BBC 2 Ident ideas.

For this assignment we have been set a task to make our own BBC ident. We are going to work in groups with up to 5 people in and this will take us six weeks to complete. We have to make our own BBC ident. Each person will be set a role to do within making it - the roles are:
- Camera man - Danie Jones 
- Lighting - Tishaa Hawkins 
- Prop Stylist - Sammy Bebbington (ME) 
-  Set Designer - Molly Burton 
- Editor - Jordon Axford 
The team leader will also be - Molly Burton 
We have all chose to take lead in these certain role's but we will all work together as a team throughout the six weeks. 
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. We are hoping to shoot our film in the studio, using the studio lights and background.


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 


Research: 
For our research we must look at TV, film,adverts etc. For this we can use youtube. 


Materials:
For the materials we use, we must try and use high quality props - the construction of our '2' will need to be completed at a hight standard - a design will need to be created for this.
 Materials we will need for the skittles idea: 
- A tray (large scale) - we might be able to borrow this from the art department - if not we will make/buy one.
- skittles (8 Bags?) - we will all buy a few bags each
- Letter '2' - this will be made out of cardboard and we will all make this together 


Here are some examples of indents off the BBC One website - http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/idents/

IDEAS:
1) So far we have come up with the idea of using skittles. We would use a large amount of skittles (24-bags) and empty all the skittles out into a tray this would be painted white the same colour as the letter 2 that we make - the number '2' that we created would then be dropped into the middle of the tray sending the skittles in all different directions, Creating a dramatic effect. And sending a range of bright colours in all different directions. When this was to be edited we would make it into slow motion so you can capture the effects more.
For example we will use the things below: 

2) The second idea is a 'Human number two' - For this we would used 14-20 people to create the shape of a number 2. To make this more interesting than just people standing in the shape of a number 2, they would start outside the located area , wile filming and then they would all walk in and take there place in the number 2 - they would stand still for about 10-seconds and then exit out of the located/filmed area again. This idea would be filmed from up above from a building window. So you are getting a birds eye view of whats happening - making it more interesting to watch. 

^ In each sections of this number two above  we will have a person standing to create the right shape.

3) For the 3rd idea we would create a plastic number 2, but this would not have a top layer on it as we would fill the inside with water and would need to keep the top open and clear. Our idea after this is to get red food coloring and slowing from above us a pep-pet to drop a single drop of food colouring into different areas of the number to , so bit by bit it will creatively change colour to red. Hopefully making nice patterns etc. We will have to have towels etc on stand by incase we aren't successful with the food colouring. 

- We get the idea and hope it will look something like this: 

- The design for our plastic/clear number to will be something like this: 

This number 2 will be about and inch to two inches deep - this is so there is then enough space for the water to go in and so we can see the effect and change the food colouring makes to the water.
