Today I have come into school early to ensure that my blog is up to date and that all evaluation questions are completed. This morning I worked on finishing my evaluation question number 5 and formatting it onto blogger. Once I had done that I uploaded it onto blogger. I have now completed all my blog work and my magazine in time for today's deadline so I might see if I can add last minute unique bits that aren't a necessity on my blog to ensure mine differs from everybody else's.

Today as it's the weekend I have decided to do work off of my own back and therefore was aware that I had work to be completed in order to meet tomorrows deadline. Therefore this morning my aim was to finish off my evaluation question number 3 and format it on windows movie maker to ensure that it differed from all of my other evaluations. It took me quite a while to complete this evaluation as I wasn't so certain about what I had to do on movie maker and it took longer to ensure that the text was linked in with the voice overs and images. I am aiming to go into school early tomorrow morning so that I can put my evaluation question number 5 onto my prezi account and then upload it onto blogger. Once that has been done I will have finished all of my evaluations, everything on my blogger and my magazine.

In today's lesson I finished all my tasks on my blog and sorted out all the labels into specific suitable sections in order for both my teacher and examiner to navigate through when finding particular tasks. Similarly I made a start on my 5th evaluation question as I have to ensure that they are all completed by Monday and uploaded onto my blogger. I am hoping over the weekend to get everything organised and hopefully come in tomorrow during my frees to complete any outstanding tasks.

Today I finally finished my magazine however once I got my teacher to overlook it she found a couple of things that I need to go back and change as they didn't look right and I want to make sure that I am happy with it before I hand it in as my final piece as I want to achieve the best grade possible. Therefore tomorrow I am aiming to go in at lunch before my lesson to make these changes so that when I go into class I can go straight on to finishing my evaluation questions as these need to be done promptly. So in tomorrow's lesson I aim to get all evaluation questions done so when I come into media during my frees on fridays two free periods I can just make sure that I am fully completed with all the tasks on my blog and my magazine etc in order to meet the deadline on monday the 18th of March.

Today as I didn't have a teacher for English I thought it was a perfect opportunity to go down to media and work on my coursework as the deadline is next week and I am feeling very nervous and anxious. So by having a whole double lesson working out to be an hour and forty minutes I made sure that I worked purely on my blog. Therefore I worked on turning my evaluation questions into a prezi to make it abit more interesting and interactive for the audience to read, and similarly I worked on the background of my blog ensuring that I have a variety of images that sum my personality up to make my blog feel unique and different.

In today's lesson I worked on my contents page by adding more texts to make the page look more condensed with less space. I ensured that more text was added to ensure that my contents page looked as professional as possible. Tomorrow I will ask my teacher to sit down with me and go through exactly what I need to go through in order to improve.

Today as I didn't have a media lesson I thought I would work off of my own back and work on my blog as I was unable to work on my magazine as I wasn't fortunate enough to have access to the needed software such as powerpoint and indesign. Therefore due to the lack of resources I was able to do work on my blog meaning that today I was able to work on my sketches ideas and also working on keeping my blog updated with production logs etc. Similarly I changed the layout to my blog very vividly as I thought that there were a few areas that needed a little bit of work on. Tomorrow as I have a lesson in the morning I am going to aim on finishing my magazine as my deadline is in less than two weeks. Therefore once all my magazine is done and I'm satisfied with the standard of it I can focus on my blog making it to a standard that will achieve top marks by the examiner and help to improve the chance of getting the highest possible grade overall.

Today as we broke up for half term I have ensured that I have all the information and resources that are needed to finalize my blog and all of my uncompleted tasks. Tonight I am aiming to finish off my focus group by adding a summary of what the video is about and the purpose of the class interview and hopefully ensure that my blogger is up to date and try and start my final to-do tasks. After that I am aiming to make a start on my exam side as I have alot of exam prep to do before the 13th of May which is when our two hour exam is taking place.

Focus group
The video above includes a class discussion which deals with a wide range of magazines with a variety of different questions being discussed on each. As we carried out the focus group as a class it enabled us to get our own primary research when getting detailed information about things that would be effective and successful when producing our magazines and even discussing what doesn't look very professional leading us to get critical but beneficial feedback. The focus group was an effective research method as we were able to ask the group relevant questions that could be linked to our own magazines leading us individually to get feedback.
Furthermore the whole purpose of carrying out the focus group was as it involved being interactive instead of doing independent research on pro's and con's of magazines, therefore leading us to get relevant answers and specific answers to certain questions asked. Many advantages of carrying out the focus group included:
- Results can be easier to understand than complicated statistical data.
- We were able to get information from non-verbal responses, such as facial expressions or body language.
- The process was time consuming as the information that was provided was quicker than if people were interviewed separately.
