uploading the work:
after the process of filming our TV idents, we were set the task of uploading the clips to imovie on the mac computers.
when importing we had to get the clips of the memories card which was in the camera we were using the previous lessons.
we started by openning the latest version on imovie as this is the only way in which we could upload the clips from the camera, due to the amount of clips which were already on the memories card it was a long winded process.
after this we moved into the older version of imovie where we transfered all the clips to after this we saved the project to make sure we would be able to access our clips for the next lesson.
the following lesson i sat down and cut all the clips into the right parts by using command [t] after this i placed the clips into the timeline were i was able to cut them even future and be able to make sure the whole ident was 30seconds or less as this is recommended amount of time for an ident.
in the end it turn out that the TV ident was 27seconds, this allowed us 3 seconds which we would be able to insert out on screen graphic (logo) and also the voice over

Filming of the TV ident for The Grid:
On the 11th February; George, Ben and myself went out and film the TV ident for the new and upcoming Television channel called The Grid.
we decided to work within the school area as this would mean we would have more time filming than getting to another place. We choice to use a meeting room which is located within the school, we had already booked to use this room and couple of weeks before hand.
period four we turned up to the lesson where we collected our camera and tripod. we then made our way to the meeting room to begin the filming.
Once we got into the meeting room, we took out our storyboards and decided on what shots we should do first, after setting up the camera on the tripod we were ready to go.
we started with a number of different shots of the rubiks cube, we choice to do this due to the fact that once we had uploaded the shots to imovie we could choose which shot would look the best on the screen.
we did this with all of the shots which we did as we wanted to make sure that we could pick the best well framed shot. we also did our shots from different angles to see if this would make any difference to how it would make the target audience feel towards the channel.
After a break we came back and decided to go and get some cut away to try and hope that the these would make the TV ident flow better.

Props:
As the TV channel is called the “The Grid” we have chosen to use an Rubik’s cube in our TV ident, we have chosen to do so because when looking at the face of a Rubik’s cube you will see it is that’s all of the faces are made up of grids and also the whole puzzle but together is also a grid.
The Rubik’s cube is very colourful and consists of six colours these are; red, blue, orange, green, white and yellow, the aim of this game is to get all of the colours on there own sides. As everyone knows this can be very challenging and also can take some time to do. Within our ident we have chosen it to create itself.
The main purpose of choosing a Rubik’s cube was because it is very colourful and also it represents most people, the Rubik’s cube is a very 80’s toy and is enjoyed by all ages. And also has many sides to the cube, and are many different ways which you can solve it. This could indicate that “The Grid” contains many different things and is very diverse .
Graphics:
the graphics for our TV ident for "The Grid" as you can see we have done a range of different colours and also different styles. we are going to try and recreate these on either photoshop or livetype. we have also decided that the one with the tick next to it is the one which we are likey to go ahead and use, we chose this as we wanted the logo to fit in with the kinds of idents which we will be using. and also in in a rubiks cube fashion. however we were thinking about changing the colours and also the font which we will be using.
Casting:
Within our group we have three people; we have decided that we will have a girl and a boy as this shows that the target audience for our channel will be both female and male.
myself and george will be the people who will be starring witin the TV Ident. aswell as starring in the Ident we will also be filming parts and editting it on the ident.
Ben will be filming most of the scenes as both me and george will be starring in them.
we chose myself and george as we wanted the target audience to see peoeple like themseleves on the televisio which would then make them want to watch "The Grid"
