Production Task Two : Production Log

You must now keep a production log as you create your magazine covers, contents pages and website.

Think of your production log as being like a diary of the production work you complete.

It should include lots of screenshots of work that you do in Photoshop and via Wix.

It is a good idea to set a 5 minute alarm on your phone when working in Photoshop. Every 5 minutes, take a screen shot of your work at that point.

Remember that your recommended workflow should be as follows:

1. Cover 1
2. Cover 2
3. Contents 1
4. Contents 2
5. Website home page
6. Website linked page

Your production log should be made up of lots of different posts, each one detailing what production work you have completed as your NEA production work develops.

Your production log is the evidence that the examiner will see regarding how you produced your work. It is what they use to quality assure the fact that you have done the work yourself.

Production Task One : Photography

You should have planned the photography that you need for your magazine covers, contents pages and website.

Remember that you do not have to take the photographs yourself but whoever takes the photographs must be doing so under your direction.

My advice is to take more photographs than you think you will need.

TASK

Create a post on your blog titled Production Task One : Photography

In this post write an explanation of the process you followed to actually take your photographs.

Include lots of photographs that you have taken - don’t just include the ones you think you are going to use.

If you have any ‘behind the scenes’ photographs of your photography sessions, brilliant! Include them.

The final thing you have to do in this post is clearly identify the images that you are going to use for

• Cover 1
• Contents Page 1
• Cover 2
• Contents Page 2 and,
• on your website.

If you have any questions, please ask.
