Scheduling Matters

 

        I just want to start off by saying that I'm pretty happy with our progress so far; It seems like we are on schedule as of now. So that is what I wanted to share in this blog post, our schedule for the next few months regarding this project. Having a basic outline of when things are supposed to be done is very important for me when tackling big tasks like this one. It really helps me not only by letting me organize my time so that I'm not missing anything from this project as well as other classes, but it also keeps me on track so that I can get this task done well and on time. Knowing me, the magnitude of this project could really be intimidating to the point of making me dread working on it, but since we have a schedule that breaks the whole into small pieces, the task definitely feels more approachable. 

         So, starting off on this month, we are mostly going to focus on researching genre, incorporation of titles and credits, thinking about our story and the approach we will take to our opening. We will also create our script, come up with the shots well use for our opening and finally create a storyboard. Toward the end of this month we'll begin planning our filming locations and organize filming and editing schedules. 

Here is a snippet of my calendar for the month of February:

        Beginning March, we will focus on the mise-en-scene elements we will use and begin our filming. We will also keep researching  project components continuously throughout the process as needed. Around the 6th week of the project we hope to start editing our project as well as start developing responses for the Creative Critical Reflection questions. By week 7 we want to be close to done with our editing and getting feedback from our peers on it. Weeks 8 and 9, toward the end of March and beginning of April, will consist of  CCR projects and questions and then the overall project reflection and submission.

Here's how that will be looking like:
