creating new fantastic, creative ideas
whatever the season or whatever the day.
4. The channel I chose for the case study of a suite of idents is E4. E4
uses a mascot (a giant number 4 with a small E in the middle), this
mascot is seen various locations surrounding England. (E.G The
three images below) They do this to reinforce the attraction of
their target audience. In my opinion channel pushes itself towards
the youngsters to the adults of the English public. It shows this
through each location being placed in a non-abnormal setting. For
example
