Final Logo

After editing this logo about 1020894739939289 times we finally cleaned it up and made it look more professional compared to this "crispy", "overcooked", "shabby" logo (Below). It has been EXTREMELY stressful having to re-edit the logo over and over but hopefully this is the final time. I guess it has to be done if we want to get top praise.
We also added "News" to the logo to add a bit more professionalism and after-all, we are a news channel so it's only appropriate to put it in.

Group Meeting

We have been rather stressed lately with regards to our logo and the way it looks on the website. Therefore it was time for a team meeting to occur. In this meeting we discussed if we would rather redo the logo altogether or change the colour of the logo which would therefore mean changing the colour theme of the website. We have been procrastinating with this logo and just hoping it will fix itself, so the decision had to be made. We concluded that we would like to keep our logo the way it is and we would just upload it in a different way, in order for it to look better. We are really hoping the outcome of uploading it again will make our logo look much cleaner.  #NK

Editing the Ending


We have reached the end of the Earmunch title sequence where our logo is going to appear. The Earmunch logo is currently on a black backgroup which we find very plain, therefore we need to come up with something else. 
 We have thought of putting icons to our social networking sites: Youtube, Facebook and Twitter. These have been uploaded and are going to be placed where we think would look best. This is good to end with as it is the last thing the audience see in the sequence.


 
We have decided that instead of just having the icons for Facebook, Youtuvbe and Twitter, with this we should also have what they are called. So therefore it is easier for the audience to access Earmunch, just by liking us on Facebook, Subscribing to EarMunchNews and Following @Earmunchnews.
These will appear one by one in a fade with a fade in effect.
  
 
 

 As we do not want our logo on a black backgroud as it seems to be disengaging and stops the flow of the sequence we have choosen to put our logo ontop of a shot of our footage. We have decided to go for a shot of records which will be frozen and then the logo will go ontop of it. Hopefully this will allow the flow better to the end of the sequence.

The 'Munch' Sound Effect

Heyhey!

I needed to find a 'munch' sound effect to put on our title sequence, but I couldn't find any good sound effects on the internet.
Then, we decided to record the munch sound effect because then we could have it exactly how we wanted it.
Soooo Kaira volunteered to do the 'munch' sound and we recorded it on a Mac on Garage Band and then saved it and now I'm just adding it into our title sequence and trying to find the right place to put it in.
I don't want to just cut off the soundtrack so I am thinking of slowly fading out the music and then adding the munch sound. Let's see how it goes!
