Schedule for portfolio project

 We used ai to help make us this schedule based on when we are free and how fast we want to move with our project. 

Phase 1: Pre-Production & Planning

Timeline: Jan 30 – Feb 12

  • Jan 30 - Feb 2: Brainstorming & Concept. Finalize your genre (e.g., Thriller, Social Realism) and draft your Pitch.

  • Feb 3 - Feb 7: Scripting & Storyboarding. Write your 2-minute script. Create a storyboard to plan your shot types (Close-ups, Match-on-action, etc.).

  • Feb 8 - Feb 12: Logistics. Secure your locations, cast your actors (friends/classmates), and create your Shot List.

Phase 2: Production (The Shoot)

Timeline: Feb 13 – Feb 26

  • Feb 13 - Feb 16: The "Tech Rehearsal" / Location Scout. Go to your spot, check the lighting at the time you plan to film, and do a test recording to check audio levels.

  • Feb 17 - Feb 22: Primary Filming Days. Aim to film your main scenes.

    • Pro Tip: Always film more "B-roll" or atmospheric shots than you think you need.

  • Feb 23 - Feb 26: Pick-up Shots. Look at your footage. If a shot is blurry or the continuity is off, re-film those specific pieces now.

Phase 3: Post-Production & Editing

Timeline: Feb 27 – March 8

  • Feb 27 - March 2: Assembly Cut. Drag your best clips into the timeline. Don't worry about music or color yet—just get the story flow right.

  • March 3 - March 6: Sound Design & Titles. Add your Foley (sound effects), ambient noise, and the "Institutional Branding" (studio logos) required by AICE.

  • March 7 - March 8: Final Polish. Color grading and ensuring your transitions (like the 180-degree rule) are perfect.

Phase 4: Final Export & CCRs

Timeline: March 9 – March 11

  • March 9: Final Export. Render the video and upload it to your blog/drive.

  • March 10: Buffer Day. This is your "in case the computer crashes" insurance day.

  • March 11: Submission Deadline for us
