My Groups Ideas

Louisa's Ideas...

My idea is to create a cardboard number 2 but without a front and back but just the sides, my idea is to light draw inside the box by colouring in the box.

Then the end result will somehow that the number 2 is shaded in.

Improving this idea I think instead of making a cardboard silhouette we should just create a big number two by drawing the number instead of using the cardboard. the number two will be a bigger size, and then the middle shall be shaded in.

My second Idea is to make a number 2 from cardboard or soe material and stick loads of leaves on top. of it so it looks like a number two covered with attached leaves.

I would then get loads of other leaves and pile them on top of the number and around it so the number is not seen at all.

I would then get a electronical fan and blow all of the leaves away from the area which leaves us with the number two left and the leaves attached.

Kayley's Ideas...

From looking at the different bbc2 idents on you tube I have got the idea of making a cup in the shape of the number 2 as well as putting the handle onto the side to make it more realistic. The cup would be made out of clear plastic so you can see the colour changing in the cup as we pour the liquid. The idea is to make a tea so when putting in the teabag, milk and hot water you can see it being made through the cup and making a tea will relate to the bbc2 ident as it comes up during a break and thats when you would have time to make a tea.

My Idea

My idea is to make a balloon ident. I have noticed BBC TWO have already created one before but I think we could re-make it and make it better. I have an idea to buy a massive number two balloon from a card/birthday shop and buy smaller versions if they are available to buy and set them off into the sky. I imagine that it would look good being set off in a field with the blue sky in the background. However, as it is winter it will be hard to find a day that it will be nice. Also, I think it would be quite hard to set them off into the sky as if it didn't work out then we wouldn't be able to re-catch the balloons. However, we could attach a clear wiring/string to the balloons so they could go off into the sky but so we could pull them back again.
If this idea to set them off into the sky wouldn't work then my plan B is to film it in the studio and set them off in the studio. As this will be an easier option as there is a limit to how high the balloons with go so this will help us not to lose them. However, this is the second option as they can't fly up that far it won't look as good.

Equipment we will use:
-Flip Camera
-Lighting (if we are doing Plan B)
-1 Big number 2 balloon
-4 Little number 2 balloons
-Clear wire
-Windows Movie Maker/iMovie (to edit the video)

BBC Two ident 2005 - Christmas


This is my favourite ident of them all as I like the sparkly to the advert. It is animated and would be hard to make myself as we don't have the equipment to make it. This is a christmas ident as you can tell as it has a sparkly to it which indicates it i related to christmas. It shows that BBC TWO change their idents to the events in the year.

BBC Two Christmas Ident 2011/2012 Moon/Sun HD


I think this is the creative one out of all the idents I have on my blog. As you wouldn't expect it to finish and be a BBC TWO advert when you first see it. It contains a lot of animation in a very creative way.

BBC2 Car ident 1997-2001


I like this is ident, as I think it is a funny and quirky little advert. I think this advert would re-inforce the BBC TWO brand, as it is creative and I think people will remember it.

Introduction to BBC Two Idents

We have been asked to create and film a BBC Two ident, within a group of 4/5 people. Within the groups we will be given specific roles to help the project run more smoothly. These roles are Camera Person, Lighting, Set Designer, Prop Stylist and Editor. The reason for this project is to extend our visual skills, composition, use of light, colour, lenses and perspective etc. The BBC 2 ident can be shot on location or in the studio.
The assignments aims are:
- To develop understanding of studio/location techniques for moving imagery media productions.
- To 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.

As my group, I am working with Kayley, Louisa and Samantha. Amongst us all we have decided what roles we would like to do throughout the project.
Kayley - Prop Stylist
Louisa - Camera Person & Set Designer
Me - Editor & Lighting Technician

I have researched a number of BBC 2 idents on youtube, to look at the past idents BBC 2 have produced. I will post a few above that I like.

Final Video

I'm overall a little disappointed on how my video turned out as you can tell they are taken as images in the change of the lighting. However, at the time I had the television on and didn't realise it affected the images as much as this.
