This is our schedule for the project. Schedules make sure everything that needs to be done is done on time. It is always good for your schedule to be flexible, just in case something we can't control happens. Schedules keep everything organized and I will always recommend to have and follow your schedule.

Right now in we are in week 3 and we are creating the storyboard and script. We are also still researching shots and angles that will fit the theme of the project. We plan to zoom into a wanted poster and zoom out if it to show a different setting. This would be a good shot for transition scenes. This would be Parallel Editing, which is used to cut from one action sequence to another in different locations and it infers that the action is happening at the same time. This will hint the both the scenes will eventually meet.

The Silence of the Lambs have a perfect example of parallel editing. During the FBI raid scene Clarice is at a house where she thinks she has a lead on Buffalo Bill, while the FBI think they are raiding Buffalo Bills house. The use of parallel editing adds suspense. The viewer does not know if the FBI is at the right house or if Clarice is going into a trap. All the viewer knows is that the events are happening at the same time.
