Timeline & Figuring Out Structure of Project

Timeline

Having a Schedule is very important since it will allow me to stay on track and finish the project on time. However, having a schedule can also allow room for error if something does not go according to plan. Below is an outline of what I must accomplish throughout the next weeks.

2. Film Opening + Credits Research.

Right now we are on week 2 out of the 8 weeks allowed to work on this project. The Timeline Below will give me an idea of when things are due, doing this gave me an idea of when I should do hard deadlines to make sure that I stay on track if for some reason I start to fall behind. Each Bullet point below is a Blog Post that will act as a due date for something important that will be used in the Portfolio, it could also just be research.
