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.
