This week we did all of the pre-production work for the presentation. I've made exactly one budget before; however, I feel like I've learned a lot from that experience and was able to go more in-depth and cover more ground on this budget. Luckily, Jordan did a lot of research on the type of equipment we would need so she sent me a list of possible equipment that I was then able to research and add into the budget. I think it's a bit terrifying to see the amount of money we would have had to spend had it not been all from UNCW. From the budget, it was obvious that we wouldn't need any additional fundraising because the only thing that would be coming out of pocket was gas money for the few trips we take to Cumberland County and that's easily split amongst the crew.
The other portion of the producer's work was making a schedule, which we've been building since week one. We have each crew member's class and work schedule (color-coded) as well as all the due dates for the class. The only issue is we have large amounts of time blocked off for each portion of the project because our schedules are changing so rapidly that we can't come up with a specific time this far in advance. However, we are really good at communicating with each other and getting things done on time so as long as we plan out each week as it comes along, we should be set.
The schedule was extremely beneficial to make because it reminded me that we have B-roll due next week so I was able to put in that we have to request equipment well in advance in order to pick it up on Friday (and we already submitted that request so we're right on track). Probably the biggest struggle is figuring out stylistic components for sound (because I'm also acting as sound on this project). I have about zero experience with sound and will have to do a lot of research regarding how I want it to sound because it's not overtly obvious to me at this point.
