Reflective Journal

BA1a: 16/09/19 - 20/09/19: This was week 0, the beginning of my journey at university. During this week I enrolled onto the course and had many different activities to attend which allowed me to slowly settle into the new environment that I would be spending the next 3 years of my life in. I was...

Evaluation

After finishing the FMP I feel as though there are lots of good things that I accomplished alone side some not so good things that could do with improvement. The first point that I will address is my time management. I believe that throughout this project I stuck more or less to the schedule that...

FMP Production Diary

  WEEK 1 (19/03/18): This week I started off by looking at different idents seen on TV, I found multiple different examples from various different channels and analysed each ident inside of my blog. After I had done this for 4 different idents I then created a moodboard demonstrating what the logo at the end...

Creating the Ident (After Effects)

The very first thing that I needed to do was set up the document. To do this I looked at my proposal document filled in the necessary details. To begin the creation of my ident I first had to import all of the assets that I created beforehand from Illustrator into After Effects. This consisted...

After Effect Tutorials

Idents are most commonly seen in TV during breaks between programmes, however, they can also be seen in different areas of media such as the example I am doing which is to break up the Graduation Ceremony video....

On top of this, I will also be creating a ‘sting’ Ident which will play in between sections that will have...

On top of this, I feel that the fluidity of the website...
