The planning of the production is a very important part of creating and completing a successful project. Knowing what your recourses are and how much time you got is the first thing you must know before you start planning. When we started to mold our production plan we started by making a rough week-by-week plan. The reason for doing that is so we could ask the whole production team if it seemed plausible. When we got the feedback we could further mold the plan into a more probable day-by-day plan. To keep the plan solid as we changed it we kept asking the team for their opinion.

Creating a detailed and well thought out plan really helped the production of the film. But the plan would mean nothing if the team wouldn't follow and respect the deadlines of the plan. Our team leader showed and repeatedly told us about the importance of meeting the deadlines, and eventually we almost managed to stick to them. Of course we added some extra days to the plan in case we didn't meet all the deadlines, and we needed those days. I now see the meaning of a solid plan and the importance of neither over or underestimate it.
