Schedule

 To stay organized and on track with this project, I've created a detailed schedule. I'm starting with the blog this week to help solidify my ideas and identify any potential roadblocks early on.

Here's an overview of my main tasks:

1. Research:

   • Extensive research on my chosen genre (likely horror).
   • Analysis of various film openers to inform my project's direction.

2. Planning:

   • Finalize the genre.
   • Develop the overall story in a document.
   • Create a storyboard.
   • Cast characters and assign roles.
   • Scout locations and schedule filming dates.
   • Write the script.
   • Select music for the film.

3. Production:

   • Plan the filming schedule for each scene.
   • Record Foley sound effects.

4. Editing:

   • Edit the film opener.
   • Add the title sequence.
   • Create and incorporate credits.

5. Revision:

   • Review the entire project multiple times to ensure quality.

The project deadline is March 25th, giving me eight weeks. To allow for potential issues or delays, I'm aiming to complete the project by March 20th, leaving five days for final revisions and troubleshooting.
