Planning- Production Timeline

Our timeline:

     Due to the fact that we are about a month away from the end date of our production, we've broke down a production timeline to get an idea of how much we should be working on every week, and to keep ourselves organized.

    We aim to start February 22nd, and end by March 14th. This timeline gives us plenty of time because our project is due by March 16th. This timeline is also beneficial because filming and editing may only take about a week and a half, but we have given ourselves more time to ensure we execute this film opening to Cambridges expectations.

    Our group plans to secure all of our prop supplies by February 22nd, giving us around a week to gather everything. After we have acquired all of our materials, we can begin filming. In order to film, we need it to be dark out to match the color grading. We will film for three days, February 27th-28th, then we will finish on March 1st. Because all these dates land on weekends, it makes it easier for the cast to show up without needing to move around plans. If needed, we will move around the dates to accommodate to the cast and crew.

    Right after filming we will go straight into editing. The first week of March we will focus solely to editing and aligning the audios of the clips together. The following week will be used for special effects, color correction, and any other elements to display slasher horror.

    Creating a production timeline has allowed us to create a good idea of when we need to work, how hard, and how fast we must work in order to successfully create our film opening.

Next steps:

    Our next steps will be to write out our scripts, so we can get a head start and send them over to our actors, so they will be able to understand the mannerisms of the characters, and get familiar with their lines. This will also give us enough time to adjust the script if needed.
