Why we chose Channel 4?
We chose channel 4 because, we felt that the ident of the channel are aimed towards people of our age. This gave us a lot of ideas in what we could base our ident around.
Channel 4 use landscapes alot in their indents, so we chose to do two landscapes in one ident.
How we chose our final idea
We chose our final ideas of using two landscapes because, no other channel 4 ident landscapes has two landscapes in, so we thought this would be a twist to the channel.
We had many different ways in which to chose our final idea such as a survey around our local area through e-mail. We asked 10 different multi-choice questions and got an average for each answer to the questions to choose our final idea.
How we developed our ideas
We developed our ideas by all coming up with an idea and sharing it around the group, if we had any ideas which linked in anyway or we liked a specific idea, we would create an ident out of the ideas we came up with.
How we made our ident
We made our ident completely out of modelling clay. The props we created were trees, a volcano, a little spark and we used a lego man.
We set out all the trees at a POV (point of view) and followed the spark through the woods which eventually lead to a volcano.
The volcano starts erupting whilst the spark starts climbing up the volcano and falls into the volcano and then the pour our lava which is bit of red clay we added after each photo to create a 4 in the middle of the lava.

31. Revised Proposal+ Planning
Concept or idea
my advert is very simple but also very effective. a spark is lit, we then follow the spark through different landscapes such as a Forest, City scape, and then finishes going trough a beach. The spark then goes up a volcano and stops half way up. The volcano then Erupts, the lava explodes and falls down the side of the volcano. The lava is then shaped into the number '4'.

The spark then goes up a volcano and stops half way up. The volcano then Erupts, the lava explodes and falls down the side of the volcano. The lava is then shaped into the number '4'.
There will be different types off noises for the different locations we have chosen. For example the forest there will be noises such as birds and wind in the trees, for the city scape there will be people talking and car horns going off, then for the beach will be the waves braking and finally our last noise will be a bang for the volcano erupting. Our animation will be of the spark as i will be in a cartoon format.
Purpose
The advert we have designed I feel will catch the audiences attention but also will be very relaxing throughout. when the volcano erupts it will be exciting and different making the audience excited and interested, ready for the program that is going to be played.
We have chosen various location as we feel that they are very different to each other and very unique. Each location has it own personality, their own special features that defines and show them apart. Many things are linked and different in the world. The locations we have chosen all have different elements that go on within them.
Key Context.Our advert will be around approximately 15-20 seconds.
We will have many different locations throughout our ident. places such as a Forest, city scape, beach and a volcano.
Our main 'character' is our animation of our spark that is shown throughout 90% of the advert.
Our camera will follow the spark through the different locations we have chosen.
There will be different sounds for our different location. forest; birds and animal noises. City scape; car noises and horns. beach: waves braking. volcano; big bang.
Target audience.
My advert will appeal to the ages of people from 14-40. this means that my advert with appeal to very young people as well as older people catching the eye and entertaining viewers of all ages.
the genre of my advert is a bit of comedy with a Genre called 'slice of life'.
Our age target is around 14-40 year olds.
Our advert is aimed at both Male and Female.
I feel that this idea will be successful because it is different. It uses the concepts of other Channel 4 idents. takes there ideas and puts it all into 1. This idea is unusual and unique is has many different stages and ideas instead of using them separately we have put them together, condensed them down and made a different type of advert which can be changed into loads of different adverts in the future.
Conventions.
I feel this advert will catch the eye of many viewers, it is different to others, and I have taken past questionnaires and used people of the public to get feedback to make my advert the best it can be. However I have still kept the main concept of previous channel 4 adverts and have put it into my ideas and also put my own spin on it.
I feel that my advert is very creative. there are many different things going on that all link with each other. There is also animation which I feel fits it with real life scenes very well. it is a quick and catchy advert making sure the viewer doesn't get bored throughout.

29. Expansion of ident
Due to the design and layout of out ident, we have decided that we would need to make other indents similar to the one we have created. We found with our other ideas it could be a challemge to fulfil that goal.
The final chosen idea of our ident made this a lot easier. In every ident we created we would stick to having a main 'character' like E4 Eefer. Ours would be the spark. Within the ident we created the spark is lit, travelling through a forest and then onto a feild until it
Reaches the mountains where it travels up a volcano. The volcano then erupts, the lava crashing down the side of the volcano moulding round rocks. Once the lava has moulded it creates the number 4. We felt that this spark could travel the world. Follower img a fuse to many famous and also not so famous places, in each ident exploring the different kinds of nature.
The way the ident will finish will be due to what the spark was traveling through, not all of our idents can finish with a erupting volcano.
How will our indents finish?
Well prior to the creation on our ident we did have various ideas to how we wanted to finish the ident, however we liked the idea of the volcano best. We thought due to the situation of where the spark is travelling then it will help us decide what kind of finish we would have to each individual ident. The endings we came up with we thought still could make an outstanding ident.
Ideas for future idents.
The spark can travel through a city and go into the power supply, when the camera zooms out and gets a bids eye veiw of the city then the spark has ligh up buildings that are layed out to create the 4
When finished travelling up to the sun through space then the sun will explode and what is left after creates the cumber 4.
Traveling through mountings the spark creates an avalanche when the Avalanche is finished all you see at the bottom of the mountains is the snow however the snow falls around the Rick creating the 4.
We have come up with many ideas so we can expand out original idea on further. We want each idea to be unique and different, but also keep one element the same to show they are related. 'The spark'. The spark will appear in every ident we produce as we feel it is a good focus point and also exciting towards the viewers.

35. Ident screen grab annotation
above is where i have added the sound over the top of the video i have converted the music from youtube and then placed it into final cut. The noises i have chosen fit the forest and volcano erupting to give it more effect.
here are only some off the shots i have taken to create this ident. i had to take many different photos of slow movement of the clay, then i have cute them down and sped up each photo so it all links together well.

- The main actors will be behaving like they normally would, they are all very good friends and will be having a laugh acting normally. we want to capture a Normal realistic feel to the video instead of acting.
- As a group we have decided not to have one main actor. We wanted to have everyone in the group of 'best friends' to play the same part all having the same amount of time on and off the camera.
- We have chosen these actors due to the fact off the camera they are all very close friends even when the camera isn't rolling. They still have a laugh and act exactly the same as they do when on camera

I am writing to ask permission to use your music 'waiting all night'. Firstly before i start I would like to introduce myself,I am a BTEC media student studying at Ravens Wood School. For my first year at Ravens Wood I have been looking and learning about music videos, we have now been set a task to create our own music video.
Me and the other students i am working with thought that your song 'waiting all night' would be the perfect choice for us, we are all very fond off this song and feel we can create a video good enough to impress you. we would love to have permission to use your song due to the fact we have many ideas for it already.
Our main idea is spending the day up London. we want to film a group of best friends having fun and spending time together up London we would film this throughout the course off the day getting different clips of exciting activities we are doing. also we would film the scenery around us to engage our viewers, tying to make then feel like they are their as well For this idea i and my peers thing that 'waiting all night' will fit very well with the concept as it is mainly aimed at the youth.
If you accept us to use this song, then we will be very grateful and send you our final product.I feel the video we will create will be very successful, due to the fact we have very talented editors and actors. I also feel that this could promote your song around my school and also out to many others relating to the school.
