Calendar of Other Important Events -
So before I get into my rough project schedule, here's a look at other important commitments I have coming up from now to April. The ones marked in RED are where I absolutely cannot do big stuff for the project cause I won't be here, and then the ones marked in BLUE are just days where I have something, but it won't disrupt my schedule too much.
February:
2/12 - Senior Night
2/13 - Districts
2/15-2/16 - My boyfriend (Alex) is flying in for the weekend
2/22 - Regionals (Hopefully) (Edit 2/24: Yes!)
March:
3/6-3/8 - States (Hopefully) (Edit 2/24: I qualified so Yes!!!)
3/14 - TBD FAWA Folkstyle State Championships
3/15 - Banquet
3/17-3/22 - Alex flies in again :)
For the most part, I plan to pace my work on this project based on our blogging schedule. So for these upcoming first two weeks, a lot of research is being done. I need to learn more about short films in general, and then about the comedy genre. I expect a lot of ideas to be bouncing around my brain during this time, so my project will likely evolve a lot from now to 2/23. Then, there's research on social media and the print component (which for short film is a postcard to be distributed at film festivals). During this time, I'll start pre-production planning so I'm set to keep my project running smoothly (storyboards, shot lists, contacting potential actors, etc). The week of 3/17 to 3/22 could be a good time to film/start because my boyfriend will be here and able to help me or maybe even act (in the one scene I have that requires a man lol). If not, I have my own spring break from 3/24-3/30.. but I don't like how close that's cutting it, so that might be more of a LAST resort. Blogging during the production process includes shooting schedules, screenshots of coordinating with actors, etc. Last year, in AS, I did the bulk of my work during spring break and it ended up working out, but I do remember stressing due to some external factors... (RIP my laptop). Anyways, following production is post-production, which will happen right after I film (either following the week of 3/17 or crammed in during spring break). This time I also want to be wrapping up my print component. As for social media postings, I plan to do 2-to 3 a week to build a solid platform to market the short film.
Sounds like a lot, but, I have a rough idea for how this is gonna go.
Week One (2/10-2/16)
- decide on a project
- brainstorm ideas
- start genre research
Week Two (2/17-2/23)
-more genre research
- SET MYSELF ON AN IDEA
Week Three (2/24-3/2)
- start researching social medias that fit my genre
- begin pre-production planning (storyboards, thinking of actors, shot list, etc)..
Week Four (3/3-3/9)
- make sure I'm set (scheduling/location) to film
- finalize actors/storyboard/shotlist
- any necessary research (I really want to make aesthetic intro/credits, and maybe even come up with a production tag)
- HOPEFULLY I'll be at states so the week before/after this will need to compensate
Week Five (3/10-3/16)
- try to start filming...
-research print component conventions (that fit my genre)
Week Six(3/17-3/23)
- BETTER be filming/have filmed
- if yes, start editing!
-begin researching/planning for Critical Reflection
Week Seven (3/24-3/30)
- do what needs to be done! (finish editing, credits, introduction, etc)
- have an idea for my CR/maybe even start
Week Eight (3/31-4/6)
- mostly CR
- any other changes
Week Nine (4/7-4/9)
- final post :) reflect on the project
- post all components
- post CR
- goodbye :)
More updates coming soon :)
DISCLAIMER:
Upon further consideration for my short film idea (which I mentioned in my previous post), I am worried that it won't fit the time requirements. It has to be about 5 minutes, and unlike any other idea I had, I worry this will be too short. It would be very "montage-y," but I can't do that for 4 of the 5 minutes.. so this idea is likely to change.
