Project Schedule and Timeline

 Making A Timeline

To keep myself on track and accountable for my project, I will be creating a timeline that I will strictly follow over the course of the next 8 weeks I have as of writing this blog. This will make the project a lot easier (at least for me) as due dates create a sense of urgency. This class especially has shown me how effective creating a personal timeline can be to reduce procrastination

For the timeline, I plan to get all of the research aspects of this project to be done by the end of the first week, so I can give myself enough time for quality planning and to also give time to get props, which I plan to do in weeks 2-3. After that, weeks 4-5 will be spent on the filming/production. Week 6 will be spent editing and then weeks 7 and 8 will be spent on final revisions and my CCR respectively. I dedicated at least a week to each final revisions and my CCR so I can make sure I am happy with my portfolio project and to ensure its quality.

All of that in timeline form looks like this

TIMELINE

This is the timeline that I plan to stick by for my portfolio project. I know that nothing in life is guaranteed, so to compensate for this in my timeline I've left extra time between weeks just incase of any roadblocks or unexpected setbacks I may face.
