 Scheduling for A-level project

I'm so glad I'm taking the time to create a set schedule for myself to manage my time properly since it's something I struggled with for the AS-level portfolio project.

 Creating this schedule really helped me visualize and confirm what I am doing for this project. Outline and planning a project that has multiple components such as this one is crucial to a successful and well-put together project. One adjustment I made with this scheduling this time around was giving me more time to editing and more time to choose my actors. I really struggled last year with my actors since I runned into a last minute issue which I mentioned in previous post. 

 Additionally, editing has never been my strongest suit. But this time around, I wanted to step up my game and use a professional camera that I have in my house as well as using a professional editing software system. My plan is to play around with the editing system to get the hang of things, but just to be safe I gave myself an additional week to edit just incase if I run into bumps in the road. I'm excited to learn!! I'm excited to see what I can create!! See you guys next week!!
