Planning: Production Timeline

Planning out Ahead

     Hello everyone! Time is super crucial when it comes to making a film. You want to make sure nothing goes wrong and that you have the most amount of time to edit and put the film together (especially if you're not super familiar with the editing program you're using). With the calendar below, I have planned out the next couple of weeks ahead to make sure we have the most amount of time to make everything as good as possible. It's a tight and busy week, so we need to make sure to work hard and do our best!


I know, even I'm a little overwhelmed with how much we have to accomplish in the next couple of weeks. The first week of March, we'll focus on finishing the script, writing our storyboard, and getting film equipment. Then the second week is production week. We'll review the final storyboard and make sure to get all our props. 
We need it to be on a night when we don't have school the next day because we wanted the outside to be as dark as possible, meaning we had to film it at night. We don't know how long it will take to film, so we wanted to make sure we can stay up making the film without having to worry about waking up the next day. Our actors are always really busy, and including everyone's extracurricular activities, the only day we could get with them was March 12, so that means we have to make the best of our time because we only have one day to get every shot right. 

We'll have a whole week to edit out the film and make sure everything runs smoothly. I made it so that each day we work on a specific major criteria of the film, like on one day we work on putting the clips together, and the next day we focus on any sounds. Well also have a little extra time after that busy week in case a problem happens, or we just need more time. 

With this calendar, I hope that it will make us more organized when editing our film, and everything will run smoothly. I want us to have the most amount of time when it comes to finishing up our film, while also getting it in on time.
