Our group has now finished filming the footage for our music video and are well in to the way of the editing stage. We are keeping as close as possible to our original storyboard, but since creation of the storyboard we have all had seperate ideas and we are all going to create an individual music video from the footage we have collectively gathered. When editing our videos we all realized how we don't really have any happy scenes in the video, mostly sad moments. This has made us decide to add another scene in the music video of Dan ripping up the picture of the mysterious lady in the photograph and replacing this with other girls whom could be his girlfriend, the idea is to let the viewer decide. A potential issue is if we do not portray this how we intend then the viewer may think that all of these girls have hurt Dans feelings in some way so we need to portray that Dan is happy when replacing the original mysterious lady with new pictures. The media we thught of using for this was stop motion, all the group has had good experience with this and it would bring an iconic scene to the music video.
Through out the filming process I have played a multitude of roles including directing the order in which the production process is going, I have played a role in making sure we stick to the story board as well as ensuring there

Questionnaire Findings
12:49
Below are the findings to our questionnaire.
We asked all of our class and the ident we decided to show was mine. We surveyed two females and twelve males.
Most people said the ident was good, a few said the ident was very good and one person said the ident was bad. 100% of our surveyed audience said that the idents soundtrack was ideal, that it represented the media department well, that they like the storyline, and that they like the characters. Eight people said that this could be the official media ident where six people said this should not. Twelve people in our surveyed audience said that the ident can be improved.
Ident Evaluation

As you can see by the post below I have now finished my ident production. I really enjoyed working on this unit and I felt I had a great group that allowed everyone in the group to make progress effectively and quickly.
Overall I am quite pleased with the finished production that I have created, I like how I have superimposed the morph character in the same shot as the penguins falling off their chairs as my original plan for this was to use intercutting to get this shot.
To put the entire ident project together I used Power Director 9, to create the ending title scene on the blue background I used Adobe Photoshop CS5 and used 98 images to create that. The sound track is accredited to the BBC for their 'Morph' series and with thanks to YouTube for providing the track.
To improve on this project I believe we could have taken more shots to make for a clearer transition between shots and then this could have been sped up but I feel the timing of the ident was great, because the title credits were so flexible this could be sped up to make the ident 10 seconds long or as it is now is a few milliseconds off from being exactly 15 seconds. The groups aim was to each create a seperately edited ident aiming for this time and I feel that we all managed to make our idents flexible enough to maintain this time zone so if a channel needed to set a different time for their idents then the idents would be simple enough to get the exact timing that the broadcaster would need.
I feel the quality of my ident is good, I managed to create the end titles in 1080p in Photoshop, the images of the penguins and morph were taken in 8 megapixels and the entire project was exported in AVCHD format 1080p.
I think that our ident suits the target audience as we have kept the ident really clean, simple and to the point by not overcrowding sets, adding extravagant amounts of detail and keeping the camera steady in taking shots. We also used bright colours such as the background as well as the titles being white upon a blue background. Wealso kept in mind the needs required for such a diverse establishment, we feel that the title of our ident is what makes the ident. It is very visible, bright, bold and stands out.
The ident is very brandable as it is not aimed at any particular season, style, colour variant or genre of media. The ident could be used at the end of a performance, before title credits, at the end of showcased work or before a motion film picture.

Below is a video of my completed ident project, it is 1080p HD and I created it using Power Director 9. I made the blue title sequence using Adobe Photoshop CS5 and that used 98 frames. The video is the green screen footage of the penguins and morph. I super imposed the video of morph in front of the penguins in the shot where the penguins fall down.
Stop Motion Animation Research (For a TV Ident)

Dominating children's TV stop motion programming for three decades in America was Art Clokey's Gumby series, which spawned a feature film, Gumby I in 1995, using both freeform and character clay animation. Clokey started his adventures in clay with a 1953 freeform clay short film called Gumbasia which shortly thereafter propelled him into his more structured Gumby TV series.
Rankin/Bass is a very famous stop-motion company. Since the 1960s it has been making many stop-motion Christmas specials such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The Year Without a Santa Claus, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and many others.
In November 1959 the first episode of Sandmännchen was shown on East German television, a children's show that had Cold War propaganda as its primary function. New episodes are still being produced in Germany, making it one of the longest running animated series in the world. However, the show's purpose today has changed to pure entertainment.
In the 1960s, the French animator Serge Danot created the well-known The Magic Roundabout which played for many years on the BBC.
The British artists Brian Cosgrove and Mark Hall (Cosgrove Hall Films) produced a full length film The Wind in the Willows and later a multi-season TV series The Wind in the Willows based on Kenneth Grahame's classic children's book of the same title. They also produced a documentary of their production techniques, Making Frog and Toad.
