Today I came in again during period 3+4 on my frees to try and finish my institutions to ensure that I will have no difficuilites when trying to meet my deadline for the 5th of November. I am just coming up to the end of the first period and have finished my institutions slides therefore now I am going to go through the task sheet seeing if there is anything else I can complete or start on. I will probably make a start on either the representations or audience slides.

In today's lesson I was set my deadline that I must complete before I get back from half term. Therefore I have until the 5th to finish my representations, institutions, existing names etc. However although I have alot of work to still complete my teacher is pleased with the progress that I am making and what work I have produced at home. Hopefully once I have finished my deadline I will be able to start the planning for the production of my Rn'B magazine.

As I was away for the whole weekend I decided that I would put a bit of time aside tonight to try and catch up and try and get on track with all of my coursework. I decided that I would only focus on one piece of work being my codes and conventions for my double page spreads. I want to try and finish it by the end of tonight and then on Wednesday's lesson I will be able to start my representations.

Tonight as I'm staying in and have a busy weekend ahead I have decided to try and get some more of my coursework done mainly concentrating on trying to finish the codes and conventions for both contents page and double page spread. This is because I don't want to be behind with my work as I have enough work to do in other subjects therefore don't want aload of work loaded on my to do in the half term. If i manage to finish the codes and conventions I'm hoping to move onto representations however I'm not certain that I will manage that tonight.

In today's lesson my teacher wasn't in so we had a sub. However even though our media teacher wasn't in I was determined to finished my codes and conventions for my front cover. I was prepared to concentrate fully right until the end of the day and I successfully met my target as I finished my codes and conventions effectively and in the time I was given. Therefore next lesson I am planning to make a start on my codes and conventions for my contents page. I may even start it at home and aim to finish it by the weekend as today was my last media lesson of the week.

In today's lesson I had my first lesson with Mr Fisher and then the second lesson with Miss Baker. In my second lesson I was set a task to start with my codes and conventions powerpoint applying it to a new range of magazines which I hadn't already analysed. All the codes and conventions had to be applied to a new front cover, contents page, and double page spread. The codes and conventions that we had to discuss in our analysis were things such as masthead, sell lines, price, barcode, websites etc. All of this work when complete will be put onto my blog for the examiner to see.

Double Page Spread Analysis
Representations: In all of the three double page spreads analysed above the magazine that I've annotated that I believe I can compare to how I'm planning my magazine to turn out the most would be the magazine that focuses on Beyonce Knowles. This is due to the fact that when I produce my magazine I want the genre to be based on R'n'B. I have choosen R'n'B as I believe that it is the easiest genre to do as I can relate to it in more depth to an opposing genre such as classsical as I enjoy listening to R'n'B myself. This can be linked to the uses and gratifications theory of personal entertainment, as I choose to listen to the specific time of music in my spare time. In the magazine that stars Beyonce Knowles inspires my magazine to follow the key codes and conventions as I believe that this particular magazine is very successful and engages the audiences effectively. Similarly the way Beyonce has been dress and portrayed really emphasises the genre of music that she is trying to convey.

In today's lesson we got the chance to present our annotated front page, contents page and double page spread. It was a good experience and task as it got my whole group thinking on particular ways of wording and the specific terminology that must be used when trying to analyse all of the key conventions of a magazine. We presented in front of the whole class and got constructive feedback which was very helpful as it allowed us to know exactly what we needed to do to improve and what we could add to make it even better and to add further detail. All of the constructive feedback and criticism ensured that we wouldn't make any mistakes in our final deconstruction of the magazines that we choose.

In today's lesson we were put into group's by our teacher. We were divided into group's that she thought we could be productive in. During the double lesson we were given one front cover, one contents page and one double page spread to analyse. Throughout the analysis of the magazine pages there was specific topics we had to cover which included demographics, codes and conventions and the key concepts of magazines. This task was set to benefit us as for some it helped learn the basics of magazine analysis who hadn't studied media before, and for those who had just made it clearer again. Similarly the task helped and prepared us for when we had to come round and analyse our own front covers, contents pages, and double page spreads by ourselves.

Today's lesson consited of group work, and my group included myself, megan, and matt. For the whole double period as a group we anaylsed one front cover, one contents page, and one double page spread. This task was useful as it helped with our anaylsis of our own front covers etc as it meant that we knew straight away what exactly to do and write. It improved our termonology in sections including demographics and the uses and gratifications theory.

Range of Magazine Ideas.
Although these magazine's don't fit the genre of the magazine I will be producing which is going to be based on music in comparison to fashion they give me a range of idea's when producing a successful and effective magazine. It illustrates that you can have many different idea's however as long as you don't make it too complex and keep it to a simple style it will maintain the professional style. Similarly although the genre of the magazine's above are fashion it has given me many idea's of how I could have my cover model on the front page of the magazine, and also what house style I will include.
