BBC2 Ident

This idea was to recreate the 'BBC2' logo. We were required to storyboard, film and edit the ident. This is because the BBC2 ident is quite boring and relatively simple. We were given the BBC2 outline of the template and we told that we had to design a new ident for the channel.

This is my detailed storyboard. 

It is important to have a detailed storyboard because therefore you have something to follow and an idea that you are able to keep track on. I kept to this storyboard because I really like my original idea. I also did this storyboard as I went along because I didn't have much of an idea to start with. 

Original template

With this ident we had to make it look a lot more modern. The way I did this was in animation, I wanted to use something with stars therefore I got a picture and decided that I would use place the photo into the BBC 2 template. 

My design template 

This was the design I came up with I like it a lot because I felt as though it was something different and bright. I like the idea of being able to change the colours to the original ident. I then also decided to photoshop the background, I used a pink grainy effect to do this. I did this because it is the polar opposite to what the original BBC 2 ident looked like. The song that I used was 'When I Wish Upon A Star' the reason for using this song because I felt as though it was a nice song to use for the ident as it was nothing to upbeat however it is a song that people will immediately recognise and this is important on an ident.

I really liked my ident although I felt as though it could have had a lot more animation in it as it was more of a still image.

That's The Way To Do It

I think that all of the websites are incredibly creative in there different ways. However my favourite one is Pascal Van Gemert.

This is my favourite website because I like a number of elements on it. I think that my favourite thing about the website is the interactive header. I really like this because he is a web developer and creative programmer. I think that the interactive elements shows that he is keeping his blog up to date with all new developments. Ideally this is something that an professional would be looking for because its something that stands out and makes the website professional but a little bit different and unique to everybody else's.

The interactive header. 

The design of this blog is one I really like, I love the way that the colour scheme is set out. Through the entire blog there is only four colours used, this keeps it simple and easy to read. The fact that the colour of his titles is the same colour as his header keeps the focus on the actual information rather than the colour of font. Alongside this, the colour of the font is black which is bold in some of the more important information again this makes it incredibly easy to read. Keeping it basic means that employers can quickly scroll through it if they have a spare five minutes.

Pascal's website is very clearly laid out. The first page is his 'About Me' page and his full name and age. This is because it gives the person looking at it information without going to into detail. The employers will then get a sense of whether they want to work with this person from the start and therefore if they like it they are going to keep scrolling through however if they don't find this page interesting enough then they aren't going to read on. Therefore I think that the first page is the most important page in helping them into the industry. Alongside the first page. the other pages are very clear they are clear because on the education and experience page it is very clearly set out. I like the way that he had laid out the experience by showing when he started there, when he left, what he did and a little bit of information about what he did while he was there. Pascal has written the things that he thinks will make him look good and the things that someone scrolling through would take notice in as they would see that he has experience with certain kinds of software's.

Out of all of the websites I think that this one here is the easiest to use. The pages are very easy to find because as well as being able to scroll through each of the pages with a click of the mouse, there is also a side bar which has links to each of the pages. This makes it so easy to use so if a professional saw the first page and liked it they could very quickly and easily go to the 'Contact' page and get in touch with them and find out more.

The most unique thing about this blog is the interactive header as I stated above it is very unique because it shows the professional that they can very serious about there work and have put a lot of effort into their work. Another unique thing about this website is the way that the contact page is laid out I really like that it has four ways of contacting them, this shows that they are very up to date with social media and their surroundings. A professional would easily be able to contact them.

Walking Towards The Camera

Year Two kicked off with a task of 'Walking Towards The Camera.' We had to produce a class shot, a group shot (of around 6 of us) and a single shot. Then we would put them all together to make a walking towards the camera montage to the song 'All Night Long' by Lionel Ritchie. The idea behind this all was to make the college look 'cool' the song had a cool edge to it and therefore we had to find location that suited the 'cool' feel.

In this task I worked with Olivia Searle, Matt Jury, Chloe Binding, Sam Shaw, Kim Noot. Our idea was to shoot walking downhill, we came up with a number of ideas for our group shot but deciding to do one that was very similar to the 'Friends' sequence.
