The document outlines the minutes and action points from six weekly meetings to plan and produce a student film trailer. In the first week, the group chose to create a hybrid psychological/slasher horror titled "The Girl Next Door" and outlined the plot. In week two, they discussed filming locations and schedules. Week three involved filming daytime scenes and starting to edit the first scene. Footage from week three was reviewed in week four, with plans to re-film and complete shooting. Weeks five and six focused on completing filming, editing the first half of the trailer, and final editing sessions.
