I previously had no experience of creating a website and from a simple google search, I found out that I would need a web domain and web hosting, if I wanted to upload my website to the internet. Although the website is not required to be uploaded online, I feel that this will improve the quality of my work by being able to show that I have understanding of how a real website would work.
After looking on the internet for free web hosting and domains, I was recommended by a friend to use:
www.co.cc
www.freehostingnoads.net
He had also previously uploaded his website using these services and recommended these sites to me after he had some success.
I created a web domain called www.nasvision.co.cc using the www.co.cc website. I also created an account on the www.freehostingnoads.net website and using this, I linked both accounts together.
I was also unsure of how to upload my website to these accounts, however, I learnt that there was a feature built into the Serif WebPlus X4 program which allowed me to upload my files.
I entered my account details from the freehostingnoads.net website and I included all the information required such as FTP address, upload directory, account name and password.
I then updated my account and uploaded my website to the internet.
These are the final ideas of my website and how i would like my website to look represented. I done alot of thought on this and this is how it will look when im officially done with my final product
Apart from my original images, I have also shot some original video footage and taken a video using a PC input to my PlayStation console to capture my game-play. I have uploaded these videos onto my YouTube accounts and I plan to use these on my website.
These are the pics that ill be putting on my website. It will deal with the variety of different contents, so each picture will be associated to there own content.
ill be adding this to my website. As you can see there aint a lot of pictures but there will be a lot more that will be added on my final product and i stress that some pics in here will or will not be added on to my final product.
The pictures that ill be using for my ident, this will be a no budget ident because ill be doing it as my own boss with no backing and funding so the quality as you can expect will be poor. I will be only using things, my phone, and a piece of paper.
The pics below will be a sample of the amount of pictures that ill be using
The ident will just be a piece of paper opening and the name of my website will be seen.
I'll be analysing a variety of different ident in which ill be using as ideas for my final ident
I will be looking at various different ident’s which have been used by television companies such as the BBC.
I will analyse each ident using a set of questions which will look into various details of the ident such as colour, length, meaning and I will also carry out a short survey to find out the audience reaction of each ident.

ITV - IDENT
The idents were used in ITV
The Ident Is about 7 seconds long
Instrumental sounds can be heard in this
It’s a sequence which has a variety of different things showing things like sports and animals for an example.
Its more of a animation footage built on a sequence
The video looks old and not that colourful so I think its target audience will be adults to the elderly.
The settings go in a pace from animals, sports and dance which you can clearly see people do.
It relates to a TV company because it has there logo on it.
The TV Company is advertised in a sequence of different things.
I can’t find any good points.
It looks boring, generic, cheap, dull not colourful anything you will hate in an ident is there.
The only effective thing the ident has, is making people change the channel
The hidden messages are basically the content and stuff the channel contains.
BBC 2 – HEROES IDENT
The ident is used by the BBC
The ident is about 22 seconds long
Instrumental sounds can be heard and Crows sounds
The content is a dark and you can see a man walking all edgy and not formal
A live footage has been used in this ident
The target audience will be around teenagers to young adults cause of its dark look
A familiar character from the show has been used in this ident which people will recognise instantly what show it is
This ident doesn’t relate to the channel whatsoever , its just the to draw viewers in to watch a new series
The TV company is advertised because at the last view seconds of the video you can clearly see his eye have a number “2” which is BBC 2
I like the whole edginess and darkness of the trailer and the actor dressing and looking totally different then the one he is usually portraying (Always sharp with a suit)
There should at least be a variety in the trailer then him walking alone and then standing with crows.
Yeah the only hidden message you see is the ending of the BBC 2 number at the end
CHANNEL 4 SIMPSON IDENT
The ident was used by Channel 4
The ident is about 39 seconds long
No instrument has been used just Homer Simpson’s voice throughout the
Video
The ident shows the main character trying to take some beer from an electrical wire and this causes him to be electrocuted
This ident was created by using animation footage which contained one of the worlds favourite shows like the Simpson
The target audience of the ident is for fans of The Simpson’s, children and adults as this is a show enjoyed by people of all ages
The ident is set by the shows location Springfield and you can clearly see that because Homer Is at his home
Each time that homer gets electrocuted you can clearly see the channel 4 logo coming
There is a lot of positives because firstly the ident is really enjoyable, secondly one of the funniest characters in the shows is involved and lots of humour has been added in this ident
I cant find any bad things about this
A hidden message might be that people will go to extreme lengths for alcohol, this may be unnoticeable to the adult mind, but the children watching this ident may have this thought
TOON DISNEY IDENT
This ident was used by the Disney
The ident is about 8 seconds long
You can hear the air balloon machine and the Disney logo making squeaky awkward noises.
The ident uses the factions of the Disney channel other channel toon Disney’s logo inside an air balloon machine.
This ident was created by animation footage
The target audience will be kids around the age of 3 to 7 or even younger then that.
This ident has not got location but its on top of the air and the logo is a in a balloon machine
You can see the logo clearly by the Disney’s design
The positive thing is its short snappy and colourful
There is nothing extra which the thing is offering
Nope not really.
ITV XFACTOR IDENT
This ident was used by ITV
This ident is about 10 seconds long
You can clearly hear song through out the whole duration of the ident
You cant see the ITV logo at all but you can clearly see another companies logo instead
This ident was created by live footage, this is because you can see people on it
The target audience of this ident will be of all ages cause its colourful and looks fun
The locations look as if it’s in a warehouse and no recognisable people has been used in this ident but Instead normal people.
You cannot see any ITV logo at all
The positive thing about the ident is that its really colourful, its fast and its fun this is because you can see people moving around and colours are showing
Not a lot of movement , no recognisable people
Yeah you can see TALK TALK advertising there company to the people to join them.
Before i start having any ideas on how my channel will look or what its name will be like. I would have to do some research on a current channel which is succesfull and use that as and example and inspiration to my final product.
ITV
ITV is a public service network of British commercial television broadcasters, set up under the Independent Television Authority (ITA) to provide competition to the BBC. ITV is the oldest commercial television network in the UK, having begun broadcasting in 1955.
While the BBC is a really recognisable brand which the majority of people already know what it stands for. ITV on the other hand not a lot of people know, so this is what they are called ""Independent Television ". While BBC is already as a household name in british media and television ITV is the 2nd. ITV has a variety of shows which can attract a variety of different age groups, they have shows thats are time slots in the day to suit the age group they are attracting for example at 7 am in the morning is were the kiddies watch, while at 10pm is for the grown ups.
ITV over the years since there interception in 1955, they had a lot of variety of idents in to which they established in 1989. They had adapted to the times very well because as you can see in my research it gets newer and newer and the quality of the design looks more vivid and smooth. My aim is too do something similar even though at the start i wont be funded to make an ident. I would like to change and adapt my new ident with the times if my website becomes a hit with viewers.
