First video

For a test video this was a simple idea and would have looked a lot better with a decent video camera. This was filmed on a flip camera which lacks quality. If we were to do this again we would have to make our own number 2 and film it on a DSLR camera with good video capabilities.

Experimentation

We first decided to try and experiment doing a video in the studio using a pre made see-through number 2. Inside and around we placed torches to light up the number 2 when the lights were turned off. In the background someone would be walking across behind the number 2 and then turn off the light. the sound effects would be someone whistling a tune and the light switch turning off. 

This was filmed using a Flip camera which we later found out lacked quality as you can see on our video above. If we were to do this again we would rectify this by using a higher quality video camera.

Research

I have found some examples of indents on the BBC website - http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/idents/

BBC Ident Introduction

For this assignment we have been asked to make our own BBC ident. Idents are the clips that are played before starting each program. Here are a few examples of past Idents. 

we are to work in a group of 5 to make our own BBC 2 ident. Each person will be given a set a role within the group - the roles are:

- Camera man - Lewis

- Lighting - Dylan - Prop Stylist - - Set Designer - - Editor - George (me)

We will have to sort everything out ourselves - the Idea of our BBC 2 Ident, Props and setting that we need, Materials, We will also have to do research on other BBC 2 Idents to help us get ideas. Our film/clip will last about 10-30-seconds. We are allowed to edit or final Ident on any program we like.

The aims of this assignment are:

- To develop understanding of studio/Location techniques for moving imagery media productions - 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 assignment we are encouraged to be as creative as possible: - The number '2' must be featured within our Ident - It must last for approx. 10-30-seconds - If sound is used it must be ambient in nature and appropriate for our theme - The idea we come up with must be practically possible to create
