Schedule planning

Introduction:

To help me plan my schedule for creating my media product (5 minute video), I am going to split the tasks into three categories, pre-production, production and post-production. This will help me to organize what tasks need to be completed, and in which order to help me complete the product in chronological order.

All of these tasks will take place once the treatment has been presented and accepted by the client. This schedule will be included within the treatement to the client.

Pre-production:

• create a moodboard (1 day)
• plan mise en scene (1 day)
• create a script (3 days)
• carry out a risk assessment (2 days)
• create a timeline analysis for cuts and edits (1 day)
• production schedule (inc. crew, location and shots) (3 days)

TOTAL: 11 Days

Production:

• test out equipment (2 days)
• film the scenes (2 weeks)
• record the sound/audio clips (3 days)

TOTAL: 19 Days

Post-Production:

• edit the scenes (1 week)
• add sound effects and music (2 days)
• insert and create/add special effects and credits (2 days)
• proof check to small focus group (1 day)
• publish on the internet (1 day)
• advertise using social networks, local media and competitons (e.g. virgin shorts) (2 days)

TOTAL: 14 Days

TOTAL DAYS: 44 Days (6 weeks and 2 days)

BUDGETED DAYS: 49 Days (7 weeks)
