Aice Media Portfolio (Schedule)

 Making a followable schedule!

Here I'll write and list the planning schedule myself and my group for the development for my portfolio and Aice Media Film Opening Project. We're all trying to work on the same schedule, being able to hold meetings, plan our actions towards the project, and thought process when doing our blogs.

1. Research

• Research over the chosen genre (Horror, Psychological/thriller)
• Analyzation over several film openings, for encouragement for the final project.

2. Planning

• Decide on a genre.
• Develop the background, context, and plot of the film opening
• Storyboard development
• Deciding the casts of the characters
• Location and dates for filming
• Script
• Uses of songs in the opening.
• Costume elements, mise-en-scene props.

3. Production

• Record Foley scenes, sound effects.
• Produce the film, successfully filming each scene. 

4. Editing

• Edit in the title, in either the beginning or middle of the film opening.
• Include credits to the opening, Including, Authors, Casts, Producers, etc..
• Use proper editing tools for the film opening like Adobe Premiere Pro

5. Revision

• My group plans to go through the final production of the film, checking to see if it meets all the qualifications, if we exceeded our expectations if all the editing is correct, and if everything is in order.

6. Have fun

• I know I'm going to enjoy this process, watching films for references, and being inspired and encouraged by my peers.
• I enjoy getting to film and plan to work out with this group of friends I have. 

The project is due March 25th, meaning I only have eight weeks to plan and complete all of this production. My group and I have also planned our schedules, so we can work together at our owns times.
