This document outlines the timeline and requirements for a student's advanced portfolio project from June 2014 to December 2014. The project involves creating a music video for a fictional band, including storyboarding, filming, editing, and ancillary marketing materials like a CD digipak and magazine advert. Students must complete preliminary tasks in June, research and planning in August-September, filming and drafts in September-October, feedback and revisions in October-November, and a final cut and evaluation posted to their blog by mid-December. The timeline specifies deadlines and requirements for each stage to ensure students progress through the full creative process.
