My Final Ident and evaluation

This is my final ident. I don't think my final ident is as good as it could be. It's got too much on it and should be more simple. When making it I wanted to use lots of different elements I had learnt on After Effects and Photoshop. Making the frames took some time; the shapes were present and I added some photos I've taken on top and then used the overlay so that the frame was showing through a little bit. I put these into After effects and found a burnt film effect. I key framed this so that they appeared in a reversed burning way. I then added my production title text and went through a large amount of fonts until I found one that I was happy with. With these elements all on the composition I realised that the plain black background just didn't look right. I looked through loads of photos on the internet and ones I had taken, but nothing looked right. I finally found a photo on the internet of steps. I thought it looked interesting and would be a good background because it was black and white. Now I look at the final ident, I'm not completely happy with it. I think I tried to put too many ideas and elements together at once. I now think that if I was to do it again I would do the tracking idea I had with a photo of city street. It would have looked simpler and more professional. If I have time I may remake my ident from scratch and hopefully the new one will be up to a much better standard.
