Creating a Plan

          Since a short film is very detailed piece, Klaus and I wanted to create an organized plan of how we wanted to go about creating our short film.  Since we already have chose our genre and sub genre, we now want to start planning even more and figure out when were going to film.  This is what we have:

Week 2/11: create a plan for our shoot (props, cast, equipment, etc.)

Week 2/18: finish story board, finish script, get any items necessary for shoot

Week 2/25: plan for shooting this weekend, film all scenes/foley sounds, etc.

Week 3/4: begin editing, revise shot footage (plan for reshoots if necessary)

Week 3/11: create first draft, revise and fix first full edited version

Week 3/18: finish up project

          This schedule is really important for us because we have a certain vision for what we want out short film to look like, so we want to make sure that we cover all the bases before we start shooting and editing.  We wanted to map out as much time for editing as possible so we can create the most "perfect" version that we can, and even have time for reshoots if we need to do any.  I'd say for this project, the planning is the most important aspect and we want to stay on track.   I've also been looking at even more movie posters and I really like this movie poster from The Maze Runner:

I think this really captures the sci-fi Post Apocalyptic genre that this movie has and I also like how the main character is placed at the front of the poster.  This is another good example of a movie poster that Klaus and I can take inspiration from for our own short film.  In a movie poster like this, we want to fully capture the genre that we are going for.
