Unfortunately, little has happened since my last post because I have been busy with other subjects and also chasing down an advisor to aid me in structuring a documentary. But I am sticking to plan of my Gaant chart in a sense that I have completed September, October and November's activities and am now focusing on plagiarism. I will research what I must do to use other people's resources legally and without their dis approval and then ensure I do this before gathering features for my documentary.
The only thing I can really take note of as progress for this week is an email from the WRU and RFU about my letter, confirming that they have sent on the individual letters and now all I can do is wait on a reply. There is little more I can do than this otherwise I will have to settle with primary data from an source which is not useful to me such as a fellow student etc.
I have recovered the sites in which I have taken information from and have placed the addresses/information on the page in to a document which I will complete a source analysis on at some point. The images on the right simply show the screenshots of images from Bill Treadwell and Jan Hill confirming that my letters have been forwarded to the required address, aside of one player who has moved to South Africa and they have been unable to track his whereabouts.

Wednesday, 4 December 2013
I have recently been working on my organisational skills, which was one of my weaknesses which I discovered through doing the skills audit earlier on in the course. To help with this, my first step was creating a Gaant chart. This is basically a chart which outlines all of the main activities I need to complete over the next few months and highlights how long is reasonable to take with each task. This way I am working to small deadlines each month and I'm not going out on a limb and improvising, hoping that what I do is correct and I have time to do anything else I need to do. In addition, I can show development on my project by printing out a copy of the following image on the right and over time, altering it as I go because the decisions I made on the length of time each task will take were not justified. They're simply off hand a reasonable length that I feel each task would take, I will not know how long each will take me until I begin to perform the task. I can then alter this chart to show the development of my project and review.
I have also sent off the letters I have wrote to the RFU and WRU which they will then forward on to the players which I have written to. This is a step towards receiving the feedback and primary data I'm looking for, it also shows potential communication skills because I have to show respect because, after all they are heroes of mine and have accomplished things beyond my capabilities. But I also must be slightly imperative in a way that will get things done. I enclosed a stamped envelope with my address on the front to urge that sense of guilt upon them if they do not reply, this will make it more likely for me to receive a reply.
My future plans are simply to review and analyse my data in order to pick out what will be useful for me to use and I then need to justify the selection, but I feel that I have not collected enough because there is little fact on the matter, it is simply down to opinion and emotion my topic so it will be fairly difficult.
