Monitoring log 24th Jan

Monitoring log 19^th- 24^th Jan

This week my schedule had on it for me to complete all of my blog/ planning work so I am able to start my production next week, I have completed all of it this week and I was able to start improving my old double page spread that I did at the beginning of the year. This week I completed the remainder of blog work that I had to do which was article plans at the beginning of the week and then contingency plans and a call sheet, I completed all this by Thursday and was able to start production later on in the Thursday. This week everything went smoothly as I completed everything early rather than having to rush everything that I was meant to do on my schedule. This week I have not had to use any contingency planning as nothing went wrong in my planning.

This is an example of one of the article plans that I have done this week, It is literally making the article easier for me to write as I can plan what is going to be involved in it, such as the narrative voice it allows me to think how I am going to talk to or address the audience that is reading my magazine, and also it allows me to plan how I want to structure this article for example in the ‘Top 5 Games of 2013’ article I have said that each game in the countdown is going to have its own profile on the page where I talk about why it got to its position in the countdown.

This is an example of the contingency plan that I had done this week, this will help me when I get into the production stage, because if I have a problem that is on my contingency plan it will easily tell me how I can overcome or make sure that the problem does not occur during the production stage.

So far I have not learnt anything new in my production stage, I believe that this is because I am not that far into the production stage as I am only improving the double page spread that I did at the beginning of the year. I think my client would not be impressed nor disappointed in my progress this week as I have not got into the production stage yet but I believe I will still be able to create an effective product. I am not worried in the progress of my work as I am now able to start production which gives me enough time to create an effective product.
