Task Three - Pre-Production Planning

Task Three - Pre-Production Planning

Proposal Prepared by Babajide Shokeye

Our NickToons ident will be set in school, inside a classroom where they appear from different things. For example, one of the letters will come out of a bag, another one will appear out of a pile of folders, and its just that type of idea that will appeal to the target audience who are the kids who go to school and watch cartoons. The location we would do it in is, Robert Clack School in the media rooms where its got the computers, tables for the students to make the target audience would know where its set at. This ident will conclude with all the letters coming together spelling out NickToons, so the audience know the channel.

Task Two – Designing the Suite

Task Two – Designing the Suite

In this task, I am going to elaborate on the three final ideas of why my posts are suitable for the channel, how they will appeal to the target and what time of day/year they are designed for. 

In this video, it shows all of the ideas of a suite for the channel called 'NickToons' a channel for kids. 

Idea 1

This idea was planned out to be a nice afternoon with the blue sky out with the sun showing all the letters that were orange which spelled out nick. Next set of shots, it would be set in the evening so the sun will set and the sky would be orange, so that it will be visible to view the letters. This idea would be shot during the afternoon till the evening, as this is a summer themed ident. So, this advertisement would be showcased during the summer time along the summer holidays as it fits, with the whole idea of putting a palm tree part of the idea which gave it even more of a summer feel. This will appeal to the target audience because, this ident uses a set of appealing colours which will catch the eyes of many kids. Also, as it will be shown on the channel, it also will be appealing as it keeps up with the summer season. 

Idea 2

The second idea was planned out to be for every single term, this is an everyday ident idea that they can show from time to time throughout the year. In this idea I thought of the letters going up against each other by facing off. So its team blue vs team orange, and in this each letter gets shown and in the end of this, all the letters come together to form Nicktoons. This is suitable for the channel because, it shows all the letters of the channels name, also the two colours are facing off as well so it can make the audience pick a side which they like. 

Idea 3

In the third idea, I was thinking of an idea of we are in a classroom, and I thought about whether letters should come out of different places of the classroom, and then they all meet in their final destination on a piece of yellow paper. Elaborating on when letters come out of different places of the classroom for instance, the orange 'n' in the beginning will come out of the orange recycling bin as they match colours. All the rest of the letters will come out of different parts of the classroom. This idea was mainly for the school term, this will be relatable to school children which is how it will appeal to the audience, showing them as well as you enjoy your cartoons enjoy school. This is suitable because, a large majority of kids go to school and kids love cartoons, so this will be really effective. 

Task One – Ideas Generation AS2

Task One – Ideas Generation

In this mindmap, I really expressed many ident ideas for the suite. This has been expressed through ideas such as the seasons, the colours that are going to be used, the sets where it may take place and if I were to implement the different holidays such as: Halloween, Easter and Christmas and many more.

On the mindmap, I implemented a blue vs orange idea where the two colours face each other through different sports. For instance, if it was a special week of american football, as they may be showcasing it on the weekend, the ident can then be based on american football where blue go up against orange. This shows that the ident keeps up with the event that is going on and it also supports and celebrates this event. Where it would be set is around the park, where the field can be fully expressed and so the audience can get a feel of what they might be able to watch in american football. 

Another thing that is placed on the mindmap is colours, on this ident colours would be linked back to the seasons, because then the target audience would know what season is being used. For example, if I was to use colours like blue, orange and yellow those colours would be suitable for a summer ident as they are bright and appealing colours. This can set in a beach with palm trees with the sun out with all the letters relaxing having  a good time in the summer term. 

The theme that is going to be worked on is the school term ident, this ident was thought of because of how this channel is watched by a lot of kids, so with this theme it will be relatable and make school seem fun by showing the letters coming out of places of the classroom, this is the main idea thats going to be done.  This specific idea would be showcased around the afternoon going on to the evening, it should be showcased through the school terms as kids would be coming back home to watch their television.
