LO2 - History of my chosen channel and it's ident (P2)

I have decided to choose BBC One to recreate the ident. 

BBC One History.

This channel was launched on 2nd November 1936. However, the channel was not originally called BBC One. It was called BBC Television Service. Over time it was given multiple names such as BBC TV and BBC Channel. Then the channel was called BBC One as it is the main channel for BBC. BBC One was the world's first regular television service that provided a high level of image resolution. 

Below has the idents from 1936 to 2023.

From watching the first ident that was created in 1936, we can see that BBC One has said how they do not recommend the programme to certain age groups or people with disabilities. Here we can see that BBC One had thought very carefully on its audience. Within this ident the logo of the channel was different as well as they style. This shows that technology was not as developed at the time, but it still appealed to the audience. 

Skipping into the video further at 01:20 the ident has improved significantly. This is because the ident has got colour which attracts the audience. In the ident it started to show and state what is appearing on next on the channel. Furthermore, within this ident we can see that there is more happening in relating to the images. For example, the Earth moving around. This shows the audience is more diverse and how the channel has grown.

Now moving on to present day, in the video 03:40 we can see that the quality of the ident has improved significantly from 1936. This is because the camera quality is better, the graphics have improved and also the audio is a lot clearer. This shows that BBC One has improved its overall image and has gained a massive audience.

One similarity that BBC One has is that the logo has not changed. This means that BBC One has kept their original logo and therefore has made it a nostalgic symbol. However one difference that the channel has had is that the front of the logo has changed. This is because the channel has grown and needed to show a professional look. Overall, we can see that throughout the century BBC One has evolved and has changed its way of producing idents as it has met all different types of requirements when looking at different times over the past.
