Consulting with the client i/ii

When the client came into the CTK building he talked to us about what the idents should look like and what the CTK actually means so he talked to us about the color scheme how it had to be purple but not only that but he didn't want to leave any subjects out like science, english and maths we had to explain as a team why we wanted to do what we wanted to do so we said that this would be boring and would not appeal to adults this is why we said that making the idents about the various activities of enrichment would be much more appealing to them. We had to do this because we want our idents to be highly sophisticated and interesting to look at so we consulted with the client telling him why english and maths would be boring and it wouldn't appeal to teenagers.

We then created the storyboards for the ident as we all came up with one idea each we all did the storyboard of our idea. that way when we had to talk to the client again we explained why our ideas would appeal to teenagers especially. We did agree with the client on a number of things though we thought that the logo can help a lot due to its circular design. this would have been easy to animate as well. One of the questions we asked was about the colour scheme and what would be appropriot so we then got our answer from the client and he said the best colour would be the collage colour which would be purple so we asked to see if we could use any other colours and we were able to deduce that we were able to use many colours for the moving image but the logo had to be in its purple colour.

This was an example of discretion as we wanted to unlock as much of the creative potential we could so when we talked about the colour changes we were being discrete as the colour are the most important factors for an ident. this is because not all colours are appropriate as in some professional idents bright colours are not particularly preferred as the colour can have a slight change of sound. the is why we were being discrete with the client we liked the idea of purple but this would have to be a neutral purple so not too dark not too bright.

Conclusion: In total we were able to be extremely free with our creativity which would help us to make the best ident we could. We were given a nice access to color as well which made the ident designs for our group much more vibrant and exotic this then was when we talked to the client about our ideas and to see of we could create them. The client was happy to let us start filming this idents.

Opportunities were working with the client to fill the brief and I was able to expand our creativity the reason why we wanted this was to be free with our work and enjoy filming it. Another reason is that we can make the idents look more like idents this way we could work hard into making our ident package interesting.

Planning was quite simple as we laid it out clearly how we wanted to make these idents this is because planning would be the most important step in our production. We had to remake the production plan as we were missing some of the information. We laid out the idents in an order and that we would complete one of the idents each. Another would work on the animation this is how we planned it out.

I developed many new skills during this production even skills I have never used before. with this unit I learned how to use animation and I quickly adapted to this new style of editing I learned by creating a stick figure when I created this I followed up with an animation transforming the stick figure into a logo. I quickly learned how to use this new skill so I then decided to push myself further.

I created an art style of an insect man this I then animated by rotoscoping which was one other skill I picked up.

I quickly found myself as the team animator and I quickly adapted to this skill and I found that this was very time consuming.

This was one of the best ways to make our project stand out the way we had to manage time was hard as one person would have to animate the work we filmed so I decided I wanted to do the animation I would turn up to the shoots and as we were finished I would start animating while the group would work on the next Ident.

Multi-skilling was hard to manage as w relied on it a lot as the team were working on an ident I would use the time to animate the first ident this was still a good way to manage time as we were completing multiple tasks at once.

I contributed by working on the animation of the project this way I was able to do the long tasks while my group went out to film the idents when they brought one back I would have finished the first ident I started on, this would save time and make it easier for my group as this would take the weight off of there shoulders.

Amendment to Budget

I amended a list of things on my budget firstly I went back and looked for the right prices for the equipment I used an example of 200 to 600 pounds for exampleI also went and looked for a graph for London underground travel costs. This was then a more clear description of the prices needed for the products required for the production. I also added bus costs for oyster and i found it was £1.50 these were the final things I changed for the budget but the last thing I had to do was look for the individual prices for props that are going to be used.
