Media Coursework Update 1
In today's lesson I have decided to focus my music magazine on the indie/ alternative genre as i feel the market has been missed by the magazine industry although my survey results have found indie/ alternative the most popular genre. As apposed to my original idea of a rap magazine i feel the magazine industry have yet to produce a magazine devoted to indie/ alternative music and magazines such as NME tend to include rock within their pages.

Weaknesses and SMART targets
I would say that my biggest weakness that may occur during this task is my time management skills. At this time I feel that I need to keep ahead and try and meet all my deadlines. I will try and do most of it in college time as I would find it harder to complete outside of college due to other distractions at home.
Specific: I want to be able to complete all my coursework within deadlines and not last minute. I want to do this because I feel that it will be less stress on my behalf and I will feel confident in going to the next set piece of coursework with more time to complete it so I will have more time to spend on making it a excellent piece of work. The only person that will be involved in completing this is me and I have to stay in the right mindset throughout the whole coursework process. I want most of it to be done in college so I can spend most of my time outside of college concentrating on my other commitments but if I have some work that needs to be done outside of college I will make it my priority to do the work well and make that my priority. I will have to give myself good time management and keep in the right mindset by creating a timetable to stick to and staying off social networking sites until my work i aim to complete is done.
Measurable: I get my tasks set weekly so if I manage to do all my tasks within the week then I can keep on top and keep organised. I will know when it is done once I feel I have worked to the best of my ability and get good feedback from my teacher. If it needs improving I will make sure that I take in my feedback and improve on it as soon as possible.
Attainable: The goal can be accomplished by putting a lot of effort into my work and ignoring distractions so it is done to the best of my ability in the shortest time so it will leave me with more time to complete other pieces of set work or go back and improve a piece I have already done which will pay off in the long run.
Relevant: As it is very important for getting me the highest possible grade for Media A-Level I feel that it is a priority for me to keep up and focus on the work so i can achieve the Level 4/ A grade i am aiming for.
Time-Bound: My preliminary deadline is the 25th January 2013 this would be my first priority going into the deadline as I need to complete it all within a month. With this deadline I will manage my time to the best I can as I don't have much time outside of college to complete the tasks. My draft deadline is the 15th April which isn't long from the complete deadline which is 24th April at 4PM so this may be the hardest stage for me to keep organised and keep my time managed as well as I can.
To overcome my time management issue I will:
