Before I get carried away with the website design, I've decided to plan ahead for the second and third portions of this project. I am unsure how long the website will take to construct because I'm not well versed in website design, so that is why I am choosing to work on that first. I plan to have my documentary planning (interview questions, additional dialogue, "storyboard," etc) done before I start working on the poster. During the 4 days between when I finish that planning and when I'm going to film at my mom's job, I'll be gathering footage of my mom in her daily routine at home and pictures from our photo albums. I will schedule her interview for the same day as the day I attend work with her and from that initial footage I will determine whether or not I need to do any reshooting. Along with the decision to reshoot, I will also be noting what questions to ask myself (as her son who will be featured in the episode) so that I can provide answers that could link her own answers in the excerpt well to create a flow with the information being presented. Another important thing to note is that I will have to go to work with my mom overnight, seeing as she works from 10 pm to 7 am at Walmart. She only works on school nights too, so I am choosing to do that portion of the filming on a Thursday/Friday when I can make up for the sleep I'll be losing with no repercussions. The dates go as follows:
March 10th: Documentary Planning Due
March 11th-14th: Gathering B-Roll footage, Start Poster Details
March 14th: Shooting at Walmart
March 15th: Interview with Martha
March 17th: First Poster Draft Due
March 19th: Reshooting (if needed)
March 24th: First Draft of 5 Min Excerpt Due, Final Poster Due
March 31st: Final Draft of Excerpt Due, Website Complete
I will admit that the last two due dates are more flexible and will be dependant on how long editing will take me as well as how eventful my spring break will be. However, as long as I am disciplined with this schedule, I'm certain I'll have ample time to finish my quality project by the 14th.
