Unit 32 Assignment 2 - Sketches/Designs/Collages
Documentary ident idea: Uses post-production to create a fast paced ident. The ident starts out with 'The Ride' logo sweeping on screen then a voice over that announces what's up next (The Ride) and then talks during the ident explaining a bit about 'The Ride' being sure to mention the stars that are on it. Throughout the ident there are flashes different episodes of 'The Ride' the pace is quite fast and then at the end of it the logo 'ITV Music' flashes up suddenly, the ident ends and the episode begins.
Reality TV ident idea: The ident starts out with a shot of some people arguing, then all of sudden doors burst open and we see a camera crew run into the room, the people arguing stop and glare angrily at the camera, then attack the camera, pushing it to the side and the shot is all blurry and spinny and then the logo comes on and says ITV music. Throughout the ident there is a voice over talking about the shows that are going to be on next, the osbournes and stuff
Old music countdown ident idea: The ident starts out of a birds eye view of an empty field. There is maybe the countdown music in the background, that during the time of the countdown music, a bunch of old albums appear one by one on the ground spelling out the word music. Then using post-production the 'ITV' will appear above or next to the word music on the ground. There would be a voiceover saying what's going to happen either at the end of the ident or during it.

Ident music countdown mindmap:
Things that 16-24 year olds like to spend their time doing:
- Socialising
- Going on the internet
- Watching TV (reality TV shows, wasting their time etc)
- Drinking
- Loud music
- Shopping
- Gaming
========================================================================
Analysis of other music channels:
Viva's ident's don't really make that much sense. The design is pretty simple and it does have the logo in the middle of the screen but it doesn't say anything about music. There are usually shot in a dancing crowd but near the middle of the advert some subtitle pops up saying something random. It's not easily understandable and if you've never heard of Viva then you probably wouldn't be able to guess what this channel would be showcasing. I do like the shortness of it though and it's in slow motion some of it.
4Musics ident's are quite neony which is alright but it's kind of weird the style of dance that some of the idents are doing. It sometimes doesn't fit with the music, the style of dance that they're doing fits with a certain type of music. So people might get the wrong idea and think that 4Music will play a certain style of music when they don't. The flow of the ident is good, the way they dance on and then off screen.
Target audience:
4Music target audience: 16- to 34-year-olds (Source: X)

Ident music countdown mindmap:
- Ticking back time to the 40/50/60's
- Filmed outside maybe in a quiet field with a lot of space. Quite a generic background
- ITV logo might pop up in the sky
- Bright colours
- Old album collection
- People dancing different dances maybe
Ident documentary series mindmap:
- Quite dark/Metallic look
- Features 'The ride' logo
- Dark ITV logo
- Shows scenes of an interviewer
- Mainly uses post production
- Shows the behind the scenes of things being made
- Fast paced
Ident reality TV series mindmap:
- People reacting to the reality TV shows flashing back to clips of the actual reality TV shows
- Lever to switch it from music to TV?
- ITV logo quite bright and fast to get people interested
- The Osbournes feature
- Behind the scenes of the reality TV stuff being filmed
- Flashes to exciting parts of the TV shows
#1. Music countdown would be filmed like TCM, mainly using real life. (Cameras, Tripod, Real life props) But also using a bit of post production to put the ITV logo in.
#2. The documentary ident would be quite slow paced using mainly already shot footage. Post production would play a big part in this ident.
#3. The reality TV ident would mainly use post production to put in flashes of the reality TV programmes that will be on there. Like to give people little exciting snippets of the show. There might be some actual filming (camera tripod cast)
Unit 32 Assignment 2 - Production Diary
I started doing my mind map thinking about what kind of things 16-25 year olds like to do so I could get a bit of an idea of how to target them in my ident.
I have a rough idea in my head about how I could do the ident that will introduce the 'best of' music video countdowns. Using old albums from the 80's/70's and 60's that I have at home to to form the letter 4 and then use post production to make the ITV curved font letter appear before the number 4.
Looked at 4Music and VIVA, Viva didn't make much sense and 4Music was a bit missleading. The colours of 4Music are quite neon-y and the colours of Viva are quite dark with bits of bright colour
Finished writing about the target audience for everything.
Did rough ideas for the 3 idents using mindmaps. Quite fast paced action on screen for all of them.
Started my actual ideas for the 3 idents. Did an in-depth explanation as to what the idents would include, did collages of each of the idents with explanations underneath.
Finished the three storyboards for my idents used an online storyboard maker.
Decided I'm going to make the filmed argument reality TV ident because filming is a strength of mine. The ident is gonna be quite fast paced
Had a bit of trouble finding cast to do it and ended up finding some people last minute having to film inside college instead of in a house which is where I originally wanted to do it.
Finished filming, didn't take long. Did multiple takes so I had plenty of footage of the argument scene.
Filmed an extra bit where someone filmed me looking at my camera and then realising there was an argument then standing up and having the camera switch to my camera like a first person view.
Started the edit. Put everything in order, decided the extra shot bits doesn't look great so I deleted it.
Searched for suspenseful background music to have playing at the start as I run up the stairs. Got more sound effects for the ident.
Searched for a tutorial to find out different ways to animate my logo. Decided to do a glitchy type logo on after effects to kind of show that it's just been 'hit onto the screen' as one of the cast members ended the filmed section by putting their hand on the screen.
The animation was quite easy because I was just following a tutorial along. Didn't have any problems, finished the logo animation in about 20 minutes.
Put the animation into my ident at the end.
Recorded the voiceover "Up next on ITV we've got the osbournes then at 10 we've got Run's house"
Was told I need to make just a few changes to my ident.
Colour corrected the whole ident making it brighter as it was just a little bit dark. Then put a filter on the start and end of the filmed bits where it made it glow.
Then made the logo freeze frame at the end instead of just glitching off screen so people can focus on the logo more
Re-filmed the voice over to include the word 'music' after ITV.
Finished and exported my ident.

Unit 32 Assignment 1 Designing Idents
http://prezi.com/dvq3jiseu1vn/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy
What is an ident?
This ident is targeting young girls. It's suitable for this gender because of the music box like music in the background, young girls usually listen to music box type music, it sounds light and floaty and girly. The ident features a young girl which is why it is more targeted towards that specific gender. The colours in this are blue, bright and happy.
This ident is targeting the mystery genre. You can tell this from the voice over specifically talking about mystery programs. The setting is a table and a guy writing on a typewriter. You typically see this in mystery programs.
What is the purpose of an ident?
The purpose of an ident is to persuade, idents are a marketing tool so that you don't change the channel.
To create a sense of brand identity, to keep a sense of consistency. (The same logo, colour, font etc)
To sell programmes, to sell a program coming up, making people carry on watching.
People use idents break up their programmes, they do this because certain shows don't have adverts so the programmes come up quickly. Also people use idents to keep peoples attention before the advert break. To map out the TV schedule, like when they say "This Lunchtime ____ is going to be playing" so you know that around 12/1pm you can look forward to a TV show.

BBC
Opportunities for an ident designer:
For the ident designer, creating a good ident for a known channel could get you a good reputation meaning you'd get more people coming to you. More people coming to you means you get more money, also because you're experienced you could offer charge more money for it. You could get hired by a channel meaning you'd be having constant work.
Opportunities for a channel:
For the channel having a good ident could change a lot for you, if you're viewed by the public as a particularly boring channel, they could completely re-brand you and entice more viewers into watching your channel by your exciting ident. As a channel you could get a contract with that ident designer so that they will continue to work for you and make good different idents. This will switch it up all the time so it's not just the same boring ident, people are surprised each time they view your channel cause the ident will change say every month to a different new exciting ident. (But with the same brand and logo.)
Limitations for a designer:
ASFC approach you and say they want you to make an ident for Ashton TV. 15seconds long has to use the ASFC logo has to target 16 to 18 year olds.
Depending on the brief you might have to keep colour, timescale or an audience in mind.
You might not fit the age bracket you're designing for therefor you will have a lack of knowledge and experience of the brand/channel/audience
Software limitations. You might not have the software at home to create the ident.
You will gain a bad reputation if you don't get the ident done on time. People will think that you are inconsistent, they will think you're a failure, they will think you have a poor skill set.
Your idea may not fit the channel brief. If the brief isn't clear, your criticisms may not be direct. (Take it personally?) You may want to work in a really creative way but you can't.
Limitations of Idents:
Sky Thursdays ident
I think that this ident is rubbish because the design is quite boring and doesn't fit with the colour scheme of the 'SKY' channels. (Which are blue) This is literally the only logo that is a different colour and doesn't incorporate any blue in it whatsoever. This might throw people off. There is no explanation of what sky thursdays is. There's no voice over or no thing before or after this. To make it better I would of put a voice over on it to explain what Sky Thursdays is and why people should tune into this particular channel on Thursdays. I might put pictures of recognisable film stills in the background maybe appearing then disappearing so there's a variety.
BBC Two Ident
I think that this ident is quite boring. The voice over doesn't start speaking until the actual logo has completed it's transition and is shown fully on screen, there's no music to make it interesting. I'm sure a lot of people would of turned over before the voice over even started. The voice over guy has quite a monotone voice, not interesting a lot of people. At the time it was shown this was probably quite good for an ident. But now, there are many limitations of it. I would change the fact that there's no music in the background just to make it more interesting. I would have the voice over talk as soon as the ident started so people aren't waiting around. I would also have a better voiceover, a more upbeat one so people aren't bored to death listening to it.
ITV 3 ident
This ident is really boring, the voice over sounds like a news reader and there's not any music to go in the background of the ident. The only movement on screen is the beams of light moving around in the background. The music only kicks in at the end. The logo doesn't do anything interesting all throughout. I would change the music so that it plays throughout I would make the music upbeat so it keeps people interesting. I might make the voice over guy more exciting. There could be more movement on screen so that people just aren't basically staring at a picture for 15 seconds.
BBC FOUR IDENT
The text was the same BBC 4 text throughout. The speed was faced paced using hand transitions. The space was lots of extreme closeups of different things. There was an extreme closeup of a squid.
The ident is used to persuade people, shows a wide range of interesting images. "BBC 4 is an interesting channel" The purpose was also to sell the programmes. The target audience are 35-44 year olds who have an interest in factual programmes.
The most creative parts are the hand transitions pulling images across octopus ecv - shot of lizard. Hand moves with lizard.
The brand identity that BBC 4 are trying to create is that it's an exciting factual program.
BBC 4 birds ident:
The colours were very monochrome, it was black and white and those were the only colours. The only text was the BBC four logo in the middle of the screen, this is good because it keeps the identity of the BBC brand. The speed of it was quite slow, like there weren't any fast transitions (because there weren't really any transitions it all looked like one "camera" shot. (Though It might of been done in after effects/Cinema4D)) The birds were moving slow but it looked like the camera was following them through the air so it looked kind of fast. Throughout it was one continuous camera shot, it kept usually at a wide shot or a long shot of the birds (00:10-00:14) but it also sometimes went to a mid shot. (00:25-00:29)
To me the most creative part was where it looked like it went underwater then above water. The brand identity is to make BBC 4 seem like an interesting channel that has nature programmes. The people who it's targeted at are 35-44 year olds who have an interest in nature programmes.
The birds are distorted and blurry from (00:19 - 00:25) this keeps people guessing as to what is actually being shown on screen, keeping people interested.
The audio of the thing was calming music, this plays into the whole nature vibe. Usually when we think of nature we think of calming scenes.
BBC bee ident:
The key colours for the bee ident were blue and yellow. The text was 00:02-00:07 the text appeared up with the time, black and white conatating seriousness. The speed of the ident is synced in time with the music for example at 00:02-00:07 when everytime the bell dongs the action on screen changes the music gets faster and the stuff on screen got faster. The space was filled with lots of colour, there was always something interesting going on in each corner of the space.
The fact that there were bees and the sea in this ident is showing that it's sticking with it's brand identity of the channel (BBC4) also nature because they used animals and nature.
The most creative part for me was definitely where the music synced with the action on screen. I think this because it flowed really well and the bell noise made you wonder what was going to happen next (after you realised that the action was being synced with the audio)
Comparison:
I think that the bee ident was the most creative one because it was a lot simpler and clearer than the other two idents. The first ident was too fast and might of put people off in how weird it was, it was also quite abstract, older people who watch the channel might not of been able to keep up with it. The second one was also a bit too abstract, whereas the first one was easily understandable. I liked the way that the music was in sync with the action on screen, I thought that was very creative. The other ones their music was just a background track really. This one was more thought out. The ident that showed the genre off more was still definitely the bee one. This is because of the fact that they used two bees and two seas pictures to phonetically spell out the BBC 4 logo as it appeared in the middle of the screen. You definitely got a nature-y vibe from this ident. Overall the ident was simple, not boring to watch, very easy to understand and kept the brand identity, I definitely preferred it over the others and thought it worked most effectively.
What is an ident?
- An Ident is a short video clip that ID's a channel
- Like a graphic
- Carries the channels logo
- Carries the brand identity
Why do we use an ident?
- To introduce a programme is going to start
- Help identify a channel
- Help introduce a genre or season
- Marketing tool, to keep the audiences intrest
- More than one ident to keep it interesting

Unit 23 Assignment 1 - Multi camera techniques
1.
2. A multi camera set up or ,multi camera production means 3 or more cameras on set to record a production
3.
4. A single camera production means one camera using to record a production
5.
6. The following web links talk about the pros and cons of working in a multi camera set up
7. In summary of these websites the pros and cons are,
Pros: A multi-camera production saves time in the filming stages also the post-production stages. There would be less continuity because the scene is only being filmed once at multiple different angles where as over and over again using one camera.
Cons: The cons of multi-camera productions are that it costs more than a single camera production. There's limited shots that you could do because you wouldn't want to get one of the cameras in the others shot. The lighting will be hard to do due to the many different angles that need to be lit properly.
8.
This programme uses Multi-Camera techniques. You can see this at (34:00-34:14) where they show wide shot of the football field to get all of the football action on screen, then at (34:15-34:22) they cut to multiple different shots to show the players reaction to someone missing a goal.
This programme uses Multi-Camera techniques. You can see this throughout the clip, for example at 13:47 to 13:52 they switch between two different angles of the same scene. They do this so the audience can get a more ranged view of the scene they are watching and so that they can see the actors reactions.
This programme uses multi-camera techniques. You can see this throughout the video, they use many different angles. They have to do this because it's a panel show and it would be too hard for them to get everyone talking on screen/everyones reactions to something if they only used one camera. You can see an example of the different angles from 4:14 (They show a shot of the right hand side team) then at 4:18 (They go to a close up of a member on the right hand team)
This programme uses multi-camera techniques. You can see they have two different angles set up because it's an interview style show you need to show the interviewer and the interviewee. 0:20 shows the Interviewer then at 0:29 it cuts to the Interviewee for their response. You need this setup for this kind of show because it'd be weird if you just saw the interviewer throughout the whole show.

I think that out of all of these shows the How I met Your Mother used their Multi-camera setup best. They used the different angles that they had to make the scene as funny as they could, getting all the actors reactions in without having to reshoot made it so that the final product was the best it could be to entertain the audience. I don't think any of these programmes could of been done as a single camera production. How I met your mother could of been but it would of disrupted the flow of the actors making the show not really up to a great standard. Plus there would of been a lot of continuity errors.
