  BTEC Extended Diplomain Creative Media Production IG4 Final Major Project Production Diary PROGRESS UPDATE PLAN FOR NEXT MONTH / WEEK(Including Possible Contingency Plans If Problems Anticipated) Mon W/B 14/01/13 (Detailed Weekly Summary) Today was the first lesson we had when we was given this project so I had to start thinking and deciding what type of project I wanted to do. I decided that I would make a Celebrity, Beauty and Fashion magazine for older teenage females. So now that I have come up with my initial idea I have begun filling in my time management timeline as I know exactly what things I will need to do for: research, pre-production, production and post-production. I plan to have this time management task completed and uploaded to my blog by next week. Then I will began the piece of work I said I would do next on my time management schedule which is part of my market research – I will be looking at magazines with the same genre as me and target audience to find the magazines that influence me then I will put them into a PowerPoint. Mon W/B 21/01/13 (Detailed Weekly Summary) I have started doing this PowerPoint and I am now half way through it I have included pictures of the magazine – the cover contents page, double page spreads and images they use throughout the magazine and said what images I plan to use for mine and gave information about the magazines that influence me. I just need to add a few more slides to this and it will be done hopefully by the end of this week if not the end of next week’s first lesson so I am ready to do something else for next week which will be writing my project proposal. Mon W/B 28/01/13 (Detailed Weekly Summary) I did plan to have my Influences PowerPoint finished by now however I have not yet managed to do this but this is because my project proposal needed to be completed earlier than I thought so as the proposal had to be completed first I did that instead and uploaded it to my blog. I have now completed my PowerPoint and uploaded it to my blog. Now for the rest of the week I will be carrying on with my pre-production where I will be finding images of pages, front covers and contents pages of Teen Vogue magazine as that is my main magazine inspiration and then with these I will be creating a mood board to show what I am going for with my own magazine. Mon W/B 04/02/13 (Detailed Weekly Summary) Today I began looking at all other magazines with the same genre of my magazine and gathered images of all the ones that I liked and put them into a mood board and then from these I picked my favourite and created a separate mood board using just images from the magazine that influenced me the most. I have created the two mood boards that I planned to do this week and have uploaded them both to my blog. Next week is our week off so I am going to book out a camera and during this week off take most of the images for my magazine as up to now I have 1 model. I will need quite a few more people however as I am only using one person for my front cover this will do fine for now. Mon W/B 11/02/13 (Detailed Weekly Summary) I planned to book out a camera from college and take most of the images for my magazine as this is the week we have Because I wasn’t able to take my pictures this week I will see if I can arrange to do that by next week instead whether it is during

  BTEC Extended Diplomain Creative Media Production IG4 Final Major Project Production Diary off from college however because A levels needed them I couldn’t have one there as they had to use all the cameras so there was none left for anyone else, so instead I wrote up a plan of what images I would take, who would be in the pictures and how many people I would need and I now have friends that have agreed to let me photograph them for my magazine. the week or at the weekend. As I will be taking pictures outside of college, during my lessons next week I will start creating a thorough questionnaire as part of my market research then I will hopefully have this done over maybe 2 lessons at the most and then hand them out on Thursday and then by the beginning of next week I hope to have the results from them all tallied up and then I will put them on my blog along with the questionnaire I originally created. Mon W/B 18/02/13 (Detailed Weekly Summary) I created my questionnaire and in a college break I handed them out around the college, approaching my target audience and got the results and tallied them up then in my next lesson I wrote up an analysis talking about my results, why I asked those specific questions and what I will do with them now. I now plan to write up a detailed plan of what images I am going to take and where and explain what is going onto each page. Mon W/B 25/02/13 (Detailed Weekly Summary) I wrote my magazine pitch in the first two lessons I had this week and I timed myself reading it through so that I knew how long the presentation I plan to create will need to be. I will now start gathering images for my presentation. I plan to get all the images I need to do my PowerPoint presentation and then I want that to be finished in the first lesson I have next week so that I can start learning what I need to say for my pitch.
