As we begin this project, we know we need to stay organized. Last year, i developed a project schedule to stay organized, which helped immensely. Since it's been a while, i found an article speaking about tips for making a schedule for a short film. It speaks about how though there may be obstacles, we must try and stick to the schedule the most that we can, which I agree with, for the most part, i stuck with my schedule last year, and I think if i hadn't I would've been a lot more stressed.
I thought this image was very true to how life can go when you have a schedule, but, it's totally possible to stick to it.
Anyway, here is my schedule for now:
2/15 to 3/9:
During this time, my project partner and i will be doing genre research, making our story board, script, and any sort of outlines. We will also make out shooting dates based on our availability and what we have going on outside of school. We will also be figuring out how we will go about the social media pages we must make. This time will pretty much the planning stage, which is really important so that we can make a good production. People underestimate how much planning can help a production, but it is crucial so that things can go smoothly.
3/10 to 3/30:
During this time, we will be shooting our short film, we will be taking weeks to do this since over shooting always helps when making a piece. We want it to be a comedy and have a very specific vision for this short film, so we want to make sure we do things right. We will also begin to edit during this time since that may take a while. Spring break occurs during this time, so we will try to use this time since we won't have school. I will also begin to research for my critical reflection during this time.
3/30 to 4/9:
Here, I will continue my critical reflection research as well as writing it, I will finish the project and post everything to my blog!
