Statement of intent
Brief 1 - magazine:
My magazine is aimed at white males between the ages of 10 and 13 who are interested in football, hence why I will have a white male as my main model for my magazine. The pictures in my magazine will be predominately at eye level to the reader and are mid shots. Having the pictures at eye level means that the model/pro footballer are at the same level as the reader and it makes the reader connect to the magazine and believe that they can be like the model in the magazine themselves. The colours in my magazine will be bright colours such as, green and blue. Also, these colours are typically associated with a male audience and the bright colours will make the reader feel welcome. The font on the front cover of my magazine will be Atma Bold, which will interest my target audience of 10-13 year olds because the font is informal and fun. The title of my magazine will be "GOAL." This title shows that my target audience can reach their goals and exceed in life, as the pro footballer in my magazine will give an example to my audience as a person who has reached their goals.
The main image on my front cover will be of the pro footballer (John Davidson) at eye level with the audience and he'll have a smile with his arms crossed. The model having a smile shows his funny and likeable side, however the model having his arms crossed will show the serious of professional football and that you have to seriously commit to become a pro. The main image of my article will be of the model holding a blue football with a concentrated look. This will show that he is serious about his professional football career and that you have to be dedicated to reach your goals. However, this will not be my main cover image because I want to portray the model with a likeable personality, with him not being serious all the time.

Main Article:
After the final game of the 18/19
season, Greg James interviewed an up and coming star in the Premier League,
John Davidson and asked a question on every young boy’s lips: What does it take
to become a pro?
“I’m sure most young lads aspire
to become a pro, but the football world is very competitive and to be a pro
there will be sacrifices and hard work along the way.
First of all, everyone has to
start somewhere, so I advise all of you young lads reading this to join a
Sunday league team. This is a great first step because you never know who’s
watching among the parents every Sunday. If you’re lucky, a scout may be
interested in you. Personally, I joined a local team in Essex called Thurrock
Tigers and during my man of the match performance in a cup final, a scout gave
me an opportunity to join Southend’s academy.
This links to my next point
because you need to take any opportunity, otherwise you may regret it and be on
the wrong path to becoming a pro.
Once you have signed your first pro
contract, just enjoy playing football. I know this is a cliché, but if you don’t
enjoy what you’re doing, you won’t improve and lose your one chance to make a
name for yourself in the football world. Also, make sure to train really hard
and persevere through the hard times because if you have a giving up attitude,
you’ll be dropped from the academy in no time.
My next step is to stay patient
because if your performances on the pitch are impressive, you’ll soon work your
way up the academy and earn yourself first team football.
I hope this guide has answered
your questions. I hope to see you lads in the future playing pro football.”

NEA Part 9 - Schedule
Tuesday 9th April 2019
Schedule
Example:
May
Plenary:
It's important to produce a schedule for activities when working on a production because it allows you to keep your work in order and know when to do certain things. Therefore, you wouldn't get overwhelmed by work.
I am likely to struggle with PPT 1, PPT 3 and PPT 4 because I have never used Photoshop before and all three of these tasks include Photoshop, so I'll have to learn myself.
In order to achieve these difficult activities, I'm going to give myself longer time periods to complete these tasks and I'm going to learn how to use Photoshop in my spare time.

Introduction:
From this task, I intend to decide my cast for my magazine and weigh up the pros and cons for each. This will help me understand if they're suitable or unsuitable for the magazine.
Actor's Name:
Ciaran Gunning
Key Information:
He is an 18 year old white male.
He goes to HACH sixth form and works part time at the weekend.
He has short, blonde hair and is 5ft9.
What makes this person suitable:
Ciaran is suitable to appear on my magazine because he's my brother, so it will be easy to do a photo shoot with him because he'll have no choice and it will be easier to discuss when and where the photo shoot will be. Also, he has experience with football, so it will be easy to take photos whilst he does certain football skills and tricks.
What makes this person unsuitable:
Ciaran is unsuitable because he's not the same age as the target audience (10-13) so it will be difficult for the audience to relate. Also, my brother goes to school during the week and works on the weekends, so it will be difficult to schedule a time and date for the photo shoot. Due to my brother being white, my magazine may not appeal to audiences of different ethnicities.
Actor's Name:
Ryan Birch
Key Information:
He is a 14 year old white male.
He goes to HACH.
He has short, blonde hair and is 5ft.
What makes this person suitable:
Ryan is suitable because he is my friend so it will be easy to schedule a date for my photo shoot because we're always in contact with each other and speak to each other daily. Also, Ryan has experience with football because he plays for a team, so he'll be suitable for my football magazine. Ryan is also almost the age of the target audience so it will be easier for the audience to relate.
What makes this person unsuitable:
Ryan is unsuitable because he may be busy on the weekends, as he plays for a football team and he's busy during the week because of school. Therefore, it may be difficult to agree with a date for the photo shoot.
NEA Part 7 - Locations
Tuesday 23rd April 2019
Location Information
Introduction:
The purpose of this task is to assess and identify potential locations that I will use in my photography. This will help me to understand the pros and cons of using certain locations for my magazine and it will help me in the future when I'm making my magazine.
Harris Academy Chafford Hundred - Field:
Address:
Sometimes the gate to the field is closed, so it's a risk on whether or not I am allowed access.
Risk 2:
On the weekends and during the school holidays, the field is often crowded, so it may be difficult to find space and a suitable time to do the photo shoot.
Risk 3:
The location is outside so the weather dictates when I do the photo shoot and if the weather is bad, it will delay the photo shoot.
Tottenham Hotspur Football Stadium:
Address:
782 High Rd, Tottenham, London N17 0BX
This location is suitable because it's a football stadium so it's perfect for my magazine on football.
Risk 1:
It's often busy, especially on a match day, so I'll have to judge when I do the photo shoot, otherwise space will be limited.
Risk 2:
It's an outdoor location so my photo shoot will be dependant on the weather situation.
Risk 3:
The location is far away so the photo shoot could take longer then anticipated.
Conclusion:
I'm going to use this knowledge in my production because I have decided what locations I will use for my photo shoots. Also, I know the hazards for each location, so I will know how to conduct my photo shoots in the most effective way possible.

NEA Part 6 - Product Profile
Tuesday 23rd April 2019
Product Style Profile
Learning Objectives:
- K: the importance of sketches and planning in the decision making process of creating a magazine.
- U: how to use sketches to influence your stylistic decisions.
- BAT: undertake a creative task in which you start the decision making process in terms of style of your magazine.
Introduction:
In this task I will be preparing and creating sketches that should mirror what I want to do with my production. At the end of this lesson, I should understand how to use sketches to influence my stylistic decisions. Also, I should be able to undertake a creative task where I begin the process in which I decide the different styles of my magazine.
Draft 1 is for my magazine front cover. I showed it to a couple of people in my class and the feedback was positive, however they gave me constructive criticism and told me to do another redraft but use symbols instead because it would make it easier in the future for me to transfer my ideas on my plan into Photoshop. The main point I will take from this is to redraft using symbols, in order to make it more clear.
Draft 2 is also for my magazine front cover. I showed it to a couple of people in my class and they said it was an improvement from my last draft because I used symbols to show text and pictures. However, they told me to spread out the cover lines and put them on both sides of my main picture, as they were squashed on one side of my front cover.
Draft 3 is for my magazine front cover. I showed it to a couple of people in my class and they said it was a good improvement from my last draft because I spaced out the cover lines more and I included a freebie at the bottom of my front cover, which would appeal to the target audience (10-13 year olds).
Plenary:
I found this step useful because it allowed me to understand what my front cover may look like and what to include on the final product.
Peer feedback was really useful because it allowed me to improve my draft, as they gave me constructive criticism on my front cover and they gave me positives, which allowed me to understand what I should keep or change in my final product.
