TO DO!

build up carnival in the background
find/ make narration 'Ladies and Gentlemen Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth'

Ringmaster for intro

For my images i have collected images and vectorised them in illustrator, then worked into the image with details and colour within photoshop, if the image is moving then i have added layers to allow it to move.

Backgrounds for intro

Background for intro starts with landscape with funfair in the background, need to create a dark landscape.

Title Sequence storyboards

Audience

The crit yesterday highlighted that i still hadn't chosen a channel this is something i asked within my crit but didn't really get a strong answer. So i have done a little research into each channel what their target audience is, what genres they show and what their style is to see what would suit my programme the most.
The programme is mainly for entertainment value and would attract a wide audience, it is for 16+, it would give an insight into the circus and its history keeping it entertaining and but slightly dark and creepy carnival feel. I have been quite confused which channel my programme would appear on, i have researched into different channels and identified bbc3 or bbc4 to use categories in which this would fall into.

Looking at the style i want to work in i think my programme would be most suited for bbc 3 as it has a more light hearted nature and is a more entertainment channel, bbc 3 also targets the right age group.

Problems to address.

Using the inside of circus tent for set for the main part of title sequence restricts the movement. Look at using cameras building up layers creating depth and zooming into it through the acts...

First trial using cameras!
Based on ident storyboard ideas, using type and image together

Crit 2

Summary:

Image with type works well, i have shown a good understanding of subject through research.

More development needed. Stronger imagery needed, maybe not photography just all illustration.

Problems... using set as a frame!

Action Plan:

Type/ Layout for title

Personality & Hierachy

 I chose cadburys as the opposite product, one that doesn't suit the type as everyone knows the type to be a script type, very flowing and decorative.

 Using the info given make a list of hierachy and put the info into a 60mm x 30mm ad for yellow pages.

Homework

Bring in hard copy A4 Journal for 27.01.11.

Analysed, written and explored.

Collected and understanding.

Collect 6 product names that function well and 6 that don't, font, weight, size, case.. (colour).

Key characteristics, personality, what does it say.

How could it be improved?

Collect 4 pieces of hierachy info from yellow pages, 4 good and 4 bad!
