So. Taylor and I have been very busy this week and only saw each other twice so I decided to come up with a timeline of what we are going to do every week. The whole thinking behind this is so we would know exactly what we would do every week and have no confusion about it. In our last week we did some research on the genre but now we actually need to begin planning and thinking of what we want to do. We haven't come up with a title, and that's probably something that is going to have to develop as we go along with the project, not something that we can make up in five seconds. But in all honesty, what I mean is that we will probably come up with a more natural title once we actually know what the look of it will be.
Based on our timeline, we should have plenty of time to plan for this and reshoot anything, if necessary, afterwards. We budgeted our time so we would film most of it on March 2nd, giving us plenty of time as I said earlier. If you would like to take a closer look our timeline, and certain specifics, here it is:
Week 1: (1/28-2/3)
