AS2 - Task Four - Finished Ident

MY FINAL IDENT

AS2 Task 3 - Pre-Production Planning

Pre Production Planning

Proposal Prepared by Aliyah Al-Saud

-        I was asked to create an ident for a TV channel and I had to choose to make one for either CBeebies or CBBC -        After writing down a list of ideas I chose to create an ident for CBeebies as I believed that it would be more creative and the target audience, which is young children between 0-7, are more likely to be easier to entertain -        My idea is to create an idea that is based around the alphabet because of educational purposes and its also very colourful  -        My ident includes sound effects, each letter moving together and sepately, alot happening at once so they don't lose interest  -        The ident starts off with all the letters happy and then the C gets huungry and wants to eat all of the letters -        The C then starts to chase the other letters  -        The C then gets tired and wants to be friends with everyone again so they come close to together again and spell out cBeebies -        The BBC then appears and a pretty little flower  ensure everything is ok again.

AS2 Task 2 - Designing the Suite

Final Three Ideas

My first idea was a preview of the TV show 'Tweenies'. I would incorporate the alphabet into the ident and make it spell out 'Tweenies'. Originally, i wanted to use the theme tune for cbeebies in the background however i decided to use the Tweenies theme tune instead in order to excite the children. Often when anyone hears the music of their favourite show, it sticks in their minds and they end up singing along and getting excited when it comes on. I chose Tweenies because it is a popular TV show amongst young children and when I was younger, I absolutely adored them; they are like the cbeebies veterans. I know this idea would be successful and enjoyed a lot from my target audience.

My second idea was the halloween alphabet ident because we are currently in October and halloween is the highlight of the month; also globally enjoyed and participated in by young children dressing up as monsters and going out trick or treating. 

My third idea is simply the letters of the alphabet spelling out cBeebies. The C turns into a sort of pacman that chases the rest of the letters off of the page. It looks funny rather than scary and children will enjoy this because there's so much happening at one and children love to play tag/it so this is an alphabetical version of that well known game.
     

AS2 Task 1 - Ideas Generation

Mind map of Ideas

After mind mapping my idea's, I decided use the alphabet as my theme for my cbeebies ident because you can use the alphabet in various and adventurous ways. However, before mapping my ideas, as a class we all brain stormed themes and I chose my top three and developed my ideas on a piece of paper; I thought up ideas and as you can see, spider diagrammed them. In order to create a successful ident for children, there has to be suitable theme and i believe that alphabet is educational and fun for children because their minds are sponges at the young ages of 1-6; they absorb everything, therefore if they're watching their favourite shows, its good to educate them for a minute before they go on to enjoying their program. It's also good to include sounds and music, young children understand better and engage more when there are intriguing sounds. My other two ideas, which is shown in the picture, were animals and lego. These two were discounted because of different reasons. One reason they had in common though was that there's not a lot you can do with them. There isn't much you can do with just animals alone except make an ident solely based on animals and the noises thy make. As for lego, there is alot you can do but it's not very educational whereas the alphabet teaches children how to spell, how to say each letter etc.
