Planning the production of Stalker

The production of Stalker was broken down into several clear steps to keep me on track. Here’s a basic breakdown of my production calendar:

1.Research and inspiration (1 week): watching other film openings, researching horror genre conventions, and identifying key themes.

2.Pre production (1 week): Scriptwriting, location scouting, costume planning, and finalizing the shooting schedule.

3.Filming (1 week): This included 3 days of shooting, focusing on getting the best angles, lighting, and pacing. This was the hardest and it took so long because the power was of in almost our whole city because of a storm.

4 Post production (2/3 days): editing with CapCut, sound design, and refining the footage.

Review and final edits (1 week): Watching through everything and making final adjustments.

By following this schedule, I was able to keep everything organized and meet my deadlines without feeling overwhelmed.
