BBC Oneness - idents and presentation

Dunno why that logo even needs to be there, as there's another copy of it, without that blank space, at the bottom.

Not to mention a case sensitive URL in upper case

Indeed:

Thats the second Bowling sting just been used. 15.27

God, these are so predictable aren't they. How about shooting from a high or low angle? Just inject something into the shoot to give it some interest. This is just such drab rubbish.

Focusing, again, is a little suspect, for me.

At least have some fun with it. Even if the concept was irrecoverably bad (which it isn't), there'd still be no reason to bore everyone to death. Embrace it, get inspired...

So if the point of these idents is people gathering together for a group photo, bowling is ridiculous. You would always take the reverse of that angle looking into the lanes just for practicality reasons.

They need a flash effect and camera shutter sound to make the concept more obvious.

I always thought the concept was obvious, it's just not that interesting.

Interesting to hear Duncan introducing himself on the ident into The Farmers' Country Showdown just now.

Sorry, what's interesting? He often likes to, as does Al Dupres on Wales.

Because they usually don't do that on Network, especially the start of peak. TLC a few years back had an announcer who introduced themselves at the start of primetime.

That's not accurate. Duncan does it now and then on Network, just not usually that time of day.
