This production diary details the progress of a student's final major project for a BTEC Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production. Over several weekly updates, the student documents completing tasks like generating initial ideas, filling out a timeline, researching magazine influences, writing a proposal, and beginning pre-production work like creating a mood board. The student prioritizes completing certain tasks like the proposal over others like a PowerPoint, and shares plans to continue pre-production by finding example magazine pages and creating the mood board in the coming week.
