Cambridge Project Schedule

Designing a Timeline

Making a timeline for this large project is one of the best things you can do as it allows you to organize and schedule your time clearly and makes it clear what to do and when to do it. I've learned the importance from this class as it would be to terrible to be scrambling to finish work every week and stressing out over it. So making the timeline first is the most efficient method of staying on track to finish this project.

Establishing Phases of Project

We will be splitting up the project into different sections where we will do different tasks in each one.

1. Research

• Research, view, and analyze examples of film openings within the genre I selected to find inspiration for my project

• Research, view, and analyze examples of the plots of films within the genre I selected to find inspiration for my project.

2. Planning

• Come up with the main premise of my project

• Write the script for the film opening

• Find any music if necessary

• Create a storyboard

• Find actors/production members to participate in the project

• Select date and location for filming

3. Production

• Film Scenes for film opening

• Record Foley Sounds if necessary

• Record Voiceover if necessary

4. Editing

• Edit all of the footage together

• Add the title and credits of the film opening

• Adjust Foley sounds and Voiceover if necessary

5. Reviewing

• Review and analyze the current state of the video

• Make revisions if needed

6. Creative Critical Reflection

• Research information required for the reflection

• Create the reflection

• Edit and Review CCR

There are 7 weeks remaining from the point I finish this post until the deadline. It was heavily recommended to us to have a buffer week in case of any problems or errors that may occur.

Conclusion

Im going to try my hardest to follow and stick to my schedule and correct it if any problems occur. In past projects I have done terribly with scheduling and organizing my time to work on them, but this time I will do my utmost effort to stick to it and I will hold myself accountable now so I can have a better result.
