Top 10 - Packaging designs

I wanted to use the film reel I used throughout my title sequence and idents as a basis of my packaging design. One initial idea I had was to use this as way of accessing the CD - possibly perforated. The reel could be situated in the centre of a box which can be separated into two drawers by removing the perforated film reel. This reveals an insert underneath - maybe a perfect mould for a CD case? Or the CD itself?

Top 10 - Ident 4

(1) I decided that when the background appears, the Harry Potter glasses are already positioned in the centre as it seemed to fit in sync with the music moreso than if it were to appear from outside the frame.





(2) The scar appears on the 3 main beats in the track

Top 10 - Ident 3

(1) Final rollover appears from the top of the frame. As the backgrounds are exactly the same for both the bridesmaids sequence and the channel info, this transition does not work as well as the other idents (which  have contrasting backgrounds).

(2) Circular transition enlarging from the centre

(3) Background appearing from the right of frame

Top 10 - Ident 2

(1) Using the Inbetweeners Movie as the basis of my second ident. In this example, I have looked at solely incorporating the tie though the final outcome lacks substance. I have again used the scrolling text effect, landing on the inbetweeners instead.

(2) Added beer bottles in quick succession immediately after the film reel - possibly too fast? There are several timing issues which I need to resolve for the final ident.

(3) Bottles appear later and scrolling text appears mid-way through the beer bottle segment. The timing now seems more fluid.

Top 10 - Ident 1

I have chosen to do 1 film per ident therefore I chose the 4 sequences I believed to be the most effective and would work within the limited time frame. For the first ident, I chose 'The King's Speech' as I like the way the microphone pulsates in sync with the 3 beats of the track.

I used the following type sequences from Sherlock as inspiration for my scrolling text:

For the scrolling text, I simply used an extended paragraph which is hidden by shapes filled with the same colour as the background. There is probably a more efficient way of resolving this but as my video features solid backgrounds, I decided to use this process (I should really look into how to achieve this).

As I wanted to give the impression the text was scrolling on a wheel and ending on one line of text, the natural motion would be for the wheel to slow nearer to its end - quick entrance, slow end. I altered the speed graphic to try and achieve this, as seen below:

(1) Based on my storyboards, I started the ident with the film reel that is featured in the beginning and end of my title sequence. This is subsequently followed by red circle which increases in scale and forms the background for the King's Speech segment. Aforementioned, I incorporated the pulsating microphone and positioned the keyframes in sync with the track.

(2) A dark grey background appears from the top of the frame to form a uniform background for the channel information - this will be featured in all of the idents to create a consistent identity. This was based on my initial design ideas.

(3) I altered the speed graph of the grey background to create a more fluid and smooth transition. It enters at a quick pace and slowly reaches the bottom of the frame.
