Summary

The production company idents are normally 10-15 seconds long, they are all different in many ways but have common roots, the main purpose being to make it clear who made the film. This keeps the audience engaged and eager for the movie if the company has a good reputation and they have enjoyed previous films they have made.

 Animation was also one of the key to all their presentations as it helped grasp the audience’s attention. Music is also quite triumphant sounding and attention grabbing.
