Editing the ident

While editing we noticed that the frame shots we did of the shaky footage, wasn't needed. So, we just went with the non-shaky filmed footage we had. So, we put this into imovie with some extra footage of club scenes.

With all this edited, and the on-screen graphics added into the end, the result was good, also, the overall effect, with al the effects we had, made it better than we thought it would turn out like.

Uploading the ident (one - party)

We have now uploaded all of our work from the filming. While looking at the footage, we released that some of the footage was slightly shaky.

We dealt with this by taking some of that shaky footage that we needed and making it into pictures and so those parts as animations instead of a film.

As a result, this came out quite good considering all the complications.

Creating the on screen graphics

We've started to create the last part of the on screen graphics, when the filmed part fades out and the graphics fade in.

But we sadly didn't have enough to film the ice cube melting, so we decided that it'd be better just to go with the on-screen graphics we'd already completed.

In the end, the effect that came out was good but wasn't as good as if we were able to have the melting ice cubes.

Sound/music ideas for ident three: Kitchen

In this ident, we'll need sound affects like, opening and closing of the fridge door and the sound of the frying ice. But, we'll also need a voice over, at the end, telling the audience what's coming up on the grid.

Ident three: Kitchen

This ident is set inside a kitchen, so we called it that. The story-line goes like this; we have a full shot of 'the grid', then we have a (mid) shot of a frying pan on a hob. The we cut to a long shot of a fridge. In this shot, it is the freezer being opened, this a hand grabs the ice cubes and then takes it back to the hob. Then, we have a (zooming from mid to close-up) shot, with the chill pill melting away inside the frying pan. We then would cut to a panning long shot. In this shot, the person goes back to the freezer, with it opening, taking out the letters, then taking those ice cubes to the stove. The, they'd be a close up shot of the 'the grid', ice cube melting inside the frying pan. Then, lastly, a close up shot of the frying pan, with 'the grid' inside it.

Sound/Music planning for ident two: Pacman

We decided to start off the ident with packman sounds because the main focus of the ident is on a packman ice cube. Then, on shot 7, we move to a wild west sound. This is because the brain shaped ice has confronted the packman ice cube. At shot 9, the packman sounds come on to show that the packman has made his move within the blackout. At shot 10, the Dearth vader part of the star wars theme tune comes on during a close up of the packman ice cube. Then, in the last shot, a voice over would go; "You're watching the grid".

Filming our Ident

We started to film our ident. We coloured the ice and put them in the freezer. We then took turns in checking on the ice cubes, seeing if they were frozen, etc. The, once they were frozen, we took turns operating the camera, putting the ice cubes in and out of the freezer and being the hand within the ident.

Later, we realized that it would be really good if we started the ident with someone putting the ice trays into the freezer, so we filmed Grace doing that.

But then, we realized that the camera was tracking, even through the knew that it had been taken of that setting. So, we realized that most of our film was shaking and tracking, etc. This meant that we had to consider re filming or trying to fix what we did on the computer. We decided that we should try and fix as much a possible before we go to the effort of re filming.

How we got the idea for ident two: Pacman

We started to come up with this idea when we were looking up ice trays on the internet. When we came across it, we decided to get the packman because it was a fun way to bring the younger end of our target audience to the channel. Then we thought that they would have to eat something as they go along - with the sounds with it - because otherwise people would not know what was going on. Then we thought it would be really funny if the packman eat a 'the brain' to show that the channel has shows like QI. So, we decided to have the wild west theme tune going on during a close up, and as it goes into blackout, the packman sounds come back and when the packman comes back the brain is gone and the dearth-vader part of the star wars theme tune comes on and we go into a close up of packman. We then thought that it would end with ice letter saying 'the grid' and a voiceover going; "You're watching the grid".
