Production Time is Running Out....

Over time, this blog is supposed to have developed from a semi-personal student blog into something with enough depth and good content as to become part of a portfolio. A portfolio with the aim of being presentable to an employer and thus garnering some lovely jobs upon graduation.

Hence, it feels stickily unprofessional to have to admit that I am perhaps 100 miles behind schedule. Clearly, I do not quite cut it as a producer type.

However, I feel it would be even more unprofessional to try to cover up such a big whole in the production stage, especially with the month of April - designated to post-production - coming up.

In order to remedy this poorly looking situation, I have had to first define the parameters of the problem.

Hence:

Time remaining: 8 weeks

Scenes which theoretically (by the original schedule) should be done: 5

Scenes scheduled to be done: 2

Total to be completed: 7

Theoretically, this equates to one week per scene. However, I really feel that post production will need a whole month to itself. Hence, I have had to come up with a radical solution to resolve this situation.

Solution:

Time remaining on schedule for production work: 2 weeks -> 10 work days

Work days are from 0830 until 1830 -> 9 hour days

7 scenes / 90 hours = 12 hours 51 minutes per scene.

Theoretically, I should be done with the production should I be able to follow this. However, it is quite unlikely but that is okay as at the very least I will be 80 miles closer to where I should be come April. 

It is always good to have some kind of plan arranged, not matter how realistic or achievable they are.

As they say: aim high and hopefully you will land somewhere around the middle.
