Cambridge Project Schedule

 Creating a Timeline

I am doing the timeline blogpost first because this will be the backbone of my project. Doing this blog would also assist in using my time wisely and efficiently. Furthermore, if I plan on creating a successful project, I must stick to this schedule.

Establishing the Phases

        1. Starting the research 

• Analyzing various movie and film openings to gather inspiration.  
• Researching different plots to help with brainstorming.

        2. Planning        

• Coming up with potential ideas for the film opening. 
• Start scripting.
• Create a storyboard.
• Find actors and/or production team.
• Find music/music effects.
• Find an available time and a location to start filming.

        3. Production

• Start shooting films (create a variety scenes to have options when editing).
• Record foley sounds (if needed).
• Record voice over (if needed).
• Finalize filming and make sure clips are accessible.

        4. Editing

• Start editing the footage together to create the film.
• Add all the potential sound effects, foleys, voice overs.
• Include the title and credits.

        5. Revision

• Review the film and make proof-check everything
• Make final edits and finalize the film opening

        6. Critical Creative Reflection

• Start on researching information that relates to the reflection
• Start and finish the reflection
• Finalize and review CCR

There is a total of around 6-7 weeks to create this project. My teacher recommended that we leave the last week as a buffer week for if anything goes wrong and we need extra time to finalize, so, I will be leaving the last week for that and try my best to finish the project one week before the deadline.

Finally

Well, I realized that my time management has been awful the past couple projects. So, I want to really stick to this to not only prove to myself that I can do it, but to also ensure that I will have a successful project. I will hold myself accountable for this and honestly, I'm going to just try my best and hope for the best.
