Producing a Television Ident

This is in the process of creating my television Ident.

When creating my ident, i used playdough in order to create a little stickman kicking a ball and heading a ball on a wall. I put the playdough on a peice of paper to create a background. I took lots of pictures of the stickman in different positions kicking the ball. When i done this, i imported the pictures into premiere and put them in order to animate them. I then put music over the top of this. The taught my how to produce a film a different way to just filming it.

Proposal Prepared by Charlie Parnell

I am going to create a suite of idents for the channel CBBC. Each ident will be a stick man playing a certain sport. At the end of the ident, there will be an option to loop it, so you can play it as many times as you want.

Unit 32 - AS2 - Task 2

Designing the Suite

All of the above storyboards I think are suitable for the CBBC channel because they are all sports themed and are very energetic. Some of the idents that currently exist on the channel are sports themed. As children tend to be full of energy, I think that this'll be just right for the feel of the channel. I think that each of these idents are suitable to play at anytime of the day, especially during the day as this is when kids often play the most. The idents will keep the interest of the targeted audience as I think that it will appeal to most of the children who watch the channel.
The idents will be most suitable to play in a time of year where a sporting event is happening such as; the world cup or olympics.

Ideas Generation

Picture 1

The channel i am going to be creating an ident for is CBBC. Picture 1 shows some of the themes that i am considering to base my suite around. I have changed the football theme to a sports theme as i can create a lot more different types of idents to make the suite more interesting. Picture 2 shows what time of day and what time of year or social event that the ident would be perfect for. Obviously this ident can be played all year round but would be ideal for these events, such as the olympics and world cup. I think that this is a good theme idea as most children enjoy sports and being active.

Picture 2

Another theme shown in picture 1 is the school theme. This theme i think can be played any time of day but only at the time of year when everyone is at school. This theme can show things like school crowds, bell ringing and children in a classroom. I think that this theme is a good idea all of the kids who watch the CBBC channel can relate to this.
Another theme shown in picture 1 & 2 is a video game theme. Again, this theme can be played at anytime of day and anytime of year, however i think the most suitable time of day would be the evening as this is the most frequent time that people are going t be playing video games. I think that most people who watch the CBBC channel can relate to this.
My final theme shown in the pictures is a music theme. Again i think that this theme can be shown at any time of year and at any time of day. However if i had to choose, i would put it on in the evening. Everyone likes music so i think everyone who watches CBBC can appreciate this ident.

I am going to create an ident on a sports theme because i think that people being active will keep the attention of the audience better then all of the other themes. I think it would appeal to the audience because children are very active and have a lot of energy so they may be able to identify themselves with the people being active doing sports in the ident.

Understanding the design of a suite of television indents

A suite of television indents is when a television channel designs a new ident, however they don't just create one ident, they create a whole suite of idents that consist of a constant theme. Each ident will look different but all will have something in common which relates them to each other.  This creates variety amongst them which can keep the audience interested. A good example of a channel doing this is BBC 1, which used a circle theme to create a loop at the of the ident:

The theme in this suit of idents by BBC 1 has a constant theme of a build up to a loop of something/someone moving around in a circle. I think that this theme of idents appeals to all type of people as there is no obvious type of audience that these appeal to.

Each theme has a different feel to them, from the energetic dogs running about to the people creating the moon. The dogs may be played during the morning to perk some people up before they go to school or work. This ident may also be played during the summer as it follows the feel of summer. The moon may be played at night because it is calm and relaxing so this may reflect people's moods before going to bed. The kites may be shown during the winter as they have a winter feel to them because everyone in the ident is all dressed up in winter clothes, and it is also quite windy.
All of these idents are designed to keep the viewers entertained while they are being told what is coming next.

The idents may be used in order to convey the channel in a certain way. The suite of idents BBC 1 have chosen may be to convey diversity, in that the channel appeals to everyone as the idents do not appeal significantly to a particular type of person. Each ident shows something different but in the same way so it keeps a constant theme but still have different types of idents. The design of the idents are very effective as if you saw one, you would definitely know that you are watching BBC 1 as they are very easy to recognise.
Each ident last the same amount of time and follows the same structure to it. This is so they can use any loop they want if they need to fill in a certain amount of time on the channel.
