Establishing a Timeline

 Before I start any process, I should make a timeline of when things are due (for me as the actual due date is March 17th). I will be splitting this up by weeks before outlining what each section is supposed to have. Dually note that this was planned out after the first week.

Week 1 (1/16 to 1/23) 

Any and all research. (I.E genre and movie ideas.) 

Week 2 (1/26 to 2/1) 

Start and finish any plans. (I.E. storyboard, filming days, story location, and character idea)   

If possible, start film production. 

Week 3 (2/2 to 2/8) 

Officially start filming. 

Record narration, foley or find proper music if needed. 

Week 4 (2/9 to 2/15) 

Continue filming until middle of week. 

Start editing with recording of any foley needed. Try out different editing styles. 

Week 5 (2/16 to 2/22) 

Officially start editing if unable to before. 

Week 6 (2/23 to 3/1) 

Continue editing, if possible, finish this week. 

Week 7 (3/2 to 3/8) 

Finish editing at start of week.  

Start revision and-if needed-redo certain ideas. 

Week 8 (3/9 to 3/17) 

Continue revision if not finished.  

This end week is mostly a fall back week if something goes wrong in my personal life that leaves me unable to do something. 

 For research: 

Analyze movie openings and genre examples. 

Planning: 

Scripting,  

Storyboarding, 

Movie Plot, 

Location(s), 

Filming dates,  

Actors (if needed) 

Creation: 

Filming, 

Voice Recordings, 

Foley Recordings, 

Editing:
        Footage together in one film 

Include titles and credits during duration of film 

Input foley and/or narration 

Revise: 

Go over entire footage, 

Add, subtract or adjust footage 

How will I be able to do all of this in the allotted time?
    I stick to my plan, but honestly, I have horrid time management. I do not plan to get absolutely everything done within each week minus the important stuff. This project will be harsh on my time skills, and I can already feel it. With everything else going on outside of this blog; schoolwork, family issues, my own needed downtime, I will struggle. Struggle, as I always say to motivate myself, is the best (and worse) part of life. That is why I tried to integrate some time that I can fall back on and tried to make deadlines seem longer than they should be.
