Planning a Timeline

Why a Timeline?

    For long term projects such as this one, it is a great idea to create a timeline to make it easier to understand how much time you have to do the project. Otherwise, the work could pile up towards the due date making it a lot harder that it needs to be. So in this post I will be creating a timeline me and my partner agree upon.

Breaking down the project:

        1. Research

• Research various possible genres and decide on one with my partner
• Research some film openings and credit sequences from films within my chosen genre

        2. Brainstorming

• Creating a plot for the film
• Storyboarding the film
• Choose and necessary background music
• Choose a filming location
• Create a script for the film

        3. Filming/Producing

• Film the visuals
• Film any voice overs that needs to be overlayed
• Record any foley sounds for the film

        4. Editing

• Take the various shots and keep only the ones going to be used
• Put the takes together and trim them to they fit together
• Add audio over the video
• Display overlay of text of credits and title
• Add any effects needed

        5. Revise

• Watch the project as a whole
• Make any adjustments needed

        6. Critical Creative Reflection

• Create a reflection on the research, planning, production, and editing processes of the project
