Unit 32: Assignment 2: Task 4

The final product of this work was the television ident, which was made using Plasticine to make the CBBC logo, as well as a witch, and three pumpkins.  

I personally think that the ident turned out very well, however, I believe that it could've been slightly longer, however there was nothing left for me to continue recording.

Designing The Suite

Because my three idents are all based around seasons, and specific times of year

The first ident is based around Autumn, and thus features witches, and pumpkins. The ident depicts three pumpkins, a witch approaches them and waves her wand, some sparkles appear over the pumpkins, and form the logo of the broadcaster. I personally feel like this is the best idea, as I believe it to be the most thought out, and is the most solid idea, and would come back with the best results after production.

The second ident was based around winter, and thus features snowmen. The ident depicts two snowmen having a snowball fight, the snowballs begin to become larger and larger, until eventually they become large enough to knock each other other, the top parts roll of, and form into the logo of the broadcaster.

The final ident was based around spring, and thus features chickens, and baby chicks. This ident depicts a chicken walking into shot, laying 4 eggs, and then walking out of shot. The eggs then start to shake and hatch to show the logo. I personally think that this one would be the least successful of the three, as I believe that some of the shots, such as when the eggshells crack, would be a bit fiddly, and hard to pull off, and because of this, I think that the end product will not be as good.

Ideas Generation

I have mind-mapped and storyboarded a suite of three idents for the broadcaster CBBC, they all have a similar theme between the three being the seasons. First of all, we had to create a mindmap of ideas that would've been suitable for use on children's programming, so we came up with a few basic ideas, and expanded from that.

We had ideas such as animals, colours, cartoons, and toys, as these were all child friendly, and would fit in with the theme of children's programming. Once we'd mind mapped a few rough ideas, we then expanded into a few other ideas, and then from there created a suite of idents, and storyboarded them along the way throughout the creation process. The theme that all three share are seasons. I think it is suitable for children's TV channels such as CBBC, due to it being a very child friendly subject, it will also teach younger viewers about the general differences between certain seasons, such as winter being colder, and summer being hotter.

Originally, I had an idea about basing all of my idents around the theme of Halloween, which would feature things such as witches, jack o lanterns, and skeletons. However, I later believed this to be too narrow of a spectrum, and thought that sooner or later, I would run out of ideas, or my idents would soon become too similar, I also believed that it might scare some of the younger viewers.

Eventually, I decided on what I considered to be a more child friendly topic, which was seasons. I would then go on to design 3 idents that fit in with my chosen theme.
