The image below demonstrates the idea of the scene I want to include with the mic, mic stand and brown stage. However, as I want to close the curtains at the end I will follow the curtains shown more on the pinterest board for the beginning of a scene.

After the creation of my first draft, I have considered the use of stand up comedy to create more of a scene within my ident.

Stand up comedy:
"Stand-up comedy is a comic style in which a comedian performs in front of a live audience, usually speaking directly to them."
https://www.definitions.net/definition/stand-up+comedy

To incorporate the ideas of stand up comedy, I want to add the idea of a stage with the stickman talking to the audience with a mic. I created a collage of a variety of images from stand up comedy shows which will influence my redraft.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to include very traditional comedy sounds to match the visuals within the ident. The 'baddum tish' is an element I felt was needed and adds to the piece well. The use of sound effects as opposed to music adds more comedy within the ident and brings a lot of energy within the piece. The clapping illustrates the idea of an audience (in this case, the viewer) whilst not seeing them and the laughter represents the comedy audience laughter in traditional comedy films and media texts as well as representing the ideas of stand up comedy.

I have chosen to use 'Chalkboard SE' as my font for the ident logo as i feel it suits the cartoon comedy element of it. I also quite liked 'Noteworthy' but I was unsure whether the thin outline would fit in with the bold scene especially as the banana and the microphone make up elements of the title. Although I felt the sharper fonts did look fairly professional which would generally be a key aspect of a traditional logo, as my central focus for the ident is the playful tone it wouldn't suit the genre or the visuals.

Now I have a clearer idea for my design and how to expand it, I created the end logo which is featured. Originally during my process, I only wanted the banana incorporated into the title but I feel the mic would work well too. I am also going to create curtains to make a stage scene.

# data[].attributes.body
From looking at a variety of ident examples, I have decided that I want a scene within my ident rather than just moving the logo. I feel the use of a stickman would fit the comedy genre well adding a cartoon element within my piece. 'Comedy Central' included many ident examples which helped a lot. The main video which I found the most helpful was the one above uploaded by 'Steven Murdoch'. All of them demonstrate key iconology (such as the smiley faces or the 'LOL' signs) within the comedy genre which I feel I should include within my ident.

From looking at my Pinterest, I don't hugely have any specific colours in mind other than the rest stage curtains and yellow banana. I feel black outlines will incorporate the dramatic cartoon effect which I wish to capture. The background will be an off white as white looked to bright against the brown stage. I chose to have the text against a purple sign as I feel it looked the most appropiate.

After finishing my ident, I needed to add the sound behind it. I decided to include more sound effects than music as I felt that demonstrated more of a comedic element. I included classic sound effects generally associated with classic comedy.

# data[].attributes.body
The last element of my ident included the text. To fit the tone of the scene, I felt a sign falling from the ceiling would work within the ident which it did. I felt the purple compliments the other colours and makes it all stand out. I chose the Chalkboard SE font in light as I felt it suited the cartoon aspect.

I have now added faces onto the stickman and banana as I felt it added to the comedic element and gives more personality within the ident.

In order to make the curtains move, I redesigned them after getting some advice having the shape repeat within the layer experimentation with rotation, size and position. I have now officially managed to make the curtains close at the end.

# data[].attributes.body
I've made the main elements within the ident including the curtains and the mic with the stand. The scene now demonstrates him picking up the mic and falling over the banana flying off screen knocking over the stand in the process. He then throws back onto the stage the banana and the mic to form the missing two letters. I'm very happy with the concept of the piece, I now am just aiming to add curtains closing at the end as well as deciding what to do with the text.

Following my ideas about what else to incorporate, I made a pinterest board looking at various cartoon comedic elements. This includes my ideas of pantomimes/ stand up comedy.

I have been considering how to expand my piece and I feel the element of stand up comedy could be incorporated. It would feature a stage with theatre curtains and the man would still fall over a banana. This would create more of a scene within the ident as well as fitting the genre very effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
I created my first draft which includes the man slipping over the banana and flying off screen. The banana then flies around the screen with the text jumping in and it forms the 'C'. I like the concept of this draft however i think it needs more elements added.

# data[].attributes.body
I have began to create the ident and I want to incorporate a comedy aspect into the name. Here are a few ideas I thought of:
-Giggles
-Chuckle
-Smiler Productions
-Grin
However, I didn't feel these suited the channel. One way I thought I could do this is to have a pun. I thought about playing with the term banana and I decided to name the channel 'Appeeling Productions".

I have decided on the concept of having a stickman slipping over a banana. The banana will be in the style of the plush shown below and will form one of the letters of the YouTube channel name.

As the concept of comedy is quite spread out, I know I want to incorporate the playful tone comedy holds. As I've began to thought about including a man falling over a banana, I feel this will illustrate the comedy aspect well.

-Having a letter of the channel chased off screen and a stick man throws it back on.

In order to understand the genre my ident needs to follow, research of the genre and Youtubers who fit this genre will need to be researched.

"Comedy is a genre of film that uses humor as a driving force. The aim of a comedy film is to illicit laughter from the audience through entertaining stories and characters. Although the comedy film may take on some serious material, most have a happy ending. Comedy film has the tendency to become a hybrid sub-genre because humor can be incorporated into many other genres. Comedies are more likely than other films to fall back on the success and popularity of an individual star."
