Final Draft

The projected length of the short film is between 15-20 minutes so being a crew of six students making a film of this length in just a few weeks would be quite a difficult undertaking. As a result we discussed some more definite end goals to aim for as these seemed much more realistic in terms of expectations. These goals are to complete 15-20 page script, a complete shooting script with shots and notes and two scenes. This means rather than make a rushed and poorly done film in its entirety, we will focus on two scenes that will be carefully shot and meticulously edited. Despite not having to produce the completed film, there are still quite a few challenges that we will encounter along the course of production. Some of these challenges include time constraints and availability as well as the editing phase, more specifically the visual effects of these scenes. Since we are on such a short deadline we must work as efficiently as possible to ensure that we achieve what we set out to do. We must also account that there will be times that all six of us will not be able to make it to every shoot as we all have other commitments besides this project. If we keep an open line of communication in the group and have a clearly outlined deadline for specific tasks, we should be able to adapt to any situation change in regards to absences. If needs be, we also have to option to reschedule if time is available. Since none of us are especially proficient in the visual effects department there are some doubts in regards to our abilities to actually achieve the visual effects we aspire to create for these scenes. The members that will be in charge of editing will be practicing with test footage and in the chase that they are unsuccessful there is also a contingency plan.
