 Portfolio Project Schedule 

Week 2, Blog 3 

Thursday, February 6th, 2025

Today, after discussing with my partners, Fatima, Julia, and Santina, we were able to brainstorm ideas about the film, as well as share our responsibilities and times of working on this project. Therefore, we decided to create a schedule to organize everything. Time management is crucial, especially for a long-term project like this. Being organized and aware of when tasks will be completed is essential. In the next 8 weeks, you will see what my group and I will focus on to achieve this.
