Capstone Timeline

When it came time for me to layout the timeline for my capstone project, it seemed pretty straight forward.  I am planning to start my capstone next semester, therefore my plans for this semester are focused on pre-production planning.  From what I have learned in previous productions is that you can never have enough pre-production.  Once I have everything organized I will begin my actual production.  Once my capstone project begins I plan to hit the ground running by regrouping with my actors and production crew after the holiday break.  From there, my plans are to start filming immediately and get as much done early in order to be prepared for the problems that will arise.  Later on in the semester I have allowed time to go back and reshoot or add scenes as it is necessary to accurately present my story.  I have decided that it will be beneficial to start the editing process immediately after my initial filming in order to spot the problems I will have with my film's clarity.  My goal is to complete as much as possible early in order have time to fix the problems that i will encounter and also to have more time to spend polishing my final product.
