Day 6: On Schedule?



Hey blog!
        One thing that our teacher emphasized in class was the importance of keeping track of our time and making sure that things get turned in and finished on time. As I mentioned in previous blog posts, my partner and I do not have the best time management skills when working together. So, like we do with everything else, we took to the internet to find some answers and advice about how to curb that. We wanted to find out was the most effective way to create a shooting schedule for our film and came across this website https://www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/how-to-plan-an-effective-shooting-schedule/ . This source clearly laid out exactly what steps to take in order to have an effective film schedule. And one might think to themselves, "how hard can it be to make a schedule?", but the truth is, anyone can SAY they're going to do something on a certain date or time, but planning it out and implementing it seemed to have more of an effect. So, with that, we followed the instructions of the website and tried to create our shooting schedule.
         Another source opened our eyes when it came to planning out our timing schedule. It brought to our attention the inevitability of conflict and possible unavailability and how to work around it. http://howtofilmschool.com/checklist-for-creating-a-schedule/ . This site was specifically aimed towards young audiences and students in film schools which is just like us, so we took on the advice it offered full force. It emphasized the benefits of creating a check list for all the things that are necessary to have completed by certain times and on certain days. A lot of factors and confounding variables are present in our schedule which is why it was important to us that our schedule remain fairly flexible. Being that Grant and I are both active in other activities and have very busy lives as is, we wanted to be sure not to over indulge ourselves, while still staying on task.

Below I will attach a copy of the schedule that we intend to follow throughout our filming process.


Until next time,
                    Kyleigh.
