Schedule!

As we get closer to the second week of starting this project my partner and I have decided that we need a schedule! We first laid out all of the things that we had to do and then looked at the amount of time that we had to finish the project. Honestly, after making the schedule, it made me feel much more confident in the project and much more at peace with the amount of work we still have yet to do. So here's a detailed explanation of the following few weeks!

• Weeks 2/18- 3/1 PLANNING/ COMING UP WITH THE STORY- 

In these two weeks, we will be planning out the story for our film. Due to the fact that this is a very important task as it will set up the basis for our entire project we thought it would be fitting to spread it across two weeks. 

• Week 3/2- 3/8 PERFECTING STORY/ PREPARING FOR FILMING

This week we will take care of all the details of the story and prepare for filming. We will most likely make a storyboard and develop the characters thoroughly. This is also when we will go location scouting and where we will figure out the costume design and props.

• Week 3/9- 3/15 FILMING

During this week we want to start and finish filming. We will probably spread out filming across a couple days depending on the number of filming locations we have to go to. We will also try and rent some professional equipment at the beginning of the week so our final product can be shown in high quality. 

• Week 3/16- 3/22 EDITING/ POST PRODUCTION 

Throughout this week we will edit together all of our footage to come out with our finished product. This is when we will also select any music we wish to include and also record any voiceovers or sound effects that we feel necessary. We will also color correct and apply filters at the end in order to make the final product more cohesive

• Week 3/23- 29 WEBSITE/ POSTCARD ADVERTISEMENT

My partner and I wanted to make sure that we made the website and the postcard advertisement after we had at least a rough edit of our final product so we thought it was fitting to schedule this for the week after editing. During this week it is also spring break so we hope that doesn't interfere with our work but I feel like the website and the postcard advertisement will be much easier to finish at this point if we already have a rough draft. 

• Week 3/30- 4/5 FIX ANY ERRORS/ PERFECT FINAL PRODUCT

At this point, we will probably have shown our rough draft to a couple people so we can go back and fix any mistakes that we had previously. This is also when we can add anything to improve our project and make sure it is perfect before we turn it in. 

• Week 4/6- 4/12 CREATIVE CRITICAL REFLECTION (CCR)

Finally, once we have all of our components ready we can start working on our CCR. This is often a long and tedious process as it is a reflection of our entire project so we wanted to make sure we had at least a week to work on it. After that is done, we're done! :)
