TREATMENT
The background is black throughout. The Ident begins with 25
Copro/Casket CDs being piled up (One per shot) Including
Earthtone9 ArcTanGent, each cd that appears in shot cues a
Sound. One Cd comes out from pile (Earthtone9 ArcTanGent) cd
case opens to show the disc, from this the next shots zoom into the
disc and cuts to shots zooming away from the cover of an issue
from Cop-Out magazine which then has the page turning. Once the
magazine reaches the end showing the back page cuts to the
Copro Records Logo and other sub company logos (Casket, Cop
cartel etc). For artistic effect some areas such as the cd piling will
have a low FPS.
Risk assessment: Are there any health and safety issues you may encounter?
Working with electrical equipment when using this equipment I must ensure there
are no loose wires obstructing anybodys way.
Using hot lighting ensure everyone is aware that the lighting used will get hot and
are not to go near them.
Discuss any legal issues you may face. Eg; sound, plagiarism, age restrictions
As I am working with a record label I must be sure that they own the rights to use and
display and music or images of bands/clients.
What are the different possibilities you could explore using this format?
Use of moving real life objects that portray Copro records and its sub companies. The
objects used can also be relatable to the viewers as they are objects that they can possess
as a Copro records customer such as the CDs and magazines.
What are the limitations of using this format? (i.e what problems/ obstacles might you
have?)
You cannot manipulate the appearance of real objects as opposed to creating something
with plasticine.
Objects may be difficult to move which makes it hard to give it character and personality.
What imaginative or inventive animations have you seen which use this format?
Add in links and screen shots of three examples of animations using this format.

Subject
What will the subject of your animation be?
To advertise Copro records and its sub companies using their multiple platforms.
Storyline
Describe the storyline of your animation. What events will happen to your characters?
The use of Copro records Cds and magazine advertises the company and works well as a
YouTube channel introduction.
Characters
What characters will be in your animation?
I have chosen not to use characters as it would be irrelevant to the client.
If the company were to have a relatable character/mascot a character would be necessary
but as they do not it would be confusing to add a face to the ident.

Movement of characters
How are you going to make your characters move?
Use their existing functions
Cd case opening/closing
Magazine turning through pages
I will need some support to hold these objects during their movement process using things
like blue tac and plastecine
Mood board
Create a mood board showing what look your animation will have. Add images showing
ideas of mise-en-scene, characters, costumes and colors that will be present in the different
shots.
Sets / backgrounds
Will your set be;
A blue/green screen
An existing location
Draw sketches of how your sets/backgrounds will look. Add in labels to your diagrams and
details of locations / lighting etc.
Complete the sound list, detailing what sounds you will use, where you will source them,
what equipment you will need to record them and when you will use them in your animation.
You will need to design your own soundtrack. You cannot use copyrighted music, and it must
be more than simply adding a track.
Think of the scenes in your animation. Each scene should have different sounds/music to
give information about the mood / emotions of the characters.
The atmosphere created will be thrilling and exciting due to the drive of the earthone9 track
being used.
