Getting organized

 Okey so before I start planning more of my project, I need to create some time frames before I go crazy. I need to make sure I stay organized and have enough time for every part of my process without having to rush anything. I also need to plan time in case something goes wrong or maybe if I need to do a lot of reshooting. So here goes:

First, I need to organize what steps I need to take. I know I need to do more research before anything, I already did my research on mystery film openings, but I need to get down to the nitty gritty of what makes a mystery… a mystery. Then I need to plan out what film I want to do, what will my plot be? What will my setting be? My characters? All of that planning will also need time. Then I need to create a detailed storyboard that will have my film opening all planned out. I then need to obviously do all the filming which will take a while so I have to plan enough time for that, as well as time for any reshoots that I might want to do. Then, probably one of the most time consuming, editing. As I am not an editing expert, I need to find a good software I can use to aid in my editing process. There are many more tiny steps that I will also need to take but for now that is the basis.

Steps:

-research 

-planning

-filming

-editing 

-final touches 

So, this project is due April 3. I have approximately 6 weeks to do all of it which sounds like a lot but I already know is going to fly by. I know I want to get all filming done at least by March 22, which would allow me a little over a week for all editing. I really do not want to rush any part of this project so this planning of my steps has certainly helped me know exactly what I need to do. This was certainly an essential part which has eased my nerves overall.
