Today my group and I were supposed to meet-up and begin fully finalizing our planning process. The keywords are SUPPOSED TO. Unfortunately, our schedules did not align. My partner, Nick, had to go visit relatives, while the rest of us were busy with other work and activities. Our journey was supposed to consist of reviewing over the script, set design, and the storyboard as we wanted to film this upcoming weekend to get the production process out of the way early. We also wanted to go thrift shopping to get 80's looking outfits and figure out what other props and materials we needed to buy. Needless to say, we were supposed to get a lot done. While disappointing, it is just one day out of the many we have to complete the film opening. On the other-hand, if we're not careful, time will become limited, especially with the amount of work it will take to make this a fantastic production. This is the reason why we need a properly established production schedule.
First off, I will be going away for almost all of next week for a competition. This will last from March 10th until March 15th. Secondly, Nick will be on vacation for the majority of spring break, which will last from March 18th until March 25th. These lack of shooting dates will be a big problem if not dealt with correctly, therefore my group and I need to figure out a way to work around these circumstances. This is especially the case since we lost one day of proper planning and organization. Not to mention, post-production will require time to edit and revise the film opening. A solution to this whole debacle could be to film on either March 16th or 17th, which would be tough in itself due to school coming to an end before break. Another solution would be to film early on spring break without Nick being there, which might have to be the case due to our limited time. With whatever path we choose, I am going to discuss this with my group in-depth and write down a detailed production schedule to get things back on track as quickly as possible.
I'll be back shortly.
