Right... so me (Kenneth) and Natalie had arranged to meet up again to do some filming so I charged the camera at my house to make sure it was fully charged and living the life of a full battery meaning it wouldn't run out in no time. Like per usual the SNOW had to arrive and therefore this meant me and Natalie couldn't film due to the fact that had we had to re-film something we wouldn't have the snow available.
We have also contacted Emma and she had agreed to come meaning it could've been done and dusted but obviously the snow has stopped us all. So now we wait, waste time and hope for the snow/sludge to disappear asap as we are keen to get this sorted!!!
So the day has come and due to exams we have struggled to get the group together, myself (Kenneth) and Natalie have decided to film regardless to get this over and done with. We met up early in school to take out a school camera to realize it was completely dead!
We quickly rushed to Natalie's house, of which fortunately was in Borhemwood where we charged it. Later did we know how long it takes and the battery was dying within seconds (even after 45 minutes charge!!!!). Anyhoo, we decided to try and get to the RSPCA shelter and if it died there we would quickly charge it on one of the plug sockets they had available, later did we once again know the buses come every hour and we had just missed one! We begged to differ with waiting as we had other arrangements and it was getting late and dark (you've got to love Winter?) so we decided to go to a local park and film a few more people for our Vox Pop... WE THEN HAD THE TIMES OF OURS LIVES, every single person who was originally going to merely walk through the park avoided us by cutting through the grass or avoiding the track, we managed to film one lady with her sold who fortunately gave nice informative and long answers to our questions however it obviously wasn't enough.
Me and Natalie had got absoloutely frozen as we had to walk through the grass of which made our shoes soaking wet and obviously they weren't the adequate type like your typical walking boots. So.. we decided and said 'WHAT A FAIL' and rearranged to film another day and this time to go to the RSPCA shelter and get the news channel sequence over and done with like we had originally planned!!
Here's a picture of Kenneth and Natalie's feet! :(
Having now prepared our script it was time to discuss Costume, Make up, Weather and Transport...
We decided that Emma should wear smart casual clothing as our news channel package was aimed for the younger generation and not the older generation. When selecting things through her wardrobe we decided jeans were a NONO and therefore looked for trousers of which made her look elegant, we also decided 'HOODIES' and 'TRAINERS' weren't going to be on the list too and therefore looked for a smart top with an cardigan, alongside this we also decided to make her were 'flats' or 'smart casual shoes' this not being your ordinary vans or high top converses!
Alongside picking the costume for our News Channel Package we also had to discuss make up, we wanted a smooth and natural effect rather than a face bombarded in orange makeup making her look smart, elegant and sophisticated. We put natural skin colour blusher and foundation on alongside a touch of mascara and a little lip gloss and that was it. She is your typical and ordinary news reporter in a child's programme!
One more thing which we discussed and believed was important is WEATHER, we have decided to film on a nice bright clear day where the sky is bright and blue. We thought if there are heavy winds, rain, thunder/lighting or snow this could effect our news channel packaging greatly and therefore do not want to take the risk it may cause and due to this we are awaiting a nice day (although through the help of the internet we can tell in advance what the weather will be like!)
Last but not least, TRANSPORT was one of our main priorities. Unfortunately wanting to film during the week we would struggle to get lifts off of our parents due to there work commitments and due to this we are relying on public transport. Having looked on the internet for directions, routes and so on we have decided to get the 292 from school (Mill Hill County High School) to Borhemwood Broadwalk and from there we can get an UNO bus of which will take us to where the RSCPA Animal Shelter is. We decided to go to Southridge RSPCA Shelter as it is the nearest and easiest to be accessed, although we have come prepared! We emailed and phoned the shelter and spoke to one of the managers who has kindly given us permission to film there! :D
We now have everything planned and all we have to do is film! Hip hip horrayyyy from TEAM RAFA :)
We've finally made our script for our News Channel Package! We used Microsoft Word where we created a template for our sequence of which has 3 collums. 1 for what is happening within the scene, another of the timing and another stating what will be said within the scene by the 'News Reporter'. We stuck to the criteria of how a script should be presented using the font 'Courier New' in size 12.
We have uploaded our script onto this blog post to show you how far we have come in such little time, here it is! :)
Here is a quick picture of Natalie recording herself on the Mac Book seeing how long it takes to say each part of the script!

TIMING
SCRIPT
Emma Porter (reporter) walking towards camera. Location: Mill Hill Park.
10 seconds
In the media over the past year there have been over 6,000 reports on dogs such as the Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Pit-bull’s and so on attacking young children and members of the public.
Footage of people owning Staffordshire Bull Terriers and them behaving nicely. Footage of young children interacting with these dogs.
Location: Everywhere i.e. People houses, gardens etc.
20 seconds
It is our aim to educate you further on this topic that dogs such as Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Rottweiler’s and so on are actually beautiful 4 legged friends. The true side of a dog is shown through the upbringing, how they are treated although it is also thoroughly understood certain breeds do have different characteristics such as the Jack Russell’s being known as an ankle biters.
Images and Screenshots of previous news stories regarding these types of dogs being vicious i.e. attacking people etc.
Location: Nowhere, screenshots from various news websites such as ITV, BBC and so on.
17 seconds
The media portrays these dogs in a certain way which makes them come across as just vicious and that apparently there is no good side to them, hence for the drastic increase of these dogs being in animal shelters such as the RSPCA, Battersea Dogs and many more.
Vox Pop, members of the public expressing their opinions of ‘dangerous dogs’.
Location: Park, Mill Hill Broadway etc.
8 seconds
We asked the members of the public about their personal opinions on these dogs and how they personally thought they were portrayed …
Footage of animal shelters such as the RSPCA and Battersea Dogs showing dogs jumping onto the cages showing increase of the amount of dogs coming in.
Footage of shelter workers expressing their feelings on these types of dogs and also what is being done to support them i.e. charities.
Location: Various animal shelters.
16 seconds
There are many animal Charities and Welfares that are attempting to help certain types of dogs which are said to be vicious. They help these dogs in order to give them a healthy upbringing instead of being used as a ‘fashion item’ which many dog owners seem to do.
Images and screenshots of various statistics of which will be in a voice over. They will be displayed on a specific background and statistics will be based around what different Charities are doing such as ‘Staffordshire Bull Terrier Welfare’ and so on.
Location: Nowhere.
23 seconds
‘Staffordshire Bull Terrier Welfare’ protects staffs by getting members of the public to donate money so these dogs lead a long, healthy life where they are loved. The RSPCA animal shelter also encourages many people to adopt Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Rottweiler’s, and Dobermans and so on because realistically they’re gentle giants. It is also believed if these dogs are in the right hands they will make excellent pets!
We now begin on our Advance Production Portfolio: Television News Package Proposal where we will be writing down our Group Name, Proposed Subject/Story, Proposed Interviews and a Brief Outline...
Group Name:
- RAFA NEWS - Kenneth Vessey, Emma Porter, Natalie Woolnough.
Proposed Subject/Story:
- Are all dogs vicious?
- How dogs are portrayed in society.
Proposed Interview:
- Dog owners.
- RSPCA/Animal Shelter workers.
Brief Outline:
- We will be asking members of the public and workers at animal shelters their personal opinions on certain types of dogs such as Staffordshire Bull Terriers and so on.
- We will also be looking at how the media portrays these dogs and whether they are actually kind, loving animals.
Alongside this we will also be writing/creating scripts, making shot lists, planning different locations to film at, gathering people to interview and use within our news channel package and writing our strengths/weaknesses and reason for final choice and last but not least a storyboard based upon how our final piece of work should look like.
Here are a few sheets from our Portfolio Package :)
Now that the practice Vox Pop is out of the way and everything has been organized for the real Vox Pop we can now fully put our focus onto our news channel package. We will be making an Advanced Production Portfolio, Script, Storyboard and so on of which we will be completing through using all our ideas discussed previously ie. what we want to be happening throughout, what will be discussed (vicious dogs) etc.
We have now made our real Vox Pop, as a group we went out to several different locations including the local park and Shenly RSPCA centre where we interviewed dog owners, dog walkers and members of the public within the area. Having produced a practice vox pop already we had all questions prepared so we were ready to rumbo! We also had the template ready as to how we wanted it to go alongside statistics we wanted to include and so on.
Here it is, we hope you like it!
Next step is making our news channel package :)
Keep tuned!
We have finally received the results of our questionnaire. Asking 7 people 4 questions which gave us a rough idea of what the majority of people thought about these types of dogs and the laws about them. 2 out of the 7 people thought that Staffordshire Bull Terriers are naturally vicious due to the characteristics of their breed. However 5 of the people agreed that it is the way these breeds are brought up which makes them a friendly or vicious dog. Another question with important results was peoples opinion on whether or not Staffordshire Bull Terriers will have a good reputation in time. 5 out of 7 people said that this certain breed will never have a good reputation in time due to how the media portrays them in this vicious way and constantly showing the bad side to them. Although, 2 people said that this reputation will turn into a good one as they do make friendly and loving pets when put into the right household.
Overall, most people said that dogs are only vicious based on their lifestyle and the type of owner that they are brought up with. Even though, most people also stated that they believe that Staffordshire Bull Terriers will never have a good reputation as the media conveys them in a vicious way.
Here's a picture of the completed questionnaires! It was very successful :)
Alongside making and practicing how we are going to present our Vox Pop we also produced and conducted a questionnaire which was for the general public. The purpose of the questionnaire was to gain more answers from members of the public/RSCPA workers etc who were less willing to be filmed.
The questionnaire had four questions of which we also used in our Vox Pop: "What is your opinion on dogs such as Staffordshire Bull Terriers which are portrayed as being vicious?" "Do you believe all dogs are the same and character/behaviour is due to upbringing or the way they are bred?" "In your opinion do you reckon dogs such as Staffordshire Bull Terriers and so on will have a good reputation in time?" "Do you believe laws about these breeds should be changed? Such as not being allowed off of the lead, being illegal without a licence etc."
We've decided to make a practise Vox Pop before going out and filming members of the public including dog walkers and the workers/volunteers at the RSPCA animal shelter. When planning this we actually filmed members of Mill Hill County High School asking them the 4 questions we had prepared for our final vox pop.
"What is your opinion on Staffordshire Bull Terriers which are portrayed as being vicious?" "Do you believe all dogs are the same and character/behaviour is due to up bringing or the way they are bred?" "In your opinion do you reckon dogs such as Staffordshire Bull Terriers and so on will have a good reputation in time? "Do you believe laws about these breeds should be changed? Such as not being allowed off of the lead, being illegal without a licence etc."
After making some footage using the school camcorders/equipment we loaded it onto Adobe Premier editing software where we used our knowledge from previous tasks to make our practise vox pop. This is including cutting down footage, adding titles, adding/making a voice over and adding pictures where our statistics would come up.
Here is our practice Vox Pop!
Here is a screen grab from our practise Vox Pop which shows how we are presenting our questions on the final version. We have a plain black background with a bright eye catching questions presented in white.
Here is a screen grab of 1 member of Mill Hill County High School who we filmed and used within our practise Vox Pop, her answers were excellent and detailed which is what we are aiming for. Her opinion is put across strongly and we appreciate her view :)
Here is a screen grab of how we will present our statistics in our news package. Next to them there is a cartoon image of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier which relates closely to our News Package story and relates closely with our target audience of children.
Here is a screen grab showing how we inputted our cartoon picture of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Clicking on 'Get Media' allows us to access our files where we have saved our images. Once on Adobe Premier we have the ability to drag the image down and place on the screen as we would like.
Here is a screen grab of some of the tools we have available on Adobe Premier which we have learnt to use through previous tasks. The symbol of the scissors allows us to 'cut' all footage taken giving us the opportunity to cut down on unnecessary needs. Alongside the scissor symbol there is also a 'T' which allows us to place titles and text where need be, this being on top of footage or on blank black screens.
Here is a screen grab of how we combine both footage and voice overs together, we have the ability to delete and add both footage and audio as we like which gave us the chance to add questions and then make a voice over using the school Mac Books and then transferring the audio over through the use of a USB stick and ITUNES.
Here are two photos, one of which shows Natalie filming our practise Vox Pop and the other of her loading the edited footage onto Youtube allowing us to post it on here!
We are now fully prepared to make our real Vox Pop which we will shortly be filming. We are exciting to do the real one and will keep you updated when it is in the making and will post it on here once complete! We will use all of our knowledge with Adobe Premier editing software and will produce a vox pop which is eye catching, bold and of better quality.
Now that we have brain stormed as a group and chosen our main focus of dogs for our News Channel Package we decided to make a practice Vox Pop interviewing individuals of Mill Hill County High School on their personal opinions based around our topic. Doing this it will help us when making our real Vox Pop as we would have everything organized including how we want it to be presented alongside statistics and so on.
As a team we sat around one of the computers in the media department and made a selection of 5 questions we thought would benefit us gaining answers as to whether our news channel package would be successful or not! Although only 4 were asked to each interviewee. When selecting interviewee's we used a range of both male and females ranging from different years between Year 7 - 13.
Some questions we included within our list were "What is your opinion on dogs such as Staffordshire Bull Terriers which are portrayed as being vicious?". We believe all questions included within the list will be beneficial and helpful throughout the making of our news channel package!
Here are the 4 questions we proposed to our interviewee's :)
The time has come and we have to plan our News Channel Package, this being based upon something which will fit around our topic area, ours being domestic pets and children. We have begun surfing the internet and writing a long list of ideas we may contemplate when coming to a final decision of what we would like ours to based upon.
We decided to look at news websites such as BBC News, Dog News, CBBC and ITV News where we have come across a large sum of interesting stories based upon domestic pets, as a team we came to a decision we would like to base ours around dogs so the hunt continued to find interesting stories on dogs.
Having chosen our focus point we looked further on BBC News and Dogs News which were extremely helpful sites helping us decide what we would like to talk about on dogs.
...
Time had flown by and we have decided as a team to talk about "Are all dogs vicious?", our news channel package will be based around dogs which are portrayed as being vicious and violent such as Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Dobermans, Rottweilers and so on. Our question to the public then is "Are these dogs generally vicious and violent due to breed characteristics or simply due to the way they have been handled and brought up".
In time with more and more planning our News Channel package will come together and little pieces will fade in with one another bringing us step by step to finish of our exciting project ahead! :D
Here are screen grabs from Dogs News and BBC News which influenced us to have our News Channel Packaged based around dogs. We gathered useful links through the use of the internet.
We've decided to give our website a bit of a re-vamp because we thought it wasn't meeting it's full potential and little bits here and there could be tweaked to make it of a better standard.
We now have several pages including Dogs, Missing Pets, Chicken Run, (Interesting) Animal Stories, Horse Stories and so on, all of which are very exciting and interesting. Some have a/many stories on them and others are listed with images and details, we thought this would attract our target audience of children as it has a variety and is interesting. We have several pictures with nice bold borders too!
On our main home page all pages are easily accessible to, there is a slide show of which also has 6 slides which has our Owner of the Week, Twitter updates and even our News Channel Opening Title Sequence on it which gives the audience the opportunity to look at it and give us feed back. Everything also has a 'Read More' button on it of which links onto the actual page and allows you to gain more information on a certain story/topic/page.
Not to forget... We have even managed to add on some Advertisement! As you will probably see on our main home page there is an 'Animal Planet' advert and hopefully we may be able to find a few other places where we can add more such as Bakers Complete Dog Food, Iams and so on - fingers crossed, we might be lucky!
Last but not least the website also has a Gallery of which obtains several photos of animals, all domestic including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and so on.
We think all in all our new website has the wow-factor of which attracts our target audience of children as it is bold and eye catching. It is fun looking, colourful and is a place with interesting stories, facts and keeps you up to date on missing pets etc. We hope our target audience like it and we look forward to receiving feed back. We have put hard work and effort into this and hope the change in colour, borders etc will have a positive affect!
"The Salmon is killing me!"
As a group I think we came to terms that the Salmon just wasn't doing it for us, although a nice colour and went with our website it was just too awkward looking...
We looked through the 'background' colours available and found a nice, calm and clean Mint colour which we concluded suited our website best alongside all the other baby colours we had such as blue, yellow and pink.
We listened to ourselves and went forward with the new colour which fits perfectly!
COMPARISON!
Here is our website finally coming together, obviously you can see the huge difference between the 'in your face' Salmon and 'nice attractive' Mint. We are so happy with our decision and hope our target audience of children like it too! It's a huge transformation and in our opinion definitely works well!
We have decided to take a new adventure on our RAFA news website. As a team we decided to add a new page, this being 'ANIMAL STORIES'. Here we will be keeping you updated on new interesting stories based on domestic pets such as a horse who eats doughnuts and a dog who likes vegetables and so on.
We are excited to take this project further as this it will be a key point on our website for our target audience of children. We were inspired by the CBBC website which has a similar page like this.
We have a new page called 'ANIMAL STORIES'! This page will be linked with the colour pink, many interesting animal stories can be found here, ALL BEING DOMESTIC PETS! :)
Here is a quick screen grab of the 'ANIMAL STORIES' page, there isa lot more editing and adapting to be done including more stories and new photos etc. Although we have done quite a lot in the short amount of time we have had. Be patient and you won'tbe disappointed!
Finally our website making is coming to an end! We have finally managed to get somewhere after many difficulties. We feel that our new website is much more suitable to our target audience which is children. The website template is layed out in a way which is easy for children to read and understand with many kiddy features. We also chose bright colours which makes the website look bold and stand out so that it is not a boring news website like many others.
The background colour of our website is 'Salmon' so that it is quite bright and gives a positive feel to it. On this main homepage we will be placing our RAFA logo in the top left corner so that it is easily seen by everyone as to what 'news channel' we are. We have a variety of different tabs that page viewers can click on to read certain stories linked on different pages for example; Horse Facts, Gallery, Missing Pets, Chicken Run and more interesting stories. However people will also get a chance to read shorter version of each story on our homepage so that they can see if they take an interest to reading it or not, these mini stories are shown both on the main homepage and a slide show we have put together too.
Each of our stories have been set a different colour so that our website will be colourful and people will know when they see each colour which story it is set for, the colours we have used are 'baby colours' ie. blue/green and pink. As a group we feel that our website is now suitable and the right style for children to easily read.
Here's another quick screen grab of our website coming into place! As stated above each story is given a different colour ie. 'HORSE FACTS' is baby blue, 'CHICKEN RUN' is peach/orange and 'OWNER OF THE WEEK' is baby yellow. We also have a tabs board listed above which is another way of navigating away off of the home page. There's more to come guys!
We have now made a twitter account so that people can follow us! Our twitter name is @Rafa__News. On twitter we will be posting facts, news and pictures all about animals and our website.
We finally have progressed from our last post, we sat around the school computer again with the hope for it to work alongside us. We looked through our selected templates for the last time to decide on our chosen website design and successfully so the work begun! We all begun discussing where everything should be placed including text boxes, titles, pictures and so on. We went through all the stages we had previously done once again to come to a full final agreement with the website and how it was going to be presented to others.
Kenneth has decided to take the website home which he intended on doing so with our previous website and will be using our ideas to hopefully complete as much as possible, we'll soon have to get out and about to get some photos which will work alongside our website! We we will be taking our photos in a variety of different locations including local livery yards, parks and even on the school site!
We look forward to keeping you posted with the making of the site!
He is a quick screen grab of part of our website, we have managed to make a 'slide show' where many little stories will be listed, including 'Owner of the Week' and many others! Currently we have a dull white background but not for long ;)
Unfortunately we have seem to have gone through some severe technical difficulties once again with the school computers. We have lost our whole website as it seems to have apparently not have saved! We are very disappointed and upset however we hope to make an even better website with a brighter, bolder website template using our previous ideas including colours/themes and story lines!
We have sat down to discuss and look through another large selection of website designs and will be discussing over the next lesson which one suits best and then the work begins! Kenneth will be working on the website at home alongside lesson time where we will also be contributing our personal opinions throughout the making.
We look forward to now making another website due to the technical issues we have gone through! :)
Obviously due to loosing our previous website we had to look at another wide range of website designs on 'WIX.COM', this time we decided to look under a wide variety of different catergories rather than just 'Vets & Pets', we successfully found a wide amount and then agreed on 1 specific one we thought went best with our news package idea.
We started producing a website for our News Channel, RAFA. We had to create a website which had a news like layout and was eye catching and bold. We had to include several different stories based on animals and had to attract our target audience of children. As a group we sat around one of the school computers and looked at the website templates available. We picked out a large amount of templates we liked and then discussed further which one we liked most and thought would fit in appropriately.
Having gone through quite a few technical issues we eventually managed to re-focus ourselves with hope that the computer would no longer play up! We picked a bright, nice template which we then discussed upon what would be placed where and what we would have on it, we concluded to add a story regarding the school chickens, list a wide amount of horse facts, make an article based on dogs and whether they are vicious our not (i.e. how they are portrayed and looked upon) and so on. We also discussed a colour scheme of blue/white and black.
We begun editing placing everything in order according to how we wanted it, we linked pages together and also made 'read more' boxes which would navigate you away from the page. We used our knowledge in page layout via looking through several other news channel website such as CBeebies, BBC and so on which inspired us to layout our website in an attractive form. When designing the page we also agreed on placing a large amount of animal based photographs around the website including a possible slide show.
We're looking forward to completing our website hopefully soon and having a nice eye catching and bold site which is attracted towards our target audience.
Here are a few screen grabs of the website page layouts that we found interest in. We are creating a website on 'WIX.COM' where a wide variety of templates are provided underneath different categories, 1 catergory which helped us was specifically was 'Vets & Pets' because ours was based around domestic animals.
As seen we looked at a variety of different NEWS CHANNEL websites to give us ideas including BBC, CBBC and ITV NEWS.
Here is a screen shot showing what we can do with the 'READ MORE' buttons, we have the ability to navigate page viewers away onto different pages through clicking the 'Link' option which list the pages we have available, alongside this we can also change style, colour and format text.
Whilst planning our website we decided to research further into depth other news websites to give us an idea of how to set it out and inspiration so that it would suit our target audience perfectly. We looked at CBBC News round, BBC News and ITV News to guide us through the process of making our News Channel Website.
CBBC News round was one of our main inspirations when desgining and producing our news channel website, we thought the layout was good and eye catching and specifically desgined for the younger generation (our target audience). We admired how the stories were set out with the main being at the top and the largest with other interesting stories underneath which we took into consideration, alongside this we also specifically liked the quizzes/competition which were on the right hand side of the page which we thought had a great impact on children.
One more thing we really liked about the CBBC News round website were the buttons at the top of the page, we thought they were bold and effective each one having it's own colour when hovered over which we thought was very impressive!
ITV News was another website we looked at however didn't find very interesting, the website is mainly based for the older generation of which we are not concentrating on therefore didn't come into very much use. Whilst skimming through there site we realized that all news stories were just simply listed with a brief summary underneath which once again didn't appeal to us at all however one thing we did think was excellent was the Twitter updates, Twitter being something continuously used by the younger generation alongside other social networking sites such as Facebook we thought it would be excellent if we made our own account and so we did (@RAFA_NEWS). Having been inspired by this we decided to put this into our website too so now we just need to begin making it!
BBC News was one of the last news channel websites we looked at, once again we weren't appealed to there layout as it was based at the older generation again however we did take into account the layout slightly, we liked the fact that the main story was the largest with a brief summary next to it and then the 2 other latest stories were underneath but smallest, we thought this was nice and eye catching in some aspects therefore took it into consideration. We also liked how there were various other stories on the right hand site listed with very small sentences about what they were about. We took as much into account as we could which we thought would contribute towards making our website and now the fun begins!
Here's the finished product of our news channel projects opening title sequence :)
We hope you like it! Obviously as you can see it is quite 'kiddy' going perfectly with our target audience of kids.
Finally we've been reunited and the work begins in finishing our News Channel opening title sequence. As a team we walked around the school at lunch and gathered a small amount of children ranging from Year 7 - 11, we took them to the Media Department and then got them to jump in the air and shout RAFA whilst we filmed them. After 2 attempts we got the perfect clip which we put onto the school computers straight away and edited where's neccessary. Once on our opening title sequence we added in a flash to white and our News Channel Logo, successfully so everything was coming together! All that was left was very minimal, we had to cut down where the clip was repetative and boring alongside the music although this was easily amended within no time :)
Here is a sequence of our completed News Channel Opening Title Sequence, all clips are layered on top and we have also added in the kids jumping int he air and a flash to white alongside our News Channel Logo.
As a group we decided we would change and adapt our News Channel opening title sequence. We decided our previous opening title sequence wasn't up to our standards and didn't show our true potential. Due to this we decided to start from scratch. We put together a large selection of ideas on a peice of paper and then discussed our favourite idea. Once we had picked the idea we liked the most we started to create a new storyboard on paper. We did this so that we could get a clue as to how our opening sequence would look before creating it on Adobe Premiere. Instead of having a montage of the animals, we decided to layer them and make them all come out onto one screen. Each animal would show up one by one with a fade effect. At the end all the animals would be on the screen at the same time. The ending has however not been completed yet due to unforeseen circumstances of one member being ill, we did not want to continue making the opening title sequence without her voicing her opinion. We are now waiting for her to come back to complete our opening title sequence with her added opinion.
Here is a picture of our complete story board which helped us produce our news channel opening title sequence!
Here is a picture from Adobe Premier showing the making of our News Channel Opening Sequence, to produce our grid like format we had to layer each clip on top of each other and then minimize the size to place on the same screen.
