Milestone 3: Scripts completed and schedule going forward

The date is the 15th of March 2022, I have finished my script and mostly finalized it. I will send it off to my English teacher again for her commentary then make my final changes soon. The bulk of it however is done.


Overall I am very satisfied with the script I have created, it adheres very closely to the rules of dialogue and writing that I have set out and channels the writing styles of Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino very closely.


If I were to improve, I would go to my English teacher and other writing experts and ask them to look it over and suggest areas of improvement I could act on.



Moving forwards I have decided to create a schedule to allow me to organise my workflow better. To do this I have though up the tasks I have left to do:

-Storyboarding

-Location scouting

-Getting the cast and crew together

-Filming

-Editing


And I have placed them in a month which I will spend doing them:

March: Scriptwriting and finalisation of the script

April: Storyboarding

May: Storyboarding

June: Location scouting and casting. Storyboarding overflow

July: Filming

6 weeks holiday: Filming and editing


Using this schedule, I am confident that I can get the film completed by the end of the six weeks holiday

 Over the course of this project I have realized I may need to acquire additional funding and support. To this end I have acquired a £500 grant from The Mighty Creatives fund. This fund includes: the £500 bursary to spend on items like cameras, microphones, editing software etc. as well as monthly 1 on 1 sessions with a Creative Coach who will guide me and give advice on my project as well as webinars and project management guidance sessions about my project. The creative coach is an expert in the field of film and cinematography and so has been able to use his expertise to scrutinize my work and help to improve it with his expertise  Overall this fund will be very useful as not only will it be able to bankroll my production but also be able to offer opinions and advice on how it is progressing and what I can do to better it

Milestone 5: Documentary

 Over the six-weeks holiday, the worst came to pass - My friend's farm burnt down due to the UK heatwaves. As a result I had no location on which I could make my movie and as a result I was not able to film my movie in the allotted time period. This will not be the end of the project however, i have decided to take my year of experiences and training that i have given myself for this project and channel it into helping future young filmmakers who will one day be in my position while making their first movie and dealing with how difficult it is To this end I have decided to remake my film as a combination piece - half documentary and half art-film detailing my inspiration behind making my first movie and my struggles to get it produced. I have planned out the process as follows: September will be for scripting my documentary and figuring out the cinematography October will be for filming the movie November will be for editing the movie into a finished product At the end of these ...
