My Completed Animation video clip

assignment 2 task 4

 During the process of editing I have print screened a few of my processes and will also be giving detailed explanation about it.

The first image is at the very start of my editing process, where I had to reduce the size of all of my pictures.  I double clicked on the timeline to select the picture I wanted to zoom in. 

The next screen shot is the step during the zoom in, I had to click the effect control which gave me the options like Position, Scale, and Motion.  

I clicked the scale option and highlighted the "100.0"

                          And reduced it to "19.5" which is visible enough to be seen by anyone.

This is the image zooming in, it looks a lot smaller and we can actually see the image as a whole. I did this for all of the pictures using the same method, as they we all zoomed out in their original state.

This image is after I inserted the music into it (CBeebies theme song). 

For my music I had to use two sets of music, so during the editing of the music, I had to cut out some parts of the song from the other and, I needed the music to sound like it was one. I clicked on the effects - audio transitions - crossfade - constant gain, this made the part where I joined the music blend into each other and not seem like it was joined at all.

I needed to insert another clip of audio music to the clip because I needed two sets of music, I went to file - import - downloads - clicked on the music I wanted and then clicked imported it. And when it was on the bar. I dragged it to the timeline.

Task Three – Pre-production Planning

Carefully investigate your production requirements and then complete all necessary pre-production documentation. You will find the link to download all documents on the blog.  

Contingency Plan Name: Semilore Ogunlowo Production: CBeebies Animation

Potential problems and how to overcome these problems:    If the weather is really poor on the day we plan to do our filming, we will change the date to a week after and check if it is fine by the owners of the locations we will be using.     If the equipment breaks down due to carelessness or other reasons, we have to borrow a camera. If we do not find one as good as the school one we would have to manage in order to make sure we get our filming done.     If one of our props gets missing, the whole crew must be ready to contribute a token in order to get it replaced.      If our location is closed on the day we plan to film we have to choose another day and confirm  the location will be open for use.

assignment 2 task 2

Designing the suite

 This is the overall size of my Story-board for my CBeebies ident. My story board is a simple one but it has a lot of stages because the square character picks up the every letter of the Cbeebies logo and places it in the sky. 

1.)Stage one of the storyboard is the square man picking up the letter 'C'.

2.) the second stage is the character picking up the latter 'B' and picking it up to throw it into the sky.

3.) Stage 3 is the character picking up the 'ee' which are joined together and throws it into the sky.

4.)  Stage 4 is the character picking up the 'b' and throwing it into the air.

5.) Stage 5 is the character picking up the 'i' and throwing it into the sky. 

6.) Stage 6 is the character picking up the 'e' and throwing it into the sky.

7.) Stage 7 is the character picking up the 's' and throwing it into the sky.

When i filmed this ident, i filmed an extra part of the character dancing just to add a little spice to it and make it less about just the character, throwing idents up in the sky. 

Assignment 2 task 1 ideas generation

My 1st Idea

For the first idea, the storyline was for different shapes to be doing different things at each times of the day, the first shape which was a square was waking up in the morning, another triangle was at a birthday in the afternoon, the circle was an Halloween theme at night. And the end of each if their activity, the shapes would come together and do a little dance and in during this process the CBeebies logo would appear in the background. I ended up not picking this idea because it was not self-explanatory. Due to the fact that we were making a children ident, I felt like it had to be as simple as possible and understandable without having to explain it to anybody. This idea did not work because there was too much events happening in one ident and do not have a connection. 

2nd idea 

For my second idea I chose to use the clouds and the sun as the only things in this clip. The storyline was to make the clouds appear one by one and the sun appearing at the back little by little and at the end of the clip the CBeebies appears on the clouds letter by letter. The reason why the idea did not project well because, it made the ident look boring and the a bit too difficult to understand considering the fact that it is an ident for children. Another thing with this ident idea is that there is not much life in it. There are not much characters in it so if someone watches it, when it ends one would have to explain what just happened to the audience. This idea did not work because there was little to no story line involved. 

3rd Idea

For the last idea, which was the one I ended up using, the storyline was inspired by Tarzan. This ident was bright and colourful, very active and interesting included a square character with long hands and legs. The storyline is about a square character, swinging from the clouds and picking up letters from between yellow fences to form the CBeebies. And at the end of the animation, the square play doh does a little dance which continues till the end of the animation. This idea works because the storyline is something the children already know about. i choose it because it is something the children can familiarise withThe swinging from clouds to clouds can be recognised from Tarzan and the dance at the end, everyone does that so it is something the children can familiarise with. This ident can be used in the afternoon or during summer time, because of the colours and the swinging in it. It also has different bright colours which can be related to summer and the holiday times. This ident is suitable for the CBeebies channel because the theme of the ident is in line with what normally comes on CBeebies, the colours are similar to that of the CBeebies like the green, yellow. This colours are colours a children channel would use because it is attractive and draws the kids in. 

Assignment 1 Task 3

A suite means a collection with a theme linking them all in some way. A suite of idents consists of different that all have a similar theme that links them together. The purpose of having a suite of idents rather than one creates variety for the audience. The theme that is used throughout the suite is used so that the channel is able to create and maintain their brand identity. This way it is familiar and recognisable to everyone. Another reason why some idents are created is because an ident usually has a specific time and date at which it is able to be shown. For example it would be inappropriate to use a Christmas ident during the Easter period, also it would be inappropriate to use an ident about dogs before a show about elderly people in homes.

One suite that is very good is the idents of the dogs where the circle theme is used. The dogs performing tricks on a green field and end up running around in a circle. This ident cannot be used at any time, it has a certain time where it would be most efficient. This would not be a good ident to show on a Saturday evening before "The Voice" or before a serious drama or horror as it would set the wrong tone for the content. Other than the content of the programme there is also a certain season on which it would be best as it would not look right in the winter because of its brightness and warmness.

This ident is part of BBC circle ident and for the most part will appeal to men more if following the stereotype of men liking sports and girls don't. The best time of the day suited for, it would be around the evening because of the overall colour of it which is dark which means it would look out of place throughout the day or morning when it’s light out. This ident shows to the audience that this programme is very lively because of all of the movement and is also good for showing sports. 

Another BBC ident is the one of the Capes. This ident is best targeted at adults and some young people, because the props are applicable to older and younger people. The use of bright colourful capes are very noticeable which can be applied to young people, and the bikes, both young and older people ride bikes, the setting of the ident is situated in a busy area, which could be an illustration of the day people may have had. This ident is most likely to be shown at the late afternoon or almost towards the evening period, during the autumn season. The fascinating thing about this ident is when it starts raining heavily then it becomes sunny. The ident is directing a message to the audience that an exciting programme is coming up.

In a suite of idents there are always idents that are created for the purpose of being played during a specific season, Christmas being a large one. This gives the channel a sense of eventfulness and is a good way to get the audience to be excited for the season and is also a good chance to promote Christmas shows that they will be showing. This ident features a popular actor, David tenant from Doctor Who. This show is targeted at the younger age group, so this ident is also telling the younger people there is something on there for them as well. 

All of the idents above have a common theme running throughout which is that they all contain a circle within them. Some of these idents have created the circle by using animals or people moving about which gives the impression that everything ends and starts with BBC and that it is also a well-rounded channel that shows a variety of programming. The other ident uses lights to create the circle.
