Script Breakdown and Film Scheduling Services

Before you can create an accurate budget for your film, you need to break the script down and prepare a shooting schedule. This "one liner" enables you to generate a cast Day-Out-Of-Days, find out how many locations you have and discover the total number of "real" shooting days.

A properly designed shooting schedule is fundamental to your budgeting process. Without an experienced Assistant Director to prepare this board, you will create an unrealistic budget which will have a negative impact on your entire production.

I have worked in the Film and Television Industry for over 33 years - 20 years as a First Assistant Director. If you are interested in using my skills as an Assistant Director to break down your script and prepare a realistic film schedule for your project, check out the services I provide at Script Breakdown and Film Scheduling Services

How to Design an Accurate Film Shooting Schedule

How to Design an Accurate Film Shooting Schedule is a 2 day workshop designed for Producers, Production Managers, Assistant Directors, Location Managers and Production Co-ordinators to help you understand how to accurately create a shooting schedule that stays on budget and on time!

How to Design an Accurate Film Shooting Schedule

A First Assistant Director is responsible for the preparation of the shooting schedule and script breakdown used to plan the shooting of a film or television show. The AD works directly with the Director to manage of the minute to minute operations on the set during the process of filming, as well as co-ordinating the necessary communication of details of future operations as the filming progresses. Other duties include tracking the progress of filming versus the production schedule, observing all rules related to union crafts, labor contracts and location agreements, maintaining safety on the working set, and working with the Unit Manager to keep operational costs within the budgeted plan.
