Conventions of an Ident LO2 (P2)

Conventions of an Ident LO2 (P2) 

An ident is useful since it'll represent what the channel is all about and the programmes that will come on after the ident is shown. When looking at an ident the main thing I believe that needs to be shown is the name of the channel. For the ident I have chosen which is Tiny Pop their idents have at the end the name of the channel (the logo). By doing this the audience will be able to put two and two together and make a connection through the ident and the channel. 

The ident also may include music in the background. The type of music being played could display what type of programmes are shown. The music could be slow paced, fast, upbeat and much more.The ident could also be a taster on what the programme will be like next since idents show various of different clues on what the next programme will be about like I've mentioned before. 

Another convention about idents is the way they're shown. For an example the Tiny Pop ident is shown throughout breaks. This gives time for the audience to process what type of show is going to be shown next. Making them pick if they should stay around for the next show or not. When looking at the Tiny Pop ident its fun, creative and entertaining. We can see that this suits the channel, since it fits the range of the target audience as well. Another thing about Idents they have to suit the target audience otherwise people won't stay to watch the channel. The Tiny Pop ident is colourful which catches the attention of the target audience of ages 7 and below. This means that the Tiny Pop ident needs to be eye-catching to the eyes of the target audience and has to be relatable to the programmes that is shown on the channel.
