BBC2 Tent Festival (Glastonbury 2011) -- Ident from the June 2009 set

i like this indent because i like how it resembles the program thats on next and the number two is really clear. this is one of my favorite ones because it is clear and clever.

BBC 2 indent 2011 (Read description)

 here is a indent i like and i found interesting. i like how they dont make it to complicated.

Week 4 - making the number two

today we are making our number two using white foam board, we are drawing around it and cutting it out, then we are paper mashing it and painting it white to make it stand out and look more bolder. then we are cutting out about 7/8 number twos then place them together too make a 3D number two.

we have done clips of the making of the number two.
we came in and used other time during college to finish creating our number two because it wouldnt have dryed and wouldnt of been finished in time, we had to paper mashe it. Then we had to paint it so it was ready for wednesday so we could shoot our final one.
Once it was ready we took it into the studio and did about 3 test shots to see what we could make better or improve.
in the studio we used;
we used a simple table to place the tray on which held all the skittles in and be the main base for our bbc indent and final video.

we only used 2 or 3 studio lights which were focused on the table, we didnt need to use all the lighting. We used a flip camera to record the video.

Skittle idea

For our final idea of our BBC indent we have decided to base it around skittles. Last week we shotted and tested how we our going to do the indent, we did different idea's to see which was most interesting and which one worked best.

For the first idea we placed 2 bags of skittles in  the middle of the tray, and then we dropped the number 2 into the middle of the skittles, this made the skittles all go everywhere, this is what we wanted to happen however we are going to use more bags of skittles so it goes everywhere more. 

Then we did another idea and moved the skittles around the number two mold, then we moved the mold of the two away so it was just left with the number two shaped out in skittles. We did loads of video's to practice.

For another one we tryed was having the skittles in      the same colours shaped in a number two, then we removed the colours separately to see what it would look like, like the video shows, then we dropped our model of number two in the tray.
i researched some channel 2 indents on youtube and these are the ones i like below. 

BBC2 ident.

For this assignment we are asked to create and film a new ident for BBC2. These are short adverts shown in-between programs. The reason we are creating a video shoot is to extend your visual skills, composition, use of light, colour, lenses and perspectives etc...  We can create your BBC 2 ident either on location or in studio, the number 2 can be created any way we wish. at the end of this assessment we must have a BBC 2 ident lasting to 10-30 seconds, a blog website containing research, ideas, thoughts and final evaluation. And a completed Studio Lighting Plan of your final studio shoot.
The The deadline of this project is 6 weeks from now.
We are working in groups of 5/6, each person has a different role such as '
- camera man (danie jones) - DV video camera operator
- lighting (Tisha Hawkins-me) - Studio lighting or daylight & use of light meter
- props stylist(sammy Bebbington) - To source props and adjust styling during shoot.
- set designer(MollyBurton) - Make use of college departments and varied resources.
- &Editor -Jordon Axford) - Concentrate on editing software.
however we will all work together and help each-other.
The aims of this assignment is:
- To develop understanding of studio / location techniques for moving imagery media productions.
- To develop design methods, techniques, and technologies.
- To produce experimental studio / day light lighting techniques.
- To develop skills when filming with a DV digital video camera and tripod.
- To develop skills when editing with video software and audio techniques.

Throughout this we are encouraged to be as creative as possible. 
- we must feature a number 2 within our ident.
- it must last for 10-30-seconds and be saved as a .Mov file. Playable in quicktime.
- The sound must be ambient in nature and appropriate for your theme, also no voiceover or inappropriate music.

For research in this project we must research TV idents, TV, Film, adverts using youtube.
Materials are High quality props, the number 2 will need to be finished to a high standard in whatever type of material you see fit. we have to use the template for number 2 to create our version. we also need to use making tape, bulldog clips, G-clamps, string cotton, scissors, craft knife, paintbrushes, etc.


IDEAS

1 idea we came up with was using skittles, we were thinking we could use a large amount of skittles and empty them all into the tray then we would drop the number 2 in the tray of skittles so the skittles would fly out. Then we would edit it so it would be slow motion so the skittles would be flying out the tray slowly.

another idea we came up with is a 'human number two' For this we would have about 20 people to create the number two. So it would be more interesting they would walk into there number two, they would stand still for about 10 seconds, we would be filming it from above so it would be a birds eye view of it.

our third one we are going to have a plastic number two full of water then recording the red food colour dropping into the water in slow motion, we want it to make nice patterns in the water so we wouldn't drop alot in it at first so it would be moving slowly in the water.
