Production Schedule and monitoring document

Week	Date	Activity
1	13th Jan	1 Schedule Creation: In this first week I will be creating my schedule, by creating a schedule it means I will be able to do tasks that will make it easier for me to complete by project by February 15th, by doing small tasks it means I will be able to have a much more organised project and it means it will have been done more efficiently. 2 Schedule Creation: Today I will be looking at my other A levels and seeing what other commitments I have to commit to, this will include other coursework deadlines, trips and even exams, this means my schedule will be very realistic and up to date. But in order to be able to do this I will need ask my other teachers the situation with my certain deadlines with in the next 6 weeks. 3 By this lesson I will have finished my planning, due to the fact this week is only 3 day week, I am off college for 2 days, I will use these 2 days to finish my planning off, and therefore this means I will be able to complete my blog. 4 Project Monitoring – For 20 minutes of every last lesson of the week, Mark will assess our progress so far, then I will carry on with what ever activity I have set my self, but due to the fact we aren’t in this Thursday, this activity can not be completed. On Thursday due to being off, I am going to go in to go in to town and buy some props, I will then come and do my photoshoot with Callum due to the fact this is the only time that he is free, and I feel because I have already done a photoshoot with Josh, doing mine with Callum first means I will be able to know what im doing and get straight in to it as it is pretty straight forward.  On the Friday of this week I will be doing my photoshoot Josh, even though I have already done this one I feel I will benefit if I try again, now knowing how I need him to pose and the best way to look, this means I will get the best outcome. Then on the weekend, I will hopefully do it with Thomas, by doing it with Thomas means I will have them all done and ready and I will be able to do it with Thomas in my free time and his.   Homework 1: To find out my Travel and Film deadlines. Homework 2: Finish my blog. Homework 3: Make sure my plan is finished. Exams/other subject deadlines:  Film creative coursework – film making is to take place with in the next month, Travel and Tourism dealing 30th Jan.
2	20th Jan	1 In today’s lesson I have decided it would be a good idea to have a look at some magazine articles in sports magazines, just before I start production, as I feel there could be a little font style or breakout box that I feel could work well in one of my Double Page Spread’s so it would be a good idea to just before I go in to production to have one little look at some magazines which may be able to enhance my magazine and give it another dimension. 2 In the second lesson of the week I think it will be a good idea to do a bit of font research, if I’m able to download some fonts that I feel will do a good an effective job now, it means that later on I will not be worrying about fonts and spending half an hour looking for fonts when I could be doing something worth while and productive.  I think this will be good as it means my project will be a lot more organised, and it means I wont be worrying and rushing later on during production. I will do this for half an hour then figure out my exact colour codes. If I go in to In Design and choose my exact colours, I can the not down the codes and it means that when I go on to do my pages I will be able to just type in a certain colour code for a certain breakout box or on my kicker, and it means like everything I have done this week it will be a little more organised and efficient. 3 In today’s lesson I think it will be a good idea to plan my sell lines, this is because, like doing my font research it means things will already be done and I will be able to just put them straight in to my Double Page Spread’s meaning that it will seem a lot more organised and a lot more efficient. 4 Project Monitoring & In today’s lesson I will start writing my second article, which is called “Jumpers for Goalposts” I feel this is a good time to do it because even thought its not this first week or the earliest in to the production it is still near the start and I feel if I write my articles now then I will be able to go over them later on and see if I can add anything that will improve it. Homework 1: Make sure everything I have done this week is finished. Complete if not. Homework 2: finish off my “Jumpers for Goalposts” Article. Exams/other subject deadlines: My Travel deadline will be extremely soon so therefore I will be making that a priority to get that done. My film production will still be carrying on so that make a few of my frees up.
3	27stJan	1 In this lesson I will write my last article, this is called “Try Harder”. If I have a week which is dedicated to my articles and not jumbled up, it means that my week will be a little more focused and it means I may be able to get it finished. 2 In this lesson I will finish off my two articles If I have finished them off meaning that they will hopefully be finished by the end of the week, meaning next week I can move on to something else. 3 I will in this lesson do some small photo edits, getting my self back in to photoshop and make sure that they look good enough to be put in to my Double Page Spread. I think it will be good to edit my photo’s because it means that my photo’s will look the best they can and hopefully the edit may be able to do something that gives a good effect to the article. 4 Project Monitoring & In this lesson I think a good idea is to start my front cover, because if I start now it means I that I feel I will have started my magazine, as the front cover is the first thing you can see. It also means that I will be underway with my project. Homework 1: Carry on with front cover Homework 2: I will go through my flat plans ready for next week, and see if I think anything needs changing. Exams/other subject deadlines: This week it will be the hand in of my Travel coursework so that will take priority.
4	3rd   Feb	1 In this lesson, I will get my self up to date with InDesign, In here I am going to set up my templates and then saving them, by doing this when it comes to starting my production I will have some pages already set up so I can go straight in and set them up according to how I want them. This also means when I come to my production I wont be spending a lesson getting to grips again with it, it means that will be able to go straight in and I will know how to do certain things.  2 In this lesson I will then put my articles and photographs in, meaning that next lesson I can start my production and start really getting down to it. 4 Project Monitoring & In this lesson I will start on my first Double Page Spread “Broken Dreams”, and making it, now my articles and photographs are in, it means that I am able to start on my first part of production, setting it out, putting in my colours and break out boxes, this will hopefully be simple and pretty straight forward if I follow my flat plans. Homework 1:  Try carry on with my first double page spread in my frees. Homework 2 : try get my front cover done. Homework 3: Try get my Contents done. Exams/other subject deadlines: tbc
5	10th  Feb	1 In this lesson I will carry on with my first Double Page Spread and try get it finished, try use my time wisely and get it finished, by doing this it means I can get on to my next Double Page Spread. 2 In this lesson I will start putting together my second Double Page Spread, “Jumpers for Goal Posts” 3 In this lesson I will try finish my second Double Page Spread. 4 Project Monitoring & In this lesson I will start my last Double Page Spread “Try Harder” Homework 1: In my frees carry on with my second DPS Homework 2:  In my free’s carry on with my 3rd DPS Homework 3: Exams/other subject deadlines:

6	24th	1 At the start of this week I will try getting my last Double Page Spread finished. After this it will be a contingency week, by creating a contingency week I feel it will benefit me very well as I will have time to go over and look at certain things, and if certain things have gone wrong I will be able to go back to them and sort them out and not be stressed about it. 2 I will go over my 3 Double Page Spreads, and see if there is anything that I can change. 3 I will do one last check over them all. 4 Project Monitoring & I will make sure Mark thinks they are good enough.
