Week 1 - Monday: Project Planning with an Updated Schedule

With the completion of my major study planning folder, I have updated my project schedule Gantt chart. I have tried to keep this chart as streamlined and easy to read as possible. I have broken down my schedule into 13 weeks with each week being further organised into individual days. By breaking the schedule down into sizeable chunks, I can easily keep track of each day and assignment then cross them off as they are completed. By doing this I will also be using this Gantt chart as my project calendar.

I have tried to give myself enough time in each area of production whilst keeping my chart easy to read and concise. I have intentionally tried to streamline this schedule so that there is no confusion. I feel this is the best approach for me, as I don’t feel as overwhelmed about the amount of work when it is visually condensed in this way.

I feel I have set myself a realistic schedule which includes the timetabled tutorials and symposium sessions as well as the weekends in which I will not have access to computer rooms in the Film and Music building. Because of this I have tried to factor in a buffer time for further development and problem solving as I will likely come across unexpected production issues over the course of the module and may not have access to the facilities I require throughout the full production.

As I am working individually, I have built my project around the areas I am strongest in. This means that I have tried to maximise the amount of time for 3D modeling and asset creation.
