Planning for Success: Portfolio Project Roadmap

The Importance of Planning!

Planning is the basis of success, particularly in AICE Media Studies. I've learned from my past experiences, such as my music marketing project, the value of carefully organizing my time to create a polished and presentable project. With this knowledge, I am dedicated to applying these principles to my current project, aiming to give my best performance. I find that working on a schedule is much more effective for me than relying on sudden bursts of motivation or ideas.

The Project Roadmap
Week 1 (2/10 - 2/16)
  • Script/Storyboard Development`
    • Develop the script or storyboard
    • Finalize the project idea

    • Set filming days

  • Editing
    • Analyze the first cut
    • Edit the footage again in a different way

Week 6 (3/17 - 3/23)

    • Extra time for any necessary adjustments or issues


Final Thoughts
Problems are bound to arise during any project, but maintaining a positive mindset is key to overcoming them. Although mistakes may happen, I am committed to pushing myself to follow to this schedule and delivering my best work. Planning and hard work are my guiding principles, and I am excited to see where this journey takes me!
