Time management is.... not really my thing. In the past I've struggled with procrastination, which has affected the quality of my work. Which is why for this project I want to work on that and have a set schedule to strictly follow. This will ensure that every component of the project is completed in a timely manner.
After a call with my group mates, we decided on a 2-2-2 schedule. Two weeks to write, two weeks to shoot, and the rest for postproduction. The portfolio project is not something that can be done rushed, especially since it isn't just a short film, but two other components. Our schedule should give us enough time to finish each component without rushing. If we finish ahead of schedule, we'll move on to what is next on the schedule.
A very important part of the schedule is working around every group members commitments and extracurriculars, which is why we decided to make a shared calendar to put what days we are available. The calendar will prevent any confusion on when we can work on the project versus when we can't. We are utilizing google calendar to do this.
