I really want to take advantage of the free time of spring break to knock out the most intimidating part of the project - filming. Not only does doing so ensure the filming gets done early on, but it also leaves us with a lot of time to edit the project and designate proper time to fulfilling the other project components. I've never really edited an original narrative of this length so I want to make sure I give myself enough time to learn and adjust.
Additionally, I made certain I left time for the whole soundtrack thing because, as I discussed in my last post, something I really hope to do in this project is create an original score. The approach I think would work best is settling on a mood/tone and then writing 2 instrumental tracks and scripting to fit this tone. By knocking out the soundtrack early on, I have more time to write new tracks or change my approach altogether if I feel it doesn't necessarily work.
