editing the work (Unit 32 Task 3)
We are coming to the end of our editing and Kelly has done is very cool job editing our film with help from me and George. With the variety of shots, music and sounds we have we had more than enough to work with. The ident has a Guerilla style music video look to it with the dance music playing through out the vid relating to the type of channel the ident is for. To create this Kelly used a lot of video effects and other editing techniques playing around with the lighting and colours as well as slowing down and speeding up the video. Once we Finnish this we can upload it to YouTube and then get feed back from the public as well as each other.
Uploading all the work (Unit 32 Task 3)
We all uploaded our work to the new imovie and then moved it to the older version for editing with the amount of shots we had it took a while to upload all of them but its done and now we can start editing.
Filming of our Ident (Unit 32 Task 3)
during the filming of our ident we decided to film in the meeting room in the 'J block' We had our story boards and filming equipment ready and set up and began filming earlier than expected we managed to shoot our shots within 2 lessons. This put us ahead of our shooting schedule so we started shooting additional shots and reshot old ones the next lesson. During our filming we kept coming up with different ideas of what we could shoot or do during the editing so we ended up with twice of the amount of shots we intended to have. We were able to shoot so much because the room was quite and had little distractions giving us the means to shoot a lot in little time. In final I am very pleased with how our shooting went as well as what results we had.

‘The GRID’ Ident revisions and decisions (Unit 32 Task 3)
We were set this assignment at the beginning of the year our task was to create an idea for a series of idents for a new channel ‘The GRID’. It was a music channel that would also feature both American and British TV shows such as ‘Family Guy’ and ‘Skins’ with a targeted audience of males and females aged 18 to 30. I was put into a group with George Proctor and Kelly Wooldridge. We all immediately started planning by doing spider diagrams on what our target audience would enjoy and find entertaining in an ident. We decided on an energetic, musical party theme for our idents as it fitted with both the shows featured on the channel a well as the target audience.
During the planning stages of our idents we split up into 2 separate groups Kelly and George planned Ident 1while I planned the ident 2. When I finished planning Ident 2 George and Kelly had planned the storyboard, the shooting schedule and were preparing to shoot the ident. The story of the ident takes place in a working environment were people are trying to complete the rubiks cube passing it around the table without anyone being able to complete it. We wanted this to be funny to the our viewers who are working young adults who would find the fact that people at work are getting stressed over the rubiks cube instead of dead lines and hours.
Early in our planning we decided we wanted a rubiks cube in our idents because it associates with the word grid and is multi coloured. This was supposed to be a similar iconic logo as the red circular objects in the BBC1 idents. After we were finished shooting our ident we started our work on music, title, and editing. As soon as we finished filming I went hunting for dance music (because its energetic and gives the viewer that party feeling) I found some on Freesound.com that seemed to fit what we were looking for we agreed on it and began editing it into our ident.
At the same time George began working on the title for ‘The GRID’ on live type we wanted the background of the title shot to have the Rubiks cube. We also wanted it to be multi colourful so it fit in well with the rubiks cube in the background. When he finished Kelly then added this to her edited cut of the ident. Kelly also did a fantastic job editing the ident her choices of effects and piecing together of the shots. The effects she used really emphasized the theme of a party as well as playing with the playing speed of the clips. We are all proud of this ident and the way it turned out and are pleased to see the positive feedback.

Ident 3 location (Unit 32 Task 2)
We chose these locations for our ident because there areas we chose kind of look like a town centre or some sort of administration buildings were the hero 'Griddy Boy' is accepting his award for defeating we also thought the locations would also help show that the event is being televised by the local news station.
Ident 3 story board (Unit 32 Task 2)
Ident 3 takes place in the same universe as the other idents in the ident the superhero 'Griddy Boy' arrives in Grids vill to complete the impossible rubiks cube. He ends up completing the rubiks cube and is awarded by the mayor with a certificate with the words 'the grid' on it. While this is going on the event is being covered by Grid news as seen in the story board.
