Establishing a Timeline

 Even though I am not fully educated on the subject that is film, I do know that time is the most valuable resource during your production process. So, I consider it important to make a schedule that works for me and one that I can follow without procrastinating every part of the process. 

Week 1 (1/16-1/23)

  • Create 3 blogs
  • Think about what genre of film I want my film opening to fall under
Week 2 (1/26-2/1)
  • Create 4 blogs
  • Brainstorming of film ideas
        ○ Decide on the genre of my film opening                                                                                                    ○ Research film opening under genre
  • Create an outline of the plot (main points in film opening)
Week 3 (2/2-2/8)
  • Start writing the script
        ○ Figure out main characters and main plot points
  • Find people who may be interested in participating in my film as an actor/extra
  • Start storyboard
  • Brainstorm filming locations 
Week 4 (2/9-2/15)
  • Finish up script
  • Finish up storyboard
  • Have actors/extras for my production
  • Figure out what type of camera I want to use
  • Figure out costume/props/mise-en-scene
Week 5 (2/16-2/22)
  • Assess possible locations
  • Start filming
        ○ Incorporate desired costume/props/mise-en-scene into my film process

Week 6 (2/23-3/1)
  • Finish up filming
  • Start to edit clips I already have
Week 7 (3/2-3/8) 
  • Finish editing
  • Create CCRs

These weeks are all going to be busy despite the difference in the assignements needing to be completed for each. I believe that my genre, horror, will be somewhat difficult to create because of some action scenes that take place. Also, the plot I was thinking of consisted of a funeral. Now, it won't be hard to get people to wear all black, but it'll definitely be difficult to find a church and incorporate a scene with a make-shift casket. All my scenes have to be well thought out so that it'll all come together and with this timeline, I believe I can plan it well enough for it to do so.
