The introduction of this clip is set in space, starting off behind Earth before picking up speed and travelling through the planets until the well known 'X' is found. The 'X' is representing a meteor heading straight for Earth which in-keeps with the entire space theme. It also allows an opportunity to create a sense of how important and large the show is, the introduction itself is on a large scale which would imply that the show is the same.
The colours used throughout are all in keeping with the space theme, which has meant they've had to make sure the 'X' is as bright and bold as possible. They've done this by obviously staying with it's iconic red and black but they've made sure the text is in 3D and bright. Doing this also creates the feeling of heat and that it is travelling at an immense speed. Had they not done achieved the effect it may have not been clear what the 'X' was representing but most importantly, although the background is dark,it does have a lot going on in terms of planets and stars which could very easily distract the viewer from the main information. The creators also made sure to keep the feeling of speed ongoing throughout, apart from the way the text was created there was another method used. They made sure to have the background moving quickly and ensure the stars and planets got large on approach. The use of distance and perspective was also an important factor in creating the speed and scale of the clip.
As a title screen the only information it is meant to reveal is the name of the show that it is representing. This is achieved in a simple but creative way which was described in the above paragraphs. It is obvious right away which program this is representing as the adverts for the X-Factor always make the 'X' very prominent and noticeable.
The iconic theme tune for the show is used in the introduction, the same music is also used in any advertising so this helps the viewer to remember and link that tune to the title screen. This is useful as people that know the show will then be aware of it starting so that they obviously can watch it (or turn it over!). The music is made to be 'catchy' and helps to grab the attention of the audience. The music itself is also fairly fast paced, so the animation has to be the same otherwise it would not syncronise properly and would probably look very unprofessional.
