Blog Schedule

 Hello Cambridge! This is my layout for the project's schedule. I have 7 weeks to complete this project, and we are currently in week two! Our teacher gave us a schedule for our blogs as well, which I will implement into this schedule.

Week #1 (1/27-2/2): This is the transition to the project, we picked 2 dramas to research and gain more knowledge on. We mainly focus on creating a plot and generating an idea in the sports drama genre. 

Week #2 (2/3-2//9):  Narrow down to one main genre. Research the chosen genre, in film openings looking at techniques and fonts. As the week continues, we need to make an overall layout for the project and then continue researching specific film-making elements.

Week #3 (2/10-2/17): Research media theories and create a blog post that will integrate into our final project. The idea of the project needs to be complete and we need to summarize it in a blog post. In addition, the creation of our storyboard and dialogue should be done and blogged about. 

Week #4 (2/18-2/25): We should begin filming our project and finalize it, with the inclusion of foley sounds or voiceovers. The editing should be started and the first draft should be produced.

Week #5 (2/26-3/5): The first draft will be reviewed and cleaned up. Any re-shoots that need to be done will also be completed. The re-shoots will be to emphasize and improve the pacing and our emotional impact on the audience. 

Week #6 (3/6-3/13): Final revisions for the film will be made. The Creative Critical Reflection will be introduced, and we will edit and finalize the reflection. These two upcoming weeks will be simply focused on cleaning up the finalized production. We will compare the versions and decide on the best one. Then we will begin on the CCR and have it ready for the upcoming week.

Week #7 (3/14-3/21): This week is mainly for catching up if anything was missed or needs to be re-done. There isn't going to be anything new produced unless it is ABSOLUTELY needed.

With this schedule created, I am devoted to staying by this schedule and making sure I stay on task and ensure I have efficient time management. However, I cannot predict every circumstance but I will try my hardest to overcome and accommodate any surprises (knock on wood everything goes smoothly). The one thing that will kill the success of the project is procrastination so I will promise to avoid that at all costs.

In addition, I wrote the first 5 week's blogging schedule on my personal calendar:
