Proposal
Proposal
Production company: ZeeProductions.
Title: e4 snake
By line: snakes in a class room.
Synopsis:
The idea that me and Zack came up with was inspired by the original video arcade game ‘Snake’ which first blew up in the 1970’s and then the game was made famous on Nokia mobile phones.
A question that we had to ask ourselves whilst planning was; ‘how will we make the character’s come to life?’ Well, we were again inspired by other stop motion animations from YouTube such as ‘Deadline’ by Bang Yao Liu. The animation Deadline creatively used post it notes. We decided to also use post-it notes to create the snakes body and ‘food’. The software we will be using to create the e4 ident is 'iStop motion'
Our plan is to create a live game using ONLY post-it notes and a white board. The main line of appeal for our animation is the creativity that we will be trying to achieve. We want to be able to amaze the viewers of E4 with something unique and also leave them amazed as to how we made it. At the end of the Ident we will create a drawing of the E4 logo on the White board.
The E4 channel is a ‘younger’ sister to Channel 4. The main target audience for e4 is 13-26 which means that the ident will have to be quite fun and youthful.
My self and Zack decided to open up the animation straight away with no clear introduction to what the animation was for or what it was about.
Personnel
My production team includes myself and Zack. Zack’s strengths are his camera skills and his great attention to detail. In order to stay on top of our schedule, we both must take great responsibilities independently and together to make sure that all work is done to a standard and on time for the deadline.
Resources
- Camera
- Post it notes
- White board Markers
- iStop motion

Media & Audience. - for livia.
Over the years, media producers, advertisers, governments, pressure groups, anthropologists and sociologists have been absorbed in how the media can affect the behaviour and attitudes of their viewers through ways such as television, magazines and radio. The term ‘audience behaviour’ determines the acceptance or rejection of the messages that the media puts forward. It also implies the change of attitudes from voting patterns to how people react to violence.
There are many methods of the media effecting attitudes of their audience. An example of one is the hypodermic needle theory which suggests that the media are capable of mass manipulation. The theory suggests that we as an audience have been drugged by the media to believe the messages that they send to us and we as an audience are vulnerable to it. Examples that these theories are right for example are television soaps. Audiences who follow soaps believe that the characters are real and some actors who played villains have been ill-treated in the streets.
Propaganda is another method that is used in a careful method to manipulate audiences’ attitudes and beliefs. Many political parties, media industries and religious movements have all developed propaganda experts, including Adolf Hitler in the 1930’s.
Children are extremely vulnerable and not just to television but to adult behaviour. Children often learn to respond to certain ways but the way that the adults around them do. There is a belief that audiences can be badly influenced by music, films and games.
