This document outlines the planning process for creating a documentary video. It includes a Gantt chart showing the 14 main stages of production from brainstorming to publishing. It also defines 5 roles for group members - graphics, titles, camera, editor, and sound/director - and lists the skills and responsibilities for each role. The final section prompts the group to start a communication channel like WhatsApp or Facebook to connect and coordinate during the project.
