Ive been researching CBBC's before and now and this is a clip i found that was used from 1994 to 1997. You can see the effects on this video have changed increasingly over the years and that the animations are also a lot more different with more effects to stop motion.
Over the years CBBC have created many little animation indents for their show and they use created effective animation like this one its simple.
History of the CBBC indents
The history of BBC television idents begins in the early 1950s, when the BBC first displayed a logo between programmes to identify its service.
After looking through indents i finally created one of my own and it is with fruit that i have created with plastesince i decided that i can use my creative side to create our own characters for our ident for the media deparmtent.

After doing research on programmes who use idents to help attract audiences we have officially been creating out own for the media department on which will help our media studies look more effcient to the rest of the school. What the group have decided to create is characters on which is Morph and Pingu and a friend who are watching a film on which Morph rudely distracts them. Overall looking on other idents it help us think on the time and the difference we will need to do and to copperate as a group.
this is jack creating Pingus friend
after researching other penguins jack decided to create his own.
This is a picture of the carrot i created for a different activity which shows the creativity in media.

The questions were given to people in my class so they can review our ident and see if it is up to the standards needed to be really good. The questions relate to my work on what we done as a group so the feedback i would recieve would be fair.

As you can see two females and 12 males were involved in this questionnaire people might think that questionnaire may not be fair or equal but that is how the class is.
A part of the group have said that this ident is actually very good another said it was good but there was also one person who said it was really bad. The whole class have said the representation and the soundtrack suit well with our ident and that gives some proof it is good so thats a 100% positivity. A majority of 8 people said that this ident could be the official media ident and another 6 said it could not. Another full amount of the class have said that they like storyline and also the characters which is giving more of a good impact. 9 people in the class have said they watch animation and another 5 claim they havent. An to complete this 12 people said our ident could be improved and i think if could if we did change a few things but over all im happy with what we created.
Over looking the feed back we have recieved we would need to talk about more ideas that we can add onto the ident as it may be different. We could look at more other idents and what storylines that are similar and how we could make it better. I would say that the ident was completed as good but obviously changes could be made. If we were going to change the ident in some ways i would use more colour and maybe more characters and more of a storyline.
