Setting the Schedule

     Given that this process is officially in full swing, my group is currently in the process of developing an official schedule for the production of our project. Since we are still finalizing the details of our plan, we still do not have an accurate end date as to when the planning period will end. However, we now find ourselves in a dilemma: when to film. Since this project should be finished and submitted by early April, we want to get the filming done as soon as possible. However, we do have a week off of school during spring break, but fear that this is too soon before the project is due to film

    Filming ASAP seems like the better option because it gives us the most time to deal with any mishaps that may arise. It would also give us the most time to deal with anything that might need to be fixed during the editing and post-production process. However, given that all 3 of us have busy schedules that are almost always taken up by rigorous academics, jobs, and numerous extracurriculars, we aren't sure of how realistic this plan would be. Our filming would likely be limited to weekends, and filming the entire opening in one weekend would be extremely difficult, especially with changes in lighting, and other commitments, like our jobs, that we would have to clear in order to film then.

    Filming during spring break would basically give us the most consecutive time possible to film, since we don't have to worry about school. This break lasts from March 17th to March 28th. However, that is extremely close to the day we have to submit this project in early April. This would limit the time we have for editing and the post-production process. Additionally, if we started filming and realized we needed extra equipment that had to be purchased online, making this process extremely tight and risky. 

    We're still debating when we should film and will be asking out teacher, Mrs. Stoklosa for advice as soon as we meet with her on Tuesday.
