Year 2: Narrative Blog creation progress.

It's been a while since I have posted, but now there is a new task to do for year 2. As a group we have already started looking at what to call and do for our ''studio''. I started a group chat on facebook as follows:

    Well I'm up for anything. Let's let Dan decide cause why not xD

    I don't mind either. Haha
    Although I'm a bit busy this week and next, so over Facebook would be fine. smile emoticon

    Alright - have you read the tasks?
  • Daniel Reason
    08/09/2015 16:49
    Daniel Reason
    Yeah. Any ideas so far?
  • Julia Wolf-Girl Mason

    Julia Wolf-Girl Mason
    Well I was thinking something in relation to three as there is three of us
  • Daniel Reason
    08/09/2015 16:53
    Daniel Reason
    Yeah. And as we'll need to make a blog, the colour scheme of the logo should work with the blog design too.
  • Julia Wolf-Girl Mason
    08/09/2015 16:54
    Julia Wolf-Girl Mason
    Yeah - well let's start with our favourite colours. Mines purple...
  • Daniel Reason
    08/09/2015 16:55
    Daniel Reason
    Mine's blue. Although I do quite like purple.
  • Julia Wolf-Girl Mason

    Blue and purple go nicely together. Lewis how about you?

    I'm at work God Damn it.... Cyan
  • Julia Wolf-Girl Mason

    Julia Wolf-Girl Mason
    Thank you xD
    Cyan is light blue. Dan what type of blue? Cause if it was dark that makes some sense cause it would be cyan normal blue and a light ish purple. As long as it shows up nicely it should be fine.
  • Daniel Reason

    Daniel Reason
    To be honest, I like most shades of blue. If I had to say though it would be royal blue.
  • Julia Wolf-Girl Mason
    08/09/2015 17:02
    Julia Wolf-Girl Mason
    Royal blue is pretty colonthree emoticon
    I'll work on some colour pallets in a bit. We need to think of a name and logo.
  • Daniel Reason
    08/09/2015 17:04
    Daniel Reason
    I think the logo will come from the name. If we do chose a name involving "3", it could be the number 3 in those colours, for example.
  • Julia Wolf-Girl Mason
    08/09/2015 17:06
    Julia Wolf-Girl Mason
    Agreed I don't think a three muskaters would be a bit to obvious xD
    Do*
  • Daniel Reason
    08/09/2015 17:07
    Daniel Reason
    Haha yeah. It would need to be quite unique.

    Three crusaders sounds weird aha I'm not good with names aha
  • Daniel Reason
    08/09/2015 17:11
    Daniel Reason
    I think we should try to think of some names today/tonight and then see if we can combine some ideas, if none of them stand out, tomorrow.
  • Julia Wolf-Girl Mason
    08/09/2015 17:12
    Julia Wolf-Girl Mason
    Mhm. I'll do some pallets with different shades of the colours and we won't make the blog till we have all the ideas sorted. How about that?
  • Daniel Reason
    08/09/2015 17:13
    Daniel Reason
    Good idea. smile emoticon

    Have a look at those and tell me what you think.
  • Daniel Reason

    I think the selection with the #26AEDD cyan colour looks best. It would look nice if the colours weren't too loud and were light pastel colours.
  • Julia Wolf-Girl Mason

    thats what I was aiming for but I'm slightly shade colour blind the only differences I can see are the numbers colonthree emoticon

    Just been looking a studio name generator and it came up with this: Lunar Knight Film Studios and I love it because its lunar and thats to do with the night and the knight part reminds me of my guild mates on archege - just to say studio name generators are awesome. I'm looking for one that might be more appropiate for the three of us ^.^
  • Lewis Maddison

  • 15:15You named the conversation: UCA Narrritive Group convo..

    Daniel Reason
    Sorry, been a bit busy. Yeah! That sounds cool!
    Haha
  • Lewis Maddison
    15:31
    Lewis Maddison
    Its amazing what happens when your busy grin emoticon at least we have an idea now
  • Daniel Reason
    15:31
    Daniel Reason
    Haha yeah. I came up with some names but they're pretty bad.
  • Lewis Maddison
    15:32
    Lewis Maddison
    All of the first attempts were bad haha. Eventually just saying random stuff yields a decent result
  • Daniel Reason
    15:32
    Daniel Reason
    Exactly.
    We should probably set up the blog to show Phil/Alan that we've been talking about ideas.
  • Lewis Maddison
    15:34
    Lewis Maddison
    Yeah probably.
  • Daniel Reason
    15:43

    Out of the fonts, I think the first and last ones work best. Fonts aren't too complicated unless they're part of the logo itself.
  • Julia Wolf-Girl Mason
    15:43
    Julia Wolf-Girl Mason
    If you want guys after I fix my laptop I'll give setting up the blog a go. We should post in our individual blogs this conversation and yes I agree
  • Daniel Reason
    15:44
    Daniel Reason
    Haha yeah. Good thinking.
  • Lewis Maddison

  1. Hey guys - this is excellent stuff, getting stuck in...but maybe you need to guard against calling your studio a name with such strong associations... 'Little Sprite Studios' sounds very childlike and whimsical and cutsey... what if, after the briefing, you find yourselves making something more sombre or adult? Maybe you need to think about neutralising some of those connotations? Personally, 'Little Sprite' is too 'My Little Pony'... Sprite is good, it's just the 'little' that's too controlling; maybe think of less diminutive language? Try a few more combinations of words before you settle: for example, were you called 'Electric Sprite Studios' - there is nothing in that name that strongly suggests any one kind of film making or genre or audience. In short, I'd suggest a bit more thought and discussion is now required - which you appear to be enjoying anyway!
