 Production  Schedule  

Actions  taken  before  creating  schedule:    

Below  is  a  complete  plan  of  every  step  I  will  need  to  take  in  order  to  create  a  well-­‐considered,  effective,  
safe  and  appropriate  final  project.  To  achieve  these  steps,  I  have  asked  sixteen  people  of  different  age  for  
their  opinions,  ideas  and  key  concepts  in  answer  to  the  question  ‘what  is  home?’  (As  outlined  in  my  
chosen  mindmap  created  for  Task  Three.)    From  these  answers,  I  can  determine  the  aesthetic  I  will  need  
to  create  for  each  segment  of  my  film,  judge  roughly  how  long  each  section  will  be,  and  be  able  to  create  
an  effective  storyboard  from  this.
