Top 10 - Channel info

Re-creating the BBC three logo - I found out the font used within the BBC branding is Gill Sans though as seen below, neither the regular or bold weight seemed to match so I decided to stick with the regular weight.

The paths are off slightly and the weight of the 'BBC' font is lighter (the bold weight is too heavy) but I will go ahead and use these within my idents to keep a sense of authenticity.

Top 10 - Ident storyboards

I intend on deriving my idents from the final title sequence which is why I spent the majority of my time focusing solely on the 60sec animation. I initially thought on having 1 or 2 films per ident and finishing with the channel (BBC three, time, date etc).

However, I have decided to use the idea of having the film reel initiate the ident (much like the title sequence) as this encompasses film in general (and not just Super 8) followed by just one movie. The ident will end with the info being revealed on the 3 beats of the backing track.

I looked at a range of different text / info compositions to see which was the most effective. As the ident ended with 3 strong beats which I have used as markers throughout my title sequence, I decided for the information to be revealed in sync with the track. 

Top 10 - Icon development

I have experimented with various icon arrangements to see whether I could incorporate this into the idents or the DVD packaging. It could form the ending of the idents (image 5) or the main imagery for the packaging - encompassing all of the top 10 films.

Fills and strokes - random arrangement, no particular shape

Just strokes - Needs more variation

Top 10 - Title Sequence

The final title sequence combining all the top 10 films of 2011. 

I decided to switch the final typeface from Nevis to Gotham as it seemed more striking in comparison.

Top 10 - Title / Ending

Here I have experimented with different title sequence endings, keeping the aesthetics fairly minimal to match the imagery. I then decided to incorporate the film reel I included at the start of the title sequence in order to highlight the start and end as a reflection on how films used to be shown on reels. Fortunately, the backing track ended on the 3 main beats which I have been continuously using to indicate the pace of the video

(1) Reel enters and leaves the screen on pre-existing green background leaving the type to form on the 3 main beats.

(2) Paul segment finishes on the 3 main beats 1 - alien, 2 - alien disappears, 3 - black background appears. The reel enters the same way as the previous example.

(3) Continuous film reel with type appearing on the reel itself. Will go ahead with this version.
