Scheduling for my Portfolio Project

    Hey there Cambridge!

    Welcome back to my blog! I decided to stick with the THRILLER genre for my film opening, mostly since I thought satire would be kind of difficult and because thriller seems like a fun plan. I have seven weeks left to complete this project where multiple tasks need to be completed.

    Last week was Week 1 and it was all about being introduced to film openings and genres I am interested in filming. Here is what is next:

  • Planning the film (storyboard, script, where to film, who to act, mise-en-scene etc.)
  • Production/filming/foley
  • Create my production company
  • Editing
  • Finalize everything
  • Critical Creative Reflection (CCR)

With all that considered, here is my plan:

Week 1 (1/16-1/23):
  1.     Done ✅, but here is a recap of what all went down
    • Research on film openings
    • Research thriller genre
    • Research satire genre
Week 2 (1/26-2/1):
  1.     Plan the film
    • Plan plot of film
    • Plan location for production
    • Find actors
Week 3 (2/2-2/8):
    First of all, happy month of February!
  1. Storyboard
  2. Create script
  3. Set production dates
  4. Plan mise-en-scene
  5. Finalize/check-in with actors
  6. Possibly start filming?
Week 4 (2/9-2/15):
  1. Filming
  2. Sounds
    • Create foley sounds
    • Search for background sounds online
  3. Possibly start editing?
Week 5 (2/16-2/22):
  1. Editing
  2. Create a production company
Week 6 (2/23-3/1):
  1. Finalize the film opening
    1. Make sure the film opening is ready for submission
  2. CCR
Week 7 (3/2-3/8):
First of all, happy month of March!
  1. CCR
Week 8 (3/9-3/17):
  1. CCR
  2. Yay! The end :)

    This week will be one of the most exciting for me! I'll get to be creative and explore many ideas for my film opening! I can't wait 😆

    I will try to not let my schedule break apart and, thankfully, I left the last few weeks a bit opened just for that purpose. However, I unfortunately can affirm there is a big chance one week the plan could at one point just not go as planned. That's okay though; I will always keep you guys updated if anything changes!
