Shooting Schedule

Turn every scene into a first-pass shooting schedule.

Prescene groups analyzed scenes into shoot days by location, cast, time of day, and production demand. The result is an editable, stripboard-ready schedule for an assistant director or production team to refine.

Script-first scheduling

Start the board with the production facts already attached.

The screenplay breakdown supplies the scenes, cast, locations, page counts, departments, and known risks. Scheduling logic groups those facts into a practical first pass.

Build the shoot order

Group scenes into shoot days using location, cast, day or night requirements, page counts, and estimated hours instead of starting from an empty spreadsheet.

Carry production demands forward

Keep accepted breakdown details, department requirements, and known scene risks visible in the schedule rather than re-entering them by hand.

Refine the working table

Edit the schedule as availability and logistics become real, preserve its history, and move the table into Google Sheets, Excel, or CSV for the next planning pass.

How it works

Move from screenplay order to shoot order.

The first pass handles the mechanical grouping so the production team can spend its time on the constraints that require judgment.

  1. 01

    Analyze and review the breakdown

    Confirm scene headings, cast, locations, pages, departments, and production risks before asking the schedule to use them.

  2. 02

    Create the first board

    Prescene assigns scenes to shoot days and orders them around shared locations, cast, time-of-day requirements, and estimated workload.

  3. 03

    Add real production constraints

    An AD or production team refines the draft around confirmed availability, permits, travel, turnarounds, stage access, weather, and department input.

FAQ

Questions about Shooting Schedule

What does the Prescene Shooting Schedule create?

It creates an editable table that assigns screenplay scenes to shoot days and a shoot order. Rows include scene, slugline, INT or EXT, time of day, pages, cast, location, set, estimated hours, departments, flags, and notes.

Does it replace an assistant director?

No. Prescene creates a first-pass board from the facts in the analyzed screenplay and its breakdown. An AD or production team must refine it using confirmed availability, contracts, permits, travel, safety, weather, and department input.

Is this the same as a call sheet?

No. A shooting schedule organizes scenes across the planned shoot. A call sheet communicates the confirmed plan, call times, contacts, locations, safety information, and instructions for one production day.

Can I edit and export the schedule?

Yes. The schedule is an editable table artifact with autosave and history. Table exports include Excel, CSV, text, and Google Sheets where available.

What happens when the screenplay changes?

The existing schedule remains tied to the screenplay version it used. A newer analyzed version can produce an updated schedule without erasing the earlier artifact or its history.
