Timeline for my Sport/Drama Portfolio Project

 For this portfolio project, I’ve learned that the best way to stay focused is by making a clear schedule and making sure to stick to it. I'll break everything down into smaller pieces and give myself deadlines to make sure i complete everything on time!

I need to research film openings in drama and sports, and also look into the sport/drama genres. I’ll figure out what makes them effective and how characters are developed. Also, I’ll create a storyboard to help plan out the scenes and shots for the story film. This will help me organize my ideas before i start filming.

WEEK 1:   1/27 - 2/2

This week is all about starting the project. I’ll choose 3 genres to focus on and research film openings and plots in the drama and sports genre. I’ll start developing a plot idea and figure out the main moments for the opening.

WEEK 2:   2/3 - 2/9

I’ll narrow down the plot and the genre. With the genre picked, I’ll keep researching and continue developing ideas. I’ll also create a storyboard to help visualize the scenes and start searching for places to start filming. I’ll begin asking for permission to film at those places.

WEEK 3:   2/10 - 2/17

I’ll research a media theory that I can use in the project. I’ll also summarize my project idea and finish the story board and script. This week i'll start filming the scenes.

WEEK 4:   2/18 - 2/25

It’s time to start recording the footage and make sure everything is in the correct order. I’ll also record any sound effects or voiceovers. Then, I’ll edit the footage to create a first draft.

WEEK 5:   2/26 - 3/5

I’ll  look ever the first draft to make any changed that are needed. If any scened need to be re edited or even re shot i'll make sure to do that.

WEEK 6:   3/6 - 3/13

I'll make the final changes to the film and finish the Creative Critical Reflection (CCR). This week will be for reviewing and cleaning up any clips of sounds that need last minute fixing. I’ll compare all versions to decide which one to keep.

WEEK 7:   3/14 - 3/21

This week is for catching up in case anything gets delayed or needs more work. I won’t start new tasks unless me and my partners really need to.

I'm so determined to stick to this schedule/timeline and make some changes if needed to. Time managment has been a little difficult in the past but this schedule will hopefully help me stay on track. I'm a pretty big procrastinator but for this project i'll try my best to avoid it at alls cost. See you later Cambridge!!
