Happy Never After Construction

This is the article written up:

This was my original mock up article:

 

This was my mock up article. I was very pleased with the work I achieved, but thought I could improve it. I asked a focus group what their thoughts were (this group consisted of people who I would consider to be my target audience.)

 

I then redrafted my product and handed it in:

 

My assessor then gave me feedback and I also put together another focus group and asked for their opinions, both positive and critical.

 

My final product can be seen on the post 'Final Revised Poducts'

Progress Monitoring- Week 3

Monday- today was a successful day, I spoke with my two models and discussed what day and time would suit them best for the photo shoot. We sat down and went through both their timetables as well as their deadlines for subjects, for example Louise couldn’t do Thursday because she had her French listening exam. We came to the conclusion that Friday, first lesson was a good time for us all. I then checked that this slot was available, which it was, and I booked the equipment and studio for that time.

Call Sheets (given to models on Monday)

 

 

Tuesday- during this lesson I challenged myself to start creating my health article on InDesign. I selected 3 magazines; Glamour, Marie Claire and Company and spent the beginning of the lesson flicking through them for any double page spreads that were similar to the one I was trying to create. (Below is an example of one of the articles I used for inspiration) I think that this lesson could have gone better, as I found it hard to picture images and text on the page when they weren’t there. I attempted to use substitute images from Google and I think that this was useful. I did get a general idea of the layout of my page and how the final product would look, but I do think this will be a lot easier to do after the photo shoot and after writing the article. Therefore, if I were to do this again I would carry out the photo shoot and write the article beforehand. However, I did find this lesson helpful in that I now know which articles I will use as inspiration, this will help me when comparing my article later on.

Marie Claire- example article (Tuesday)

 

This was the beginning of my health article construction.]

 



Wednesday- today’s lesson was extremely successful. I focused well and have made a lot of pogress with my health article. I used second person and included lots of facts in a fluent way and aim to have this article completed as homework. I think that this lesson was really successful and am happy with progress I made.

Friday- Today I carried out my photo shoot and all went to plan! I texted my models on Thursday night to remind them to turn up, and what clothe they needed to bring. I think that the photo shoot went well and after flicking through them and creating a contact sheet I am happy with the outcome and have plenty of images to choose from. Chris (the technician) was very helpful in terms of lighting, but other than that I was very independent; guiding the models and telling them what poses I wanted, where to stand, etc. I took around 50-60 images and think that this was a good amount, as it has now given me more choice for my article and front cover.



Contact sheet- (Friday)

 

 

Homework- I completed my call sheets on Monday lunchtime and gave them to my models before the end of the day, this made sure they knew where to be, what time and what to bring.

I also completed writing my health article and proof read it, my friend Abi also read through the article and said that it was fluent and interesting to read.

Health article- written up. (Wednesday and completed as homework)

 

 

Homework- On Thursday I also started redrafting my ‘Happy Never After’ article, using the feedback I received from my focus group. (See post 'Happy Never After Construction')

 

 

 

Monitoring Log: Week 2

This week I challenged myself to do a lot of work and overall I think I have done quite well.

On Monday I was meant to carry out “language identification and article planning”. It wasn’t until I started researching into my health article on chocolate that I realised how big this task was, however in the lesson I achieved quite a lot. I chose 3 magazines in the women’s lifestyle genre as my research sources; they included Glamour, Elle and InStyle.  This was very useful and I gained a lot of information for both my health and fashion articles, this will aid me substantially when writing my articles. SEE BLOG POSTS "Language Identification: Fashion Article" and "Language Identification: Health Article"
The work I didn't get finished in the lesson on Monday, I completed in my free period later on in the day. Monday was successful in that I completed the language research, however I didn't get time to start my article planning. I aim to complete this in a free lesson next week, as I don’t have an exam (which meant revision took priority over my free lessons this week). 

Tuesday’s lesson required me to research into any additional information for my breakout boxes. This was successful for my health article, but not for my fashion article. This, again was due to a lack of time, research is a lot more time consuming than I first anticipated when creating my schedule. I analysed a relatively long and factual article that I found online. It discussed the benefits (as well as a few negatives) to eating chocolate. This was very useful, as it covered the same topics as my article will and provided me with lots of interesting statistics that I could quote in my article. SEE BLOG POST "Finding additional statistical research for individual stories/breakout boxes!"

Due to the length of this article and the depth of analysis I did, I ran out of time to do the same research for my fashion article. However, the research I need for my health article is a lot more than that needed for my fashion article; as this will consist mainly of prices and general information. 

Wednesday’s aim was to create and carry out a questionnaire for my fashion article, as well as create sell lines for my front cover and articles. This questionnaire consisted of 5 quantitative questions and 18 girls aged 16-18 completed this questionnaire. In my free lesson I put this data into pie charts to give a visual representation and allow percentages and comparisons to be seen clearly.
The questionnaire was as follows:

Please complete the following questionnaire:

This is for my media communication and production course and will help me when writing my articles for my final piece. Your details will not be published without your full consent and your privacy will be protected.  If you don’t feel comfortable answering the questions then don’t feel pressured into filling them in. Thank you for your help, it’s much appreciated!

Please circle what sex you are:                        FEMALE                                             MALE

How old are you?    ...........

1)      Would you ever shop for clothes in a charity shop?   ..................................

2)      Do you own any clothes from a charity shop?   ............................

3)      Do you mainly shop for high street fashions, e.g Topshop?  .................................

4)      Do you know what the difference is between ‘second-hand clothing’ and ‘vintage?.............................................................................................................................................

5)      Do you think that wearing clothes from charity shops is becoming more acceptable?.....................................

The results were:

Another challenge I set myself was to come up with sell lines to use on my front cover, I did this in a free period and found it relatively easy and quick to do. This will be a great benefit when creating my front cover and will save me time. My sell lines are shown below:

Friday's lesson consisted of me monitoring my week’s progress, as well as checking my blog was up to date and making note of what needs to be done over the weekend and next week. Overall I think this week I have done reasonably well to keep on top of my work, especially as I have had an exam. Next week I aim to complete the 'research into any additional information for my breakout boxes' for my fashion article, I aim to get done in free lessons next week.

Risk Assessment

Research for health article

Finding additional statistical research for individual stories/breakout boxes

This article is from http://www.healthspan.co.uk/articles/is-chocolate-good-for-you-the-pros-and-cons/ and discusses the pros and cons of chocolate on your health. I printed out this article and analysed it in terms of what facts and figures stood out to me and any interesting information that could be used as secondary data in my article. Some interesting facts I found included:

In Britain we consume over 80 million chocolate eggs each Easter (work out as 9kg p.p.)

Cocoa beans were once used as a form of currency (time of the Aztecs)

40g of chocolate contains more than 300mg of polyphenols- the same type of antioxidants that give red wine its heart-protecting reputation.

Dark chocolate obtains twice as many polyphenols.

British Medical Journal suggests that a daily meal, with 100g of dark chocolate could cut the risk of coronary heart disease by a massive 76%: could increase life expectancy for men by 6.5 years and women for 5 years.

Evidence found that eating 100g of dark chocolate a day could reduce blood pressure by an average of 5.1/ 1,8mmHg, which is enough to reduce the chance of a heart attack of stroke by 21%.

Chocolate increases brain levels of several chemicals, which produces a mild, confidence-instilling buzz. 

Language Identification: Fashion article

I will research into various magazines within the same genre as mine (women’s lifestyle) for fashion articles. I will especially look out for any that compare different fashions, as this is what my article will do. I am going to be looking out for any language techniques used and take note of them, at the same time I will be aware of stylistics; how the pages are laid out and colour schemes, etc.

In Elle there is a selection of 4 pages which look at certain elements of fashion and compare how they can be worn. The first page is titled, “How to wear... the new white dress” Underneath the title is a kicker “It’s a summer staple, but to make the white dress modern, pick an ultra-simple style, then add sporty accessories and sunshine” In terms of image to text ratio this article is very image orientated. There is a small paragraph of text next to each image, giving prices and where the items are from. Although simple, this article is effective in that it gives a visual representation to the audience and is laid out in a very professional way. The same layout and structure is consistent throughout all four pages, this makes it appear branded to the magazine.

Another page in Elle is covered in images of fashion items that the magazine recommends.  This is a singular colour scheme, which is white. There is little writing and where there is, it states the prices and stores. The following page is the same, but pastel coloured items, the page is busy, but effective.

Although the majority of fashion articles don’t have much text, there is one in Elle called, “Is this the future of fashion?” This article discusses what the future holds for fashion and whether Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest “have the power to turn fashion from an elite club into a (very stylish) global democracy”.  This article holds quite a serious tone, “The walls have come tumbling down.” However there are rhetorical questions, this will make the audience feel involved and less like they are reading a fact file. There are lighter tones, such as: “But once the genie is out of the bottle, there is no getting it back in...” The use of a fantasy/magical metaphor works well. There are a lot of quotes in this article to back up views given and they are from valid sources (which are stated in the article). This article is very text orientated. 

There is an interesting article in InStyle called “Pyjamas” and it goes through the ages of fashion and the most fashionable designs of pyjamas for that era. For example, “1930’s Beach chic” Under every date is a paragraph explaining the fashion and how it was relevant at the time. The language is chatty and casual, “If you’re not brave enough to rock a set, mix ‘n’ match with jeans or a jumper.” This makes the reader feel comfortable with the ideas and is followed with: “The one golden rule? High heels.” I think this article is very interesting and is an unusual take on fashion.

Another article in this magazine is called “The Look” and it compares the fashions worn by celebrities. There is a breakout box comparing their hair styles too. This article is very image orientated article, that doesn’t require much text.

Language Identification: Health article

In order to research well into language techniques, I will look through magazines within the women’s lifestyle genre and identify any language techniques used in a health article. This will give me ideas, helping me write my health article in a way that will appeal to my target audience. Whilst primarily looking at the language used, I will get an idea of layout and colour schemes at the same time.

One magazine I looked at was Glamour: This health article was called ‘What colour is your body craving?” The title is a rhetorical question that is interesting and draws in the audience, underneath the title is a picture of different fruits. There is a kicker: “The easiest way to a healthy body is eating a rainbow of food (and, no, Smarties don’t count!)” this quick sentence summarises the article, giving a fact as well as a hint of humour. The article begins, like the title, with a rhetorical question “You know you’re meant to eat your greens, but what about your oranges, purples and reds?” The use of second person immediately involves the reader, speaking directly to them; this works really well for health articles.  The article is then divided up into subheadings such as, “Purple” and “Green” these are each sub divided with “You want to”, “Other benefits” and “Fill up on” this is a simple structuring technique. There are a lot of quotes used in this article to give factual information. The breakout box has a title of “Is white alright?” followed with a “yes” answer and a “no” answer.   Overall this article is very factual and straight to the point, it offer valid evidence to back up points and includes rhetorical questions and is written in second person, directly addressing the audience.

Another health article in Glamour is called “Seeing your GP? Don’t hide these 5 facts” again there is a rhetorical question used. This is followed by a kicker: “What doesn’t seem important to you might be exactly that” it’s a contradicting kicker, that is thought-provoking, the audience will want to read on from this. This article is also written in second person and begins with the word “Your” again, giving a personal touch to the article. The article is separated (about half way down the page) into five columns each have a quote as the sub-header. An example of this is “I only drink at weekends...” then in each section there is a quote from a doctor to back up certain points made.

Another article is: “Glamour vs depression” The introduction states that a survey was carried out by Glamour and over “2,000” people responded. This survey is used throughout the article as evidence. It also uses real life stories and interviews. There is a breakout box with symptoms of depression to look out for, there are 9 symptoms listed in a simple way. There is another breakout box on the adjacent page “Five ways to break the taboo” this lists 5 different ways to help. There are quote inserts on the page and some results from the survey are in bold.   Overall this is a serious article addressing real life problems, however there are parts that are quite chatty and quite friendly, this is reassuring for the audience.  

In Elle there is a double-page article called “the truth about... Vitamin C” The introduction begins with “Fact:” and goes on to summarise the benefits of Vitamin C. There is then a subheading of “less is more” again stating facts about how much is recommended. The article is written in third person “Our bodies...” and “the exact amount we should be consuming” this makes the audience feel involved, and makes the article universal in that everyone is involved. The advice given is written in a factual, but friendly way. There are small diagrams of a bar chart and a pie chart, they give statistical data to back up points. Down the right hand side are more sub-headers that give advice on what products to buy and prices. This article is factual and effective, however it is very text orientated and doesn’t appeal to me through appearance, I will make my article much more attractive for my audience.

Contingency Plan

My Top Ten Project Killers

What could go wrong during production	How are you going to avoid this issue? What’s your back up plan?
Running out of post production time and not having software at home	I am going to ensure that I follow my schedule and if I miss any lessons or have any incomplete work I will catch up/ finish work during my frees or at home as homework. Any Photoshop or InDesign work will be completed at college in my free lessons, as I don’t have this software at home. Running out of time is the most likely problem for me, but I am aware of what I need to do and how tight my time schedule is. Therefore, I will organise my time better.
Fonts not installed on C drives	I will install all relevant fonts onto the C drive before I start my work on InDesign and Photoshop. This will be done in advance of any producing or editing, to ensure they are there. Should anything happen, for example the fonts are deleted, I am going to make a note of the names of fonts, or the hyperlinks for them, so they are easy to track down.
Models not turning up	I will make sure I have good communication with my models and they know what day, time and where to meet for the photo shoot. This is very important, as no models means no photo shoot. I will send a text to my models the day before the shoot as an extra reminder.
Running out of network space	This could be a huge problem, as the photographs will have to be stored on my network immediately. To avoid this happening I will make sure I delete any old photos, or documents I don’t need beforehand. I could also bring a USB stick as a backup.
Problems with the photos, could be underexposed, overexposed or out of focus.	This will be avoided by checking the photos on the camera as soon as they are taken. I will also ensure that the camera settings are correct and ask for any help or assistance if I am unsure.
Might lose a USB stick	I will save my work in more than one place, this is very important as there is a potential risk of me losing all my work. I will only use my USB stick for individual pieces of work and not for my whole project.
Model might not pose right, framing and eye line might be wrong.	Again, I will ensure I have good communication with my models. If they aren’t posing how I want I will politely ask them to move. I will assure them that if they don’t understand anything they shouldn’t hesitate to ask. I will be checking the photos as soon as they have been taken, so will be able to see if any adjustments need to be made. I will also be taking lots of photos, 50-60 photos so there is a wide range to choose from.
Computers crashing after you have spent hours perfecting a particular piece of work	I am very aware that this could happen, therefore to avoid this I will save my work after about 5 minutes. This will ensure my work is safe. I will also have a back-up copy of my work.
External shoots planned but bad weather causes me to abandon the shoot	To avoid this I will check the weather forecast regularly up to the day of the shoot. I will also have a back-up day, so if the first day isn’t appropriate I will have a day, for example the following week, available. I will inform my models of this plan.
Photo shoots taking a long time set up so that I am only left with a short time to get pictures	I will have a practice run of my shoot, this will involve me, on my own, setting up the props etc and see how long it takes me. This means that if I need help setting up the studio I have time to ask a friend to help. I will also book enough time for my photo shoot, so I don’t run over.

Monitoring log: Week 1

I have organised my schedule in a realistic way and at some points I have challenged myself to work harder and on a tighter schedule. My schedule has been organised so that I have time for my other subjects and there deadlines, and I have prioritised any exams I have coming up. I think that the main challenges in my schedule will be sticking to it and although I like to make sure my work is detailed, I must make sure I don’t overdo it, as this will affect other pieces of work. My main concern is running out of time so to avoid this I will complete any incomplete work in my free lessons or at lunchtimes, this way I won’t get behind on work.

My aims for this week were to complete my schedule, research into fonts and colour schemes and to begin planning my photo shoots. I have not completed my schedule yet, due to the amount of detail I am putting in and I didn’t give myself enough time to do this. I now aim to complete my schedule in free periods next week; however next week I will be prioritising revision- as I have an A-level geography exam. I have researched into the colours for each of my articles and have some ideas on which colours I will be using for each. This will help me later on when planning my photo shoots and layout of the page. I have started to get together ideas for my photo shoot for my health article about chocolate. During the remainder of this lesson I will produce a mind map of ideas- I think this will help me come to a practical and imaginative decision.

In terms of homework for this week I have completed 3/4 homework tasks. I completed my contingency plan in one of my free lessons, I think this really helped me come to terms with any potential problems I may have. I also created a new blog where I will be uploading my work on a regular basis; this was quick and easy to do. I also completed the task of creating a mood board of ideas for my photo shoot, this was useful and has given me some good photo shoot ideas. (see image below) 


The one task I haven’t completed is my schedule, but as I said it took me longer than I anticipated to complete the first 3 weeks. (My incomplete schedule can be seen below)

Schedule

­Week	Date	Activity
1	7th Jan	1 Schedule Creation: this week I will be creating a realistic schedule in order to ensure I meet the deadline on the 15th February. The objectives that were outlined in my treatment will be completed by this deadline. This schedule will be a realistic, detailed and outline targets in and out of class time. Homework activities will be completed in study time and there should be 3 tasks per week. However, I will have to take into consideration other subject deadlines and exams. I will also set up an organised file structure named ‘Unit 5’ this will ensure all of my work is stored in one area.   2 Schedule Creation: Today I will continue to create my schedule and look at other commitments I have in my other A Levels including scheduled exams – this will enable me to produce a realistic schedule. In order to do this I will need to ask my other subject teachers about deadlines for homework/coursework during the next six weeks. I will then begin to plan out the next two weeks of my schedule in detail, whilst prioritising what needs doing first.   3 Font/Colour research: Today I will be researching into different fonts that I will use in my articles, this is likely to be done on www.dafont.com as it offers a wide range of different fonts. I will choose fonts that are suitable to my audience, as well as the content of the article. I will also research into other magazines from the same genre, I will look at the different colour schemes for different articles and how the colour scheme works with the article.   4 Project Monitoring & Photo shoot plans/ Locating reference material to co-ordinate lighting, costume, poses for photo shoots: During this lesson I will assess my achievements during this week, I will go into detail on how well I have done this week and any improvements that I could make- this will be done on a weekly basis. After this I will begin to plan my photo shoots for my other two double page spread articles. I will sketch out some ideas and use my flat plans to aid me. This will also include me creating a collage of images, which will give me ideas.   Homework 1: In one of my free lessons I will set up my A2 blog on www.blogspot.com This will be where I present my work during this part of the course.   Homework 3: Complete the schedule during my free lessons.   Homework 2: I will create my contingency plan explaining what could go wrong and how I can avoid any issues. This will include about 10 potential problems and a detailed account of how I will reduce the risk of these happening.    Exams/other subject deadlines: Friday 11th- World development coursework deadline.
2	14th Jan	1 Language identification and planning & Article planning: This lesson will involve me planning my articles and the language techniques I will use within them. This will involve the tone of my article, any semantic fields which I choose to use, persuasive language, humour, etc. I will begin to write a draft of each article, which I will then analyse and complete as homework.   2 Finding additional statistical research for each individual story/breakout boxes & Researching story style and how to write/structure stories: For the first part of this lesson (45 mins) I will research into facts and figures that may be used in my break out box in my health article on chocolate. These will be short, snappy facts that will interest my audience. For the second part of this lesson (45 mins) I will research into prices for high street fashions, this will be relevant for my article on charity vs high street fashion.   3 Carrying out the questionnaire & Writing headers, sells, & copy for each of my three articles/front cover: I will create a quick questionnaire that will be aimed at people in my target audience asking questions such as, “Do you think that wearing clothes from charity shops is becoming more acceptable?” there will be about 5 or 6 quantitative questions, this will allow me to make comparisons and include results in my article. I will then carry out the questionnaire I created in the previous lesson and put the results onto pie charts in Excel. I will then begin to write my headers and sell lines for each article and also for my front cover. Whilst doing this I will begin to think about the layout and plan of my front cover.   4 Project Monitoring & Catch up on work that may not have been completed during the week:  During this lesson I will assess my achievements during this week, I will go into detail on how well I have done this week and any improvements that I could make- this will be done on a weekly basis. I will then have time to go back through this week’s work and catch up on any incomplete work.   Homework 1:  Monday- Complete research for each articles   Homework 2:  Friday- Complete any incomplete work   Exams/other subject deadlines: Thursday 17th- Geography Skills exam. Dedication to revision time.
3	21stJan	1 Today I will carry out model and personnel meetings for both my health article and my fashion article. I will ask each individual model for their timetable of the week and ask which day and time would suit them best. I understand some people do not have free periods when others do, so I will ask my models if they mind and their teachers will mind if they miss some of a lesson to be in a photo shoot. I am having this meeting a week or at least a few days in advance so that my models have time to organised time off with their teachers and this will also give me an opportunity to find replacement models, should I need to. This lesson will consist of me being extremely organised and making clear notes on when the best time would be. I will then book my photo shoot for the appropriate time and date- either at some point next week or the latter part of this week. I will then buy the props that I need for this photo shoot, which in this case include chocolates. I can do this in a free lesson and buy it from the local shop.   2 During this lesson I plan to start creating my health article double page spread. I will do this on a new document in InDesign and will use other magazines in the same genre (Elle, Company, Glamour, etc) and create a layout which is familiar to my target audience. Once I have created the general layout of this article I will be able to insert my images (after Friday) and my article text. I will have an image covering the left page and three columns of text on the right page, including a masthead, kicker and breakout box. In this lesson I will arrange the page, ready to insert the text and images.     3 This lesson will be dedicated to writing up my health article; I should have all the appropriate information and facts to write it up. I will use the language identification and planning sheet that I prepared last week. I aim for the article to be between 400 and 500 words long and to take up 2 columns.   4 Project Monitoring & THE DAY OF MY PHOTO SHOOT During this lesson I will assess my achievements during this week, I will go into detail on how well I have done this week and any improvements that I could make- this will be done on a weekly basis. This is also the day of my first photo shoot, during my free period I will carry out the photo shoot. This photo shoot will be for my health article, as well as my front cover. The costumes will be the same for both; however the poses and angles will be different. I will then spend my media lesson going through each photograph individually and deciding which ones I will use and would be best suited for my article. I will also create a contact sheet- this will show each photograph and have comments on how good or bad they are. I will create this using the program Adobe Bridge, which will allow me to view a lot of images on one document.   Homework 1: Complete call sheets   Homework2: Work on InDesign, improving my first double page spread- Happy Never After? This will include me going back and looking at my audience feedback (from my focus group).   Homework 3: Proof read my health article and ask a friend to read it too. This will ensure there are no mistakes or errors and that it flows/ is fluent to read. I can also gain an opinion of a peer, who I will ask for a critical view as well as a positive one.   Exams/other subject deadlines: World Development Coursework Final Draft Due- Friday  &   On-going English Coursework.
4	28th  Jan	1 Continue to work on my health article, compare it to other magazines within the genre.   2 The production of my front cover. I will at this point have an image selected and edited ready for my front cover. During this lesson I will begin to put together my front cover with a pink, blue and black and white colour scheme. The image will be a central mid-shot one and the sell-lines will be down both the left and right side.   3 Continue to work on my front cover.   4 Project Monitoring & Complete my front cover During this lesson I will assess my achievements during this week, I will go into detail on how well I have done this week and any improvements that I could make- this will be done on a weekly basis. I also aim to complete my front cover during this lesson.   Homework 1: Complete health article. I hope to have this done by Tuesday.   Homework 2: Install all fonts for my front cover.   Homework 3: Complete any unfinished work from this week.   Exams/other subject deadlines: Friday 1st- English coursework draft due in, 3000 word essay.
5	4th Feb	1 During this lesson I will begin to produce my contents page. I will choose a magazine within the same genre and get initial ideas from it. I want my contents page to be a relatively simple layout and easy to follow. However I will not be able to add an image until after next Wednesday, as I will take photographs for both my fashion article and contents page then.   2 Continuing to work on contents page- complete during this lesson.   3 NOT IN LESSON- University Open Day   4 Project Monitoring & Redraft/ First draft of fashion article. During this lesson I will assess my achievements during this week, I will go into detail on how well I have done this week and any improvements that I could make- this will be done on a weekly basis. I will then write up my fashion article; I aim to write about 300 words and will use my content research as guidance and facts/figures.   Homework 1: Book photo shoot and equipment for next Wednesday.   Homework 2: Give call sheets to my four models for the fashion photo shoot.   Homework 3: Proof read article and ask a peer to read through it.   Exams/other subject deadlines: 18th birthday on Monday. Off college on Wednesday, due a University Open Day.
6	11th Feb	1 Setting up pages In design – getting measurements right. This lesson will consist of me setting up my InDesign page for the fashion article.   2 Go through other products and complete them or make any necessary changes, use this lesson as catch up time.   Wednesday- Media photo shoot booked for 2:10pm.   3 During this lesson I will place my images into InDesign   4 In order to give me more class time I will complete my final Project Monitoring as homework. This lesson I will be constructing my fashion article, I hope to have the majority of this done by this lesson, as I have a free period on Wednesday and 3 free lessons on Thursday, these will be used for the production of this article. Today’s lesson will also require me to upload my products onto Moodle in the designated Unit 5 products page.   Homework 1: Create contact sheet of images from the shoot and review materials, choose which images to use in the article. This can be done straight after the photo shoot on Wednesday.   Homework 2: Go through images and select which four I will use for my fashion article and which one I will use on my contents page. I will then use my free periods to edit these photos in Photoshop.   Homework 3: Start to create the fashion article during free periods on Wednesday and Thursday.   Homework 4: Project Monitoring for the final week; I will assess my achievements during this week, I will go into detail on how well I have done this week and any improvements that I could make- this will be done on a weekly basis.   Exams/other subject deadlines: Unit 5 Deadline Friday 15th Feb –projects to be uploaded to Moodle World Development Final Deadline for all 3 coursework pieces.
Half term	18th Feb	Homework: Complete Monitoring and make sure that blog entries are up to date.
