Scheduling 🫣

In order to effectively create a schedule for my portfolio project to be completed, I first want to break down what exactly it is that I have to do.

Per our instructions, we must:

Create a 2 minute film opening (duh)

Firstly, come up with a genre/ idea for our project

Develop an actual concept for our for our film

Plan out what exactly we want to film, and

turn it into a storyboard

come up with a script for our film

figure out how exactly we will incorporate all mis- en- scene elements we want to include (music, costuming)

focus on how we want to develop our characters within the opening

figure out our filming location, and actors

get together with my group and actually film the project

edit the project

incorporate title, and credit slides

In order to make it more manageable, i'll break it down within the 7 weeks we have total to complete all of this work. 

In the first week, I focused on mostly figuring out a vague idea of what i wanted to include within my opening, this includes genre, as well as an ample amount of research to back up why exactly it was that I chose the horror genre.

Within week 2, me and my group got together and developed an actual idea for the plot of our opening, and discussed what theme we wanted to convey to the viewers, as well as what we wanted to leave vague so that we could made sure we were adhering to regular conventions of a film opening.

During week 3 me and my group will come up with a solid plan on what exactly we are going to film, and we will do this through the development of our storyboard. Using this, we can better plan and layout the exact scenes within our opening, as well as the camera angles and the equipment necessary. Since we plan to film our opening in a living room setting, choosing the location should be hard, as we would just have to come to an agreement on whose house we could film it in, as well as whos going to actually be in the opening (actors).

Week 4 would comprise of us gathering the materials we need for our film, as well as checking out any necessary equipment form our teacher, in order to get ready to film the following week.

Finally, during week 5 me and my group will get together and actually film our opening, although this may take us some time as we dont want to fall short on any necessary scenes or on time within our opening, so we have to make sure to gather the necessary footage and cover all of our bases.

Week 6 would mostly be me and my group mates finalizing our music choices, as well as getting to work and finalizing our editing.

And lastly, during week 7 we will make sure to cement all of our footage and opening, as well as add any final touches to perfect it, as well as submit our work.

I believe that within this timeframe we can successfully develop a meaningful film opening that appeases us all, and make sure we do it to the best of our abilities.
