Project Monitoring- Week 4

Project Monitoring- Week 4

This week was a major turning point in my project as I found out that I was going to have to totally change my second idea for my double page spread, the critical impact of this was the change to my contingency plan (Darlington article). The thing with the article was that it is not going to be anything like I had planned in my treatment, with the idea in full motion I have completed an interview with Shaun Campbell.  The questions that I asked Shaun really helped me piece together how Darlington football club was saved. The major contribution that this interview has helped to shape my article because as my unique selling point was to focus on low and northern league teams, with Darlington they have a lot of depth that I found could be investigated, such as the event last year where the club nearly folded and how the community and fans came together in the eleventh hour to pour money into the club .This was a major part of this article, now to complete this article I need to redraft the short article as well as completing the collage of images of Darlington and finish the timeline of the history Darlington FC. With Middlesbrough letting me down I knew that I had to act fast to be able to come up with an idea to replace it, with the help of assessor we came up with the idea of an interview/overview of Darlington history.

With my England article finished all I need to focus on is actually creating the article in In Design and the photo shoot is planned for the 7^th February. The plan for my photo shoot is to have three models dressed up in England associated t-shirt, face paint, hats/wigs, with the St Georges flag draped around all three of them. The idea of this photo shoot came about when I read an article that was aimed straight for England fans.

This week I have gone quite of schedule due to my interview at University and having to interview Shaun but know that I have all of my articles written I can focus over the next two weeks on creating and finishing my triple page spreads. The next two weeks are going to very crucial in allowing me to finish my project on time, now that I have everything I need to finish the two triple page spread I am going to be working very hard to make sure that my project will meant the standard that I set when I gave my pitch.
