Week	Date	Activity
1	5th Jan	Lesson 1: Catch up This lesson I plan to catch up on my blog work; for this I will continue with my contingency plans to hopefully complete within the week. For this I will need to think of possible scenarios that could cause my magazine planning to go wrong; this will require a lot of thought and time so may last up to two – 3 lessons. Lesson 2: In lesson 2, I am planning to work more on my second article, “False Faces And Phoney Figures.” As I have already begun this as homework, I will most likely be able to complete this in the hour and a half lesson. This will include collecting a lot of data, research and statistics to include in my article, as it is a serious expose, this type of factual content will be most useful to the target audience. Lastly, when I have completed this, I will give it to Becky for any further improvement to be made. Lesson 3: This lesson I will use this time to catch up on my blog work. I will complete my second article for my DPS, “False Faces And Phoney Figures” in order to get caught up on past work; however before adding this to my blog, I will first give the first draft of the article to Becky for improvements. Lastly, I must add this to my blog along with my other finished articles. I will also begin the schedule plan for the next few weeks. Lesson 4: Project Monitoring & catch up: For Friday’s lesson I will ensure that I check how much I have caught up with work and how much I have left to complete (from black folder and blog) As well as this I am continuing to work through the blog checklist; I need to add my pitch from PowerPoint and successfully complete all three article planning sheets; this will not take a very long time as I have already written all three article, so I am able to answer all questions easily and correctly. Homework 1: Continue improvements for black folder; this will include completing my treatment and constraints work. Homework 2: This week I plan to complete more blog work in order to get up to date. To do this I will complete my article planning sheet for my second article “False faces and phoney faces” After I have done this, I will then add this to my blog. Homework 3: Add second Festive article to my blog. Exams/other subject deadlines:
2	12th Jan	Lesson 1: Exam week Lesson 2: Schedule planning This lesson I plan to create my schedule in order to be more organized over the next few weeks of production. I will begin with the week before Christmas, talking through what work I did each lesson within the week. After this, I also aim to complete other boxes in the schedule template, in order to talk about what I have done in Media throughout the last week, as well as the next two weeks. Also, as I am only in college for three days this week (and only have one Media lesson) I will complete other work, such as blog catch up, as homework. Lastly, I have booked a photo-shoot for the 28th of January (Wednesday) for my “False Faces and Phoney Figures” article. Lesson 3: Exams Lesson 4 Project Monitoring: Exams Homework 1: I am planning to complete my black folder improvements for next week’s deadline, this will consist of my Treatment and constraints work that I need to complete. Homework 2: Secondly, I need to add more content to my blog from the checklist; I need to complete my third article and add my pitch from PowerPoint.  Homework 3: For this week, I will only be completing two sections of homework for media, as other subjects have closer deadlines. Exams/other subject deadlines: English language – Data investigation, further development (Monday 19th Jan)
3	19th Jan	Lesson 1: Production In Monday’s lesson I will begin producing my first DPS, which will be my first mock up of “Your Festival Survival Guide”. However, I will continue improving this mock up (looking at audience feedback) to help maintain positive aspects and lose any negative aspects. This will include altering the actual DPS’ style, layout, colour scheme etc as well as the article; I have already got plenty of feedback stating what to change and what to maintain within the magazine.  Additionally, I created two different articles for this DPS, from this feedback I will be able to choose the correct one that is most favored by the audience. Lesson 2: This lesson I will be continuing with improvements on my first article and DPS, I am able to do this by looking at recent questionnaires that I recently asked my target audience; due to this, this particular article wont take too long to complete, as I only need to make improvements. When I have completed this newest version of my DPS, I will ask some of my classmates and Becky what they think of it and if it could still be improved, if so, I will continue improving. Lesson 3: In this lesson, I plan to begin creating my contents page for my magazine; I have created a flat plan for this, which I can follow whilst making it. I will create this using Photoshop, as it will work better containing photos than InDesign. Lesson 4 Project Monitoring & blog catch up: At the end of the week, I am planning to complete more of the blog checklist; I am also aiming to have done most of my blog work as homework, in order to have more lesson time participating in production of my magazine. Secondly, if I do happen to have time after completing my blog checklist, I aim to start making photo-shoot plans; organizing how my models are going to get here, when to bring props and clothing in etc. Homework 1: Organize first photo shoot in further detail, in terms of models, props and clothing. Secondly, get my blog up to date if it already is not. Homework 2: English language, data investigation project. Homework 3: Exams/other subject deadlines:
4	26th Feb	Lesson 1: Production In Monday’s lesson, I aim to begin my second DPS which is “False Faces and Phoney Figures” I am planning to create the layout (from my flat plan) as well as creating the correct columns and colour scheme, in order to do this properly, I will copy straight from my flat plan, making my plans consistent. My photo shoot for this DPS will take place on Wednesday 26th February, meaning that the photos will be applied to the DPS on Thursdays lesson. Lesson 2: In this lesson, I will be taking photos in the studio for my photo shoot. In preparation for this, I will plan when my model will arrive, how to get the props into college and provide the correct clothing for the model to wear. I have also completed my contingency plans, in order to be prepared for anything that could go wrong and how to avoid it. After the photo shoot is complete, I will check through the photos on the camera before we leave the studio, making sure that most photos are of good quality. I will then put the photos onto my account on my computer. Lesson 3: This lesson I aim to look through my photos and choose a suitable one/ two to include in my DPS; this will require taking time to go through all photos, seeing how I could improve them on photo shop and finalizing it down to a few good quality pictures. This will most likely take the entire lesson to complete, however if I do have time at the end I will begin to apply them to my DPS layout. Lesson 4 Project Monitoring & Production: On Fridays lesson, I am going to continue working on my second DPS; I may have begun editing and choosing photos in lesson 3, although if not, I must begin searching through my photos that I recently took and choose up to three good quality photos. Additionally, I could also edit some pictures that only contain minor negative aspects e.g. lighting or angle. Homework 1: Homework 2: Homework 3: Exams/other subject deadlines:

Lesson 2 This lesson I must continue working on my third DPS, adding my article and gaining some improvements or if there is anything I need to change. Due to this being an hour and a half lesson, I may complete this DPS in this lesson, if this does happen I will create a first draft of my front cover. I will begin thinking of headlines and the layout of the front cover, as well as different fonts that I could include to convey correct connotations to my audience. Lesson 3 I must complete third DPS if not already finished, if it is I will ensure to continue working through my front cover on Photoshop, designing the layout and searching for various different fonts that will be appropriate for my magazine front cover (DaFont.com) Lesson 4 Project Monitoring & Fonts: I will search for multiple fonts this lesson on the website DaFont.com.
