Production - Production timeline

     I wanted to create a production timeline that would organize my time effectively over the next few weeks. The deadline is approaching very quickly, it is important that I remain focus and on track. By planning ahead I will be able to focus on one section of the production process at a time. 

Week 1 

    The first week I will focus on finalizing any planning details before the official filming begins. Although I already have a general idea of my film, this week will focus on turning those ideas into something final.

Checklist:

- Make any final adjustments to the script draft. 

- Create detailed storyboards for each scene.

-Plan camera shots, angles, and movements.

-Gather all props

-Decide on a filming location and schedule.

    This week is very important since it sets the foundation for the rest of the project. 


Week 2

    In the second week we will be filming all the scenes. This is a very important part of the process. Everything that has been worked on for weeks is now coming to life. Me and my group will work together to ensure the shots match the vision drawn on the storyboards.

Checklist:

-Film all main scenes (this includes the morning routine, the phone call, picking out clothing)

-Capturing a variety of takes for each shot to ensure no retakes will be needed.

-Film the additional B-roll footage (Driving scenes, small details)

-Review the footage after each session.

-If necessary reshoot any scenes.

    Having extra footage would always be helpful during the editing process as things may not always go as planned. 


Week 3

    The third week begins the editing process. The footage will be edited using Adobe Premiere Pro. At this point in the production the goal is to create a rough draft of the film opening. 

Checklist:

-Import all the footage.

-Organize the clips into the correct sequence.

Trim clips get rid of unwanted footage.

-Add basic transitions.

-Begin working with audio.

-Reach the 2 minute time requirement. 

    This step will allow me to see how everything looks once it is all put together. I will then be able to tell if any part will need improvement.


Week 4

    The final week will be dedicated to last minute final edits, I will focus on improving and finalizing my film opening. This includes asking for feedback and then improving on it. 

Checklist:

-Add final edits.

-Sound adjustments and color correction.

-Add titles and text if it is not done so already.

-Watch the full film.

-Export the final product.


    While I understand not everything will go exactly as planned, creating a timeline helps me feel more organized and prepared for the process ahead of me. This timeline will allow me to manage my time wisely.
