pre production log 5

This week we all had to finish up all of the idents, with my ident being done I just had to wait for the other two to be finished while I finish off some of the work that needed improvements. I went to the other from to Faris to check how the 3D animation went and if I could upload my stop animation ident to YouTube. It turns out that the 3D animation needed a lot more time to finish and at the time it would take at least 5 hours to finish.

It turns out that it was not possible to finish the 2D animation since the other person in my group Daniel was unable to finish it, so we gave that for Faris to finish.Later on in the day I went to the other room and it turns out that Faris managed to finish the 3D ident since he found a video that told him everything, so he was able to finish the ident quicker than we expected him to finish it.

When it comes to the 2D ident we were told that Faris was given it and it would not take that long to finish since Daniel was almost done with it and it would not take long to get the animation done. We were all told that Faris had also managed to do the 2D animated ident, and now all of the idents are done and we just need to upload them onto our blogs.

Due to the fact that there is no work left for us to do, we wont be doing anything next week since we have finished the module.

This week there was a lot of work for us to do with making the idents. Everybody in the class was told that each group were given 9 pieces of work to finish, and since we found out that it didn't take long to do we all managed to finish everything by the end of break. My group had to do the budgets for all 3 idents and we had to do the call sheets, cast and crew sheets, so that we all got to know who is doing what.

Since I was making the stop animation I had to do the budget that would be needed for the stop animation budget and I needed to do the cast list with the one person playing as the falling student in my ident. I was told that I needed to do the crew list for all 3 idents, which I managed to do in a short period of time.

For the rest of the week we started making to actually make the idents and we all knew what ideas we were going with. First the three of us went upstairs next to the homework club room and filmed the stop motion animation idents and took multiple pictures of Faris falling down and dropping the papers, luckily we only needed to do it once, so there were no injuries like we thought. When we finished the filming of the stop animation ident we quickly edited it and added sound to it to make it sound like it was in a school, hallway which did not take long to do and we managed to finish making the stop animation ident quicker than expected.  We have started the 2D and 3D idents but the other two people in my group are having trouble with finishing it.

Next week we were planning on finishing off the 2D and 3D idents upload all of them onto YouTube, then onto our blogs in time before the deadline is due.

This week we were all still deciding which logo we were actually going for. Through most of the week one of the people in our group was not in so me and Faris discussed with him on the phone which logo we were all going with and there was a lot of good points made about why exactly we should chose certain logos, and when Daniel was finally in class we all decided what we chose and why exactly we chose it.

Originally we decided that we were going for Faris's logo but then we all discussed with sir that his logo was too fancy for the channel, and we all decided to go with my logo, and we could just change it a bit and add the "A". We all decided that my logo fitted best for the logo for the channel since that my logo contained the CHA logo and it had a TV with the letters "CHATV" which helped us decide which logo was going to be used in the idents that we were making.

When Daniel was in we all decided what exact ident ideas we were all going for, We all decided that we were going for 1 ident from each of us. When we were deciding what idents we were going to make we decided that we were going for my ident for stop motion of a student falling to the ground dropping papers with one paper being the logo, since it is a common thing that happens in school, which can help relate to the audience. We chose to choose Faris’s ident for 3D where there is a desk with the logo falling on it, since it is very exciting and it is set in a classroom, which would appeal to the audience.   We decided that we were going to use Daniel’s ident for 2D where there is a stick man pushing the CHATV TV across the screen and turns it on, and then the letters “CHATV” appear, which seems like a very fun and interesting ident, which fits perfectly with the channel.

Next week my group are all going to plan how exactly we are going to be actually make the idents, and who in our group is going to be doing the animating and the filming, if that is part of their ident idea.

pre production log 2

This week we had a lot of time to finish off everything that we were told to do before the holidays, which was deciding which logo we were going to chose, making a blog about the logos, doing the storyboards, and make a blog about all of our ideas for idents we were going to make.

Due to the fact that one of the people in my group was not able to finish any of his work in time, me and Faris unfortunately had to wait till the last day to finish up the blog about the logo last minute. We all decided that we were going to use Faris's logo, since it made the channel look like something that people would want to watch. Shortly after when I started making my blog about the logos, I realized that I messed up my logo and forgot to add the "A", so we could not use my one, and we thought Daniel's one looked too basic for the channel, so we all decided to go with Faris's logo.

When we were making the storyboards we all have managed to finish all 6 of them in time, we had to make 2 for each types of idents, 2D,3D and stop motion.besides Daniel, but we were told that he would manage to finish it by Tuesday. The storyboards took a while to finish and put on the blog but we all managed to finish everything.

Next week we are all planning to decide what idents we are going for when making them and we were all planning to see what we can change to some idents, and who is going to be playing the rolls as the characters in the idents.

Storyboards

This ident is stop motion and you see three students in a classroom and then they think for an answer when a teacher asks a question. When one of them gets the answer,they happily raise their hand to answer the question, and when they talk the logo appears for CHATV. There will be a calm voice over welcoming the viewer since it will be played in the morning. This ident makes it seem like the channel is very humorous and relaxed, with the relaxed voice and joyful people in the ident.

This ident is stop motion and has a student rushing into a classroom with a bunch of papers, and when they fall with all the papers, there is one paper that contains the CHATV logo. There will be an excited voice over mentioning the previous show and then saying what show is next. This ident makes the channel look very humorous by showing the person falling over, this might make people think that the show contains comedy shows, and likes to be humorous and not too serious.

This ident will be 2D and is very simple and has a windmill with the letters for the channel CHATV, the wind will blow the letters to the ground and then the logo appears. There will be a calm voice over saying what show is next, This ident makes the channel seem very relaxing by having a very simple ident that is relaxing to watch, it could make the audience get the idea that the channel has a lot of relaxing shows for them to watch.

This ident will be in 3D and will have two people playing football in a school playground, and when the person kicking the ball misses it goes straight for the screen and leaves a mark alongside the CHATV logo.There is going to be an excited voice over mentioning all of the shows that are coming up in the next hour and what show is next. This ident makes the channel look very exciting to watch and it might make the audience think that the channel focuses on sport and exercise for their shows.

This ident will be in 2D and will have two children playing frisbee in a school playground and when one of them catches the frisbee, the CHATV logo is on the frisbee. There will be a joyful voice over saying the previous shows and the show coming up. Same as ident 4 it makes the channel look very energetic and makes the channel seem like the promote fitness and running around, which is what children should do.

This ident has a bunch of students walking outside of a class with their results and one of them checks their results and got happy seeing they passed. There will be a joyful voice actor welcoming the viewer. By showing students walking out a class room getting happy about results, it gives the audience something to relate to since it is a common thing that happens with students. 

Logo initial ideas

The three of us decided which logo we would chose out of the three that we have made in the past week. When it came to branding we thought Faris's and Usama's logo fitted the best since they both contain the Chadwell Heath logo, which is the windmill, this helps brand the channel by adding the schools identity, by adding their logo into another logo.

With imagery in mind Daniel's and Usama's logo both went for having the words CHTV and CHA with a TV implying the name of the channel CHATV, but Usama forgot to add the "A" in the logo, so we could not use his logo. We decided that we were not going to use Daniel's design since we thought his logo looked too basic compared to the other two.

When it comes to typography all three logos went for the yellow and blue colour scheme to relate to the Chadwell Heath Academy logo. With font, we all decided to make the font a large size, but we mostly like Faris's logo since by having a fancy font it makes the channel look like it would be interesting to watch.

With all three logos, when it comes to limitations of technology, there are many things that we would like to do, such as possibly make the logos, animated and move around when they appear in the idents, but it is not possible to be able to do this due to the fact that the software that we have for post production is not advanced enough to be able to do these actions.

We were informed by sir that Faris's logo seemed to be too fancy for the channel, and Usama's logo fitted the channel the best out of the three, so we all decided to just go with Usama's logo since the other two did not seem to fit well with the channel we were aiming for.
