Diary Entry - Week Eleven: 11th – 14th April 2011

The final deadline for our finished music magazine was Thursday this week, so I used every lesson this week as well as after school most days to add my finishing touches and make my final pages as professional as possible. By on Thursday 14th, everything was uploaded to the school hard drive and my blog, so that over the Easter holidays I can complete my evaluation.

Media Coursework: Week by Week Guide

This is a scanned in copy of the hand-drawn calendar I made myself to make sure I kept up to date with diary entries, and knew exactly what had been done in each lesson to ensure no time was wasted in the process of completing my coursework.

Diary Entry - Week Ten: 4th – 8th April 2011

Following advice from multiple people who looked at my rough cuts, I used Monday this week to re-take the images for my double page spread, as my original one was slightly out of focus on the face. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were used to continue improving my rough cuts and to re-draft my double page spread using the new and improved image. On Friday, we were given an explanation of the different ways we could evaluate our product, which I will begin to do following the final deadline on Thursday next week.

Diary Entry – Week Nine: 28th March – 1st April 2011

The deadline to have the rough cut first drafts of my cover, contents page and double spread uploaded was five o’clock on Monday this week, and the following day I received feedback of these from both my teacher and the other students in my class (who are conveniently all part of my target market). After learning what they liked and thought could be improved about my magazine, I was able to type up these comments and upload them to my blog, and then in my remaining three lessons I began to work on my second drafts based on their advice.
