Production Schedule

I planned to get all the scriptwork done in the holidays, and managed to do so. I even planned shots, costumes, and actor routes around the house. I also planned to get the casting done and settle on a date for the filming to take place, and got these within the first week of term.

All filming was done at my house on the tuesday of the second week of term (can't recall the date). I filmed it all chronologically, although I did the guy's reaction to the gunshot before the bedroom scene. I had planned to film over the holidays, but my actors were unavailable, so I completely re-wrote the film, added the femme fatale, and then re-scheduled for the first weekend back. I had to re-schedule again because of re-casting. The delay was only two days though, so I'm very pleased with my management there. The filming took about 3/4 of an hour longer than I had expected, but it wasn't an issue and I managed to get everything done in one night, other than the narration which I had forgotten about and recorded the next day after school.

In editing I didn't set any goals as I was already a few weeks ahead of everyone, but I did want to get it done as soon as possible so that I could fix up anything that I wanted to. I got the editing done within three weeks of filming, including the re-edits, where I changed the music, sound effects, and colour correction.
