My Timeline

Today, I am posting my work schedule. Having a timeline from the start helps with long projects, so one of my goals is to stick to it. 

Now, I have only seven weeks to the final. I started with research, picked my genre ( Horror), and analyzed different film opening scenes and the credits opening. Thus, I have begun to develop the big decision: what is my film opening about.

This is my Timeline ( approximate )
