There are proformas available on the college system should you need to use them - your tutor can direct to you them if needed. These are quick and easy forms to complete so make sure you include them - they are industry standard processes!

Location / Props / Costumes
This post will obviously differ depending on your plan. You need to detail where you will be taking your images and any props or costumes you will be using in order to create the right image for your readers. If you are using a studio then say why you feel that this is the better option, if you are using a location explain why you think this is a good location. Do the same for any props and costume you use, why have you used them and how does this reflect and connect with your target audience?

Production Schedule
This post simply explains when you plan to make your products and how long you will spend on each one. It also needs to include all your photo shoots. (remember to save all your images as they need to be uploaded onto your blog as a separate post. You can make a contact sheet in photo shop and upload your images to this)

A construction schedule may look something like this or could be in the form of a monthly calendar:

Week 1 (date) Work on drafts for three products 
Week 2 (date) Photo shoot for front cover image/s
Week 3 & 4 (date) Construct front cover
Week 5 (date) Photo shoot for contents page and feature article
Week 6 & 7 (date) Construct contents page
Week 8 & 9 (date) Construct feature article
Week 10 (date) Final changes to finished products

Include as much detail as necessary and you have 10 weeks in which to plan out and organise your construction schedule.
