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 34 years - 22
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, these are the
