Time keeping

This post will continuously be updated to show how many hours I have spent on each part of each section. As you're probably aware, at the end of each post I specify how many hours it has taken me to complete the tasks (total time spent: x hrs); this post will sum them up.

This is my final timetable, displaying the actual activity of my project in comparison to the individual timetables for each section (research, pre-production etc.).

Note: I have allocated two spaces per week; any more dates under the 'week' title will have been an addition to this timetable made by myself (rather than creating a whole new timetable for each extra date).

Key: (hours completed)/(set target hours)

Note here: My actual production (the video shoot) started late on account of the holidays, and not being able to select a tune to use. So instead, I continued pre-production until my first shoot on the 23rd Jan.

Note here: one week in my time table was not allocated correctly; for some reason the 2nd of Jan was not included. Neither was the 30th Dec - this initially threw off my timetable by weeks, however I have erased them from my calendar so now there is one less week. This is okay because it accounts for my Christmas holiday I forgot to factor in!
