Progress:
This week I started to complete my AS Treatment Handbook. I also started to draw up/think of front cover designs and article ideas. This week, I concentrated solely on the post production process making sure that everything was ready for the next week when I was starting my actual unit 3 Production.
Day 1: I started to complete my AS Treatment Handbook, I also completed the Story Style Planning Document, and this was a plan of everything that I wanted to include in my production so I had a plan to run off when it came to the production process.
Day 2: I continued with my AS Treatment Handbook, trying to get this completed. I also finished drawing the first ideas for the front cover. I changed the title from ‘UNKNOWN’ to ‘SMASHED’ this was because it seemed to have more of an effect and looked like more effort had been put into the magazine.
Day 3: I finally finished the AS Treatment Handbook, with this out of the way I was able to continue with the rest of the pre production process. By now, I had started to think of some article ideas in detail, using my research to find out things that would be relevant to put in.
Day 4: By now, I had started to put all of my ideas together to form an idea that I wanted to use on my final product. Bearing this in mind, I drew up a final flat plan of my front cover.
I feel as though this week, everything went to plan and there were no major problems that prevented the progress of my production from running smoothly. I would say that the only problem for me was the lack of inspiration and ideas. I had to spend a lot of time doing extra research on what my target audience are in to and how to create the front cover that will appeal to this.
This week, there were no major technical skills that I have learnt because most of my work was done by hand. For example, all of my drawings were done by hand as I thought that I could replicate my ideas better through hand drawing rather than trying to find pictures etc. from the Internet and then editing them in Photoshop. This also, would have been extremely time consuming, leaving little time for the rest of my pre production process.
Targets:
This week, I am going to have to complete the pre production process so that my actual production can start.
Day 1: I am going to double check my page ideas and I am going to complete my mood board so that this can be handed in.
Day 2: I am going to use InDesign to design my double page spread and get the initial layout sorted s that it is ready to then just place all of my information, articles and pictures into it.
Day 3: On this day, I will double check my Unit 3 folder to make sure that I have everything up to date and ready to be handed in. I will also continue with the article lay out.
Day 4: I want to start placing some text into the article layout, downloading fonts etc. I also want to start creating my front page on Photoshop.
I will have to make sure that I am extremely organised so that I can get the first part of my Unit 3 folder handed in and out of the way so that I can concentrate solely on the production process. I will have to make sure that the computers are free when I need them because if I can’t get a computer then I won’t be able to complete the work as I don’t have the computer programmes at home.
I will also have to learn and use a range of technical skills. This includes efficient use of Photoshop and InDesign. I will have to learn how to edit text, the colours, photos etc. And how to place everything I want on the page in a way that looks professional and not overcrowded.
Contingencies:
The problems I may encounter next week are just problems with the computers. They may not be available or there may be technical problems with them that stop me from making progress. If these problems occur, then I will have to make use of my time. I would draw my ideas etc. Instead of starting to put them through on to the computers.
