Project Schedule!

     My current working schedule, fingers crossed I get to follow it stress-free! :D

1. Initial Planning 

• Researching articles about my selected genre. 
• Watch and collect a catalogue of films and TV shows for inspiration.
• Educate myself on other genres I can draw inspiration from.

2. Planning 

• Solidify an actual plot
• Write script
• Storyboarding
• Find music/score for scene
• Plan credits montage
• Get actors
• Find location(s) 
• Select a date that works for everyone's schedule (preferably really early to allow time to do re-shoots).

3. Production

• Film scenes
• Record voice-over (potentially narration)
• Get props/costuming/parts of set that help realize characters

4. Editing

• Put all the scenes together in order
• Ensure comedic timing is good; no awkward cuts/long shots
• Add graphics for style and tone
• Add title card
• Add cast/crew names in a creative way
• Ensure all audio sounds natural
• Add foley

5. Revisions

• Review and tweak video until perfect
• Re-record/re-shoot scenes or dialogue if needed 
• Re-record foley if needed

6. Critical Creative Reflection

• Research more information regarding reflection
• Create a proper script for reflection with thought out evidence and also personal style
• Add graphics in the video and any other creative visual effects 
• Edit and review CCR video

    Ok, with it all laid out like that it seems kind of jarring but I will be handling big business to not only get this all done, but be confident with the outcome.
