After watching a few youtub videos to inspire me, i attempted to make a mock up of my final e-sting.
After making this short video of how id like my esting to be, it has helped me in knowing how i would make my final esting. I would definately make it in the same style as i made my mock up piece. It worked very well and was easy to make. If i made my final piece i would just make the lego surroundings better.

lego?
Plasticine can be very time consuming,so i thought about lego and making a lego stop motion e-sting. I watched a few videos on youtube, though this video really stood out and inspired me.
I think this will be alot easier to make, as the lego figures are easy to manouvure.

looking further into my final idea..
I thought about how i wanted to use stop motion for this project and looked into plasticine stop motion videos, for example Morph.
The way it is filmed and how stop motion is used in this video is how id like to go about making my e-sting. I chose to look at morph as in comparison its a step up from the previous plasticine video i looked at. Morph is very well made and the transitions it makes are very smooth, so it isnt obvious his face is changing or he is moving.

final idea..
The idea i want to be my e4 esting is my fishing idea. I want to take it further and make it out of plasticine. I was thinking of making it with plasticine,though making plasticine people can be quite time consuming so i thought about making the surroundings out of plasticine and the fishermen being made out of lego or something along those lines. It will look similar to this in the way it is made..
Plasticine i feel is a very good way to make an object move easily as it can be pulled apart or made to look different very quickly. I like this video as it is along the same lines of how id go about making my e4 esting with plasticine.

hook a duck..
My third and final idea is at the funfair. With a boy being at the fun fair on the 'Hook a Duck' game. He wants to catch the purple duck with no luck at first, he finally catches it to his delight and then we see the duck has an e4 logo at the bottom of it!
Again i made a mock up of what i would like it to look like.

gone fishing?
Another idea i had was about a fisherman. Basically a fisherman is having a quiet afternoons fishing, birds are singing in the background, when he feels a tug on his rod, after yanking it to see what hes caught, a e4 logo pops out of the water and is caught on the end of his rod! 
I made this mock up using images from the internet to show how i would like my esting to be.

ideas..
The first idea i took from my mindmap that i want to take further is my friends idea. With friends being such a massive and popular programme for years and is now shown regulary on e4 i thought about making a esting about that. Also with friends coming to an end on e4 and moving to another channel i thought this would suit really well.
My thought is using stop frame animation i would take pictures of each of the 6friends and stick them to the back of card, almost make them like a frame so they stand up. Then each would move in time and eventually be in a line, then as they are all lined up they fall backwards causing the e4 logo to pop up behind them. I would acheive this by taking photos each time they move.
This is an example of a stop motion video:
I decided to look at this video because i like the style of the stop motion and how it is filmed uaing post it notes. I think how it is made suits exactly what id like to do, as i think it is made from a series of photos over time.

Researching into the e4 franchise the target audience is aged between 18 and 30 so ive got to make something that will appeal to them.
I have mindmapped some ideas that would appeal to my audience..
Existing estings..
I like this because it is very simple.

There are loads of different ideas that try to get the point of e4 through easily and simply.

what is e4 estings?
We have been asked to create a e4 estings for our next project but what is it?
From the e4 website:
Every year we challenge you to do something rather special by making an on-air sting for E4. And 2011 is no different.
The 2011 competition is now open. Enter the 2011 E stings competition here
The 1st Prize winner will receive a £2500 and a runner up will receive £500.
The finalists will also be invited to attend an awards ceremony in glamorous London where the final winner will be announced. Special!
E4 estings is a competition run by the channel E4, its where the public can send in their wierdest, wackiest videos to be shown on E4 inbetween programmes in the ad break. The video has to be 10 seconds long and include the e4 logo and music that they have supplied.
