Project Monitoring 20th-26th

This week I have managed to finish my master template in In-design. This is good progress as I am ready to boost in the content for my project. However, problem occurred on the previous Friday as i had not be able to get hold of an SLR Digital camera. THIS WAS A PROBLEM. I am now having to re-schedule my photo-shoot date which requires much organising. This is because the band I am shooting for the DPS will need to get back to me on a date for the next gig. This is vitally important, whether or not they have a show will determine what I will move on to in the weeks to come. The schedule is thoroughly planned yet i haven't thought of any contingency planning as it the shoot has failed. I now have three options to choose from;

  1. Start a new article altogether which could cause a lot of back logged work.
  2. Arrange a different date wishfully thinking that a gig will be organised in the next week.
  3. If this fails I wont be able to get live show shots, instead i will ask a couple of band members into college for a photography shoot in the studio.
Whilst I am waiting on making a decision I will be making progress on the layout of the DPS and moving onto my article drafts. I have managed to finish my treatment which has helped me keep up to date with my initial project planning. One thing I have recently found out is to do with my third DPS, 'A Taste of Tyneside'. This article is based on the 'Chicken Parmo' a very popular take-away meal in the North-East, so popular it is becoming a part of the Northern culture. However on previous research I believed the dish came from Tyneside which isn't true it's in fact 'Teesside'! This means I need to make minor alterations to my project planning activities such us, article drafts, plans and flat plans. 

I have been able to keep on top of my additional work this week as well as finishing off my treatment. This pieces include finalising all my article plans, photo shoot plans, call-sheets, flat plans and the drafts to my 'regular' articles. All of these will be uploaded further on tonight and tomorrow through the day as I have managed to free up some extra time for my product. One contingency to my project is worrying about how little time we actually have through the week. This week has flown by therefore it's making me think about the work i need to finish as quick as possible. 

Research: This week i have managed to come across plenty of fonts that i will be using in the weeks to come, with this visual art from the fonts I am able to take my project that little bit further giving me an over all view of finishing up the product.
