SCHEDULE AND PLANNING

In order to have everything planned and know what I will be doing for the next 7 weeks, I will be making a schedule and breakdown of my portfolio project. This way, I can plan out how my weeks are going to look like and know what I am supposed to be doing.

1. Brainstorming

• Brainstorm genres, based on the ones that interest me the most
• Brainstorm possible plots, develop the story to know what my opening film will look like.

2. Research

• Do research on the two possible genres I will be doing.
• Look for films from my genre of choice for inspiration.
• I plan on doing some voice over, like a narration from the protagonist, decide what is best for what I want to transmit. Look for films of inspiration.
• Research similar opening scenes to what i am visualizing to have more ideas.
• Credit inspiration (including fonts)
• In general, do research on any doubt or anything I know I need help with.

3. Planning

• Create the plot of the whole story.
• Develop the character.
• Start my storyboard, start thinking of angles and shots that will be incorporated.
• Work on the script while I develop the storyboard.
• Search music and sound effects if they are needed.
• Think about the actors, if it will be me or another person that fits the character well.
• Choose the location of filming.
• Dates of filming.

4. Filming and overall production

• Film about 2 days 
• Record the foley if it's needed and the voice over if I decide to.

5. Editing

• Gather all the material recorded, choose the best shots.
• Organize them and look what is best to incorporate.
• Credits and title, have the fonts and style chosen.
• Review and make some changes if needed.
• re-record foley, footage or voice overs if necessary.

6. CCR

• I do not have full awareness of how the Critical Creative Reflection needs to be done, but I know it is a crucial segment of the portfolio, so I will spend about two weeks working on my CCR.
• Edit it and review it.

7. Blogs!

• As I am doing it right now, I will keep track of my blogs and getting them done efficiently.

Nowww, I will be planning my work for each week, I have 7 more weeks to get everything done, so I find it convenient to have planned out to have a guide. This weekend, I starting planning my next 7 weeks regarding the project.

That's it! I might be making some changes and doing some things first than others, but this is a guide for me to keep track. I know this will help me a lot, to not miss anything and get everything done on time.
