What's Next.....? Right: A Schedule.

Eek! I'm using this blog post as an organizational overview of production. As I begin to think about the weeks ahead, I am already gaining anxiety about the time contraints. In order to complete the film opening the way I want it to turn out, as well as have enough time to edit and cut as desired and to make a rough draft and a final cut, I need to organize myself. 

Why do I really need a schedule? I believe that a schedule will allow me to become more organized with my work. It will allow me to maintain a steady pace and to create the correct pacing guide in order to achieve success with enough time to analyze all aspects of the film. In order to get all of the work that is needed to be completed in such a short amount of time, this project will need me to dedicate each week to something very specific so that the project will be safely finished by the due date.

As I read the webpage MindTools, their section on how scheduling makes one's life easier, it all became clear to me: In order to be successfully on time and ready to have the project done how I want it done, I need to be specific on what I need to get done every week and try follow the schedule as closely as possible. 

After checking out that site, I moved on to WikiHow and decided to find out the best strategies to making and following a schedule. Interpreting the instructions and applying them the best I could to be best applicable to my film time budget, the following is the schecule I have created and hope to stick to: 

This is the schedule I have composed and will try and follow for the remainder of the filming, blogging, editing, and finalizing of the portfolio project.

Well, I really hope that this scehdule is something I can truly follow and that it helps me maintain myself organized and on time with everything. I will blog back again in a few days everyone, but, before I go, I just wanna thakn anyone who is reading this far.
