Production Schedule

This weekend has been QUITE eventful in terms of progress in my film production. But what I want to focus on now is the production schedule from this date on. The submission is due on April 5 which gives me 6 weeks from today to finish the opening, documenting the opening and my experiences creating it, and of course the post-production breakdown of the project. So I've compiled a rough production schedule by breaking down my goals for each week on what I want to have completed. (I'll also be starting at week 3 since I've already been working on my research and planning for two weeks.)

SCHEDULE

Week 3

• complete location scouting
• compile list of actors and their availability
• plan out costume design for actors
• Possibly obtain prop firearm after assessing feasibility of using one in the film

Week 4

• Obtain permission from the library to use a study room to film
• Write the script
• ask Roy if I can borrow his handcuffs
• Continue improving technique for holding and moving camera to produce smoother shots
• Begin gathering music and obtaining permission if necessary

Week 5

• Confirm filming date with actors and review their individual wardrobes to see if changes need to be made
