Why do you think it's important to produce a schedule of activities when working on a production?

Its important to schedule activities so that you don't get overflowed with the different things you have to do.

Name 3 activities you're likely to struggle with?

I'm likely to struggle with the photos, the editing of the photos and the Logo design.

What are you going to do in order to achieve these difficult activities?

I'm going to learn a editor to edit the photos and logos in and practice my camera work.

NEA Part 8 - Casting

In this blog post, I will be deciding what actors / models that I will use in my product.

Name : Leo Waddington:

Age : 10

Gender : Male

Appearance : Blue eyes, blond hair.

What makes him suitable : Factors that make him suitable are that he is a year six boy (aged 10) which is the target audience for my magazine and that he is quite accessible because he does extra curricula school clubs that could be partly missed to take shots.

What makes him unsuitable : He can not want to take shot for the magazine which would mean that I would have to find another accessible person to take pictures for my magazine with.

NEA Part 7 - Locations

In this task, I will be deciding on what locations to take shots for my magazine.

I plan to use Thurrock gorge (RM16 6YH) to take pictures for brighter and more colourful shots because it is accessible and can be used in lots of different ways. Risks and hazards include: the public or wildlife could disrupt the shots as it is a public place and the ground can get muddy quickly if it rains so I will have to choose the days of my shots based round the weather for that day.

I could also use Harrow Lodge Primary School for shots on school classrooms. I have chosen this because it's also accessible; however, the students may disrupt some shots that I will take.

In conclusion, I have learnt that there are more places that I can easily access to take photos than I thought I could take pictures in. I'm also going to use this knowledge to think of any different locations that I could use although I don't think I need anymore.
