scheduling

As we start our portfolio project, scheduling needs to be taken into account to ensure that we don't create a rushed product and ensure that we will be proud of the work we create. Ricardo and I discussed early in the year how we should approach the project but now we have a legitimate timeline of how the project will be conducted. 

So for this week, week 1, we decided on narrowing down the short film plots we had come up with into our top 3 contenders and researching different genre conventions within in them and how we would adapt them into our films. 

For the second week, we will have already decided on our storyline and begin to establish a script outline. By doing this we will be able to contact different actors and see if they are interested in helping us with this project. Hopefully, by the end of this week, we would have all the actors we need, as well as the locations we plan on in filming in and specific mise-en-scene elements we need for the plot. 

By the third week, we will have all the finishing touches done on our script and location scouting so that we can finalize our storyboard and begin filming!

In week four, we will finally begin the filming and editing process along with creating different title sequences like finalizing the name of the short film. 

Then in week five, we will begin the second component to our portfolio project while wrapping up the film editing with some general sound adjustments. When capturing footage during filming, we will also be taken photographs that may be used for our postcards and website. 

And lastly, week six will be completely dedicated to our CCR so that we have the appropriate time to construct all of our reflection and are not stressed out to make any last-minute changes to the actual short film.
