Task 2

My First Proposal For The 'PHM' Ident
Lego blocks and Plastercine, in the background we will have ‘PHM’ to represent Park Hall Media; the ‘PHM’ will be a maze for Pac-man and the ghost to go around. There will be white plastercine balls dotted around the board for Pac-man to collect.
We hope with our ident that we will achieve the best possible grade and hope it will be as professional as possible; we researched other animations and ident’s and used our research to create the best possible animated ident that we feel could be created.  We feel if we if we use a basic storyline for Pac-man we will have much more professional ident than if we created out own storyline.
We are close to finishing the planning and as soon as we do we can start making the ident and have it edited together as soon as possible, we are using Power director 9 to edit the images to make the perfect stop animation ident.






My Final Proposal For The 'PHM' Ident




For our ident we have decided to do a pac-man based ident, we will use Lego blocks and Plastercine to make the background and to make the characters, in the background we will have ‘PHM’ to represent Park Hall Media; the ‘PHM’ will be a maze for Pac-man and the ghost to go around. There will be white plastercine balls dotted around the board for Pac-man to collect, and the ghosts will be chasing Pac-man around the board and hopefully catch him, he will have three lives and once he is caught 3 times it will be game over.
We hope with our ident that we will achieve the best possible grade and hope it will be as professional as possible; we did alot of research for other idents to try and get the best possible outcome and we feel this research payed off,  We feel if we used the basic storyline for Pac-man we will have much more of a professional ident than if we created our own storyline, 
We are close to finishing the planning and as soon as we do we can start making the ident and have it edited together as soon as possible, we are using Power director 9 to edit the images to make the perfect stop animation ident.



We decided to make 4 different styles of Pac-man so we had enough back up work, we also did the same for the 4 ghosts as well.



When we created this ident we could come across a variety of different issues:
-          Computer failures
-          Insufficient products
-          Time difficulties
-          Copyright issues with song

We hope to make our ident successful and solve the problems that we come across.
