Script Breakdown and Film Scheduling Online Course for Independent Filmmakers Script Breakdown and Film Scheduling Online Course For Independent Filmmakers - Part One - How to Design a (Reliable) Shooting Schedule for Feature Films and Television Productions Updated - March 20, 2012 Peter D. Marshall http://actioncutprint.com [email protected] Peter D. Marshall has worked (and survived) in the Film and Television Industry for over 38 years - as a Film Director, Television Producer, First Assistant Director and Series Creative Consultant. Copyright (c) 2012 Peter D. Marshall /ActionCutPrint.com All Rights Reserved (1) - PART ONE - The Script Breakdown and Film Scheduling Online Course For Independent Filmmakers Dear Filmmaker, I would like to thank you very much for purchasing “The Script Breakdown and Film Scheduling Online Course For Independent Filmmakers - Part One How to Design a (Reliable) Shooting Schedule for Feature Films and Television Productions. In 1985, I got my first professional job as an Assistant Director when I was the 2nd AD on the 13 x half-hour Television series called “The Hitchhiker.” A year later, I became the First Assistant Director on a small Canadian TV series called “Hamilton’s Quest.” I’ve not looked back since! About 18 years ago, I created a 2-day workshop called "How to Design an Accurate Film Shooting Schedule.” As the film and television industry changed and grew over the years, I modified the content of that workshop to keep up to date with all the new filmmaking techniques I was learning. That 2-day workshop has now become the model for this Online course. I am very excited about the quality of the content I’m going to share with you throughout this 160-page course. Even though the title says “Script Breakdown and Film Scheduling,” this course is much more than that. When you are finished, you will have gained in-depth industry knowledge of the entire pre-production stage of making an independent film or TV series. And one more thing - this course is not just for Assistant Directors. It was also written for Directors, Producers, Production Managers and any other filmmaker who wants to discover the proper steps involved in breaking down a script and creating a realistic film shooting schedule. Peter D. Marshall Vancouver, Canada March 20, 2012 © Peter D. Marshall (2) ActionCutPrint.com - Part Two - "Creating the Daily Prep Schedule for Feature Films and Television Productions" To complement Part One of this course, I created another ebook called "Creating the Daily Prep Schedule for Films and Television Productions” which adds an important dimension to the pre-production part of this script breakdown and film scheduling course. What I did was choose the actual Daily Prep Schedules from 11 Feature Film and Television productions I worked on as a First Assistant Director: 3 Feature Films, 2 Television Movies, 2 Television Pilots and 4 episodes from two Television Series. I then created 11 finished prep schedules (without using actual crew names or the production title) that show you step-by-step, day-by-day, meeting-by- meeting, what "actually occurred" during prep on these real film and TV productions. And the best part of "Creating the Daily Prep Schedule for Films and Television Productions" is that you will be able to use each of these 11 prep schedules as actual templates for your own films or TV productions. Not only can you use these 11 Daily Prep Schedules as valuable reference tools to print out and study, but you can also use each of them as actual templates to help you better organize and schedule the daily meetings and scouts for any movie or TV show during prep. To find out more about Part Two of this course, "Creating the Daily Prep Schedule for Feature Films and Television Productions," please click here: http://www.actioncutprint.com/dps/dailyprepschedule.html BONUS - I have also included one Feature Film Prep Schedule Template at the end of this course for you to look at. (Page 148) "The Script Breakdown & Film Scheduling course itself was already a great help to my filmmaking career. Now that I have these Prep Schedule templates, it makes my understanding of the whole process a lot clearer than before." Max Marois, Vancouver, Canada © Peter D. Marshall (3) ActionCutPrint.com Website Links, Audio and Video Files (1) WEBSITE LINKS - I have tried to keep all reference links in the course as up to date as possible. But nothing is permanent on the Internet, so if you come across a broken link, an error message or a page/file not found, please contact me at: [email protected] (2) DISCUSSION FORUM - To help everyone who bought this course, I created an Online forum called "Script Breakdown and Film Scheduling Online Course Discussion Forum." If you have any questions you need answered from this course, or you want to start or join a discussion, please post them on this forum so as many people as possible can participate and learn from this group. http://www.quicktopic.com/43/H/XSXxNTEPRDk6R (3) BONUS AUDIO FILES - I divided the 160-page course into 8 Sections and each Section has two mp3 files for easier downloading. You can hear each of these mp3 files now by clicking on the 16 links below. I have checked each link myself and they are all working. Once the mp3 file is playing on your computer, go to "File - Save Page As." This will download the audio file onto your desktop where you can then open it in your own audio program or burn it to CD or transfer it to your iPod. Please wait until the whole audio file has downloaded before trying "File- Save Page As." (This may take some time depending on your bandwidth.) If you can't download your audio files to your computer because the "Save As" is not enabled, you may be trying to save the file too early before the audio has fully downloaded onto your computer. http://actioncutprint.com/sbfs/audio/Audio1A.mp3 http://actioncutprint.com/sbfs/audio/Audio1B.mp3 http://actioncutprint.com/sbfs/audio/Audio2A.mp3 http://actioncutprint.com/sbfs/audio/Audio2B.mp3 http://actioncutprint.com/sbfs/audio/Audio3A.mp3 http://actioncutprint.com/sbfs/audio/Audio3B.mp3 http://actioncutprint.com/sbfs/audio/Audio4A.mp3 http://actioncutprint.com/sbfs/audio/Audio4B.mp3 © Peter D.

Please try using a different browser to open the files. Another method of downloading these mp3 audio files is to copy each audio link into your Quicktime Player, Real Audio Player or Windows Media Player. Using Quicktime - To copy the link of each recording, open your Quicktime Player, go to "File" then "Open URL" then paste it in the box and press OK and it should play immediately. This method requires no downloading and can be easily saved. NOTE: If the file doesn't open in your Player, it could be corrupted. You will need to download another player.

If you have any problems downloading these mp3 files, please contact me at: [email protected] (4) BONUS SCRIPT BREAKDOWN/FILM SCHEDULING VIDEOS - I have also included a series of 5 videos that show you, step-by-step, the process of how I created the script breakdown, one-liners, Day-out-of-Days and shooting schedule from the 21 page script I used in the course.

    Writers Professional Working Materials INTRODUCTION Writers professional working materials and the tools of the trade – they are considered the sales tools for a writer’s work. These will be the most utilised materials when trying to establish yourself as a scriptwriter as either writer-for-hire work or when pitching your own original idea. No Producer or Production Company (locally or internationally) will ever read a script, treatment, logline or synopsis – unless a pre-existing relationship is in place – unsolicited. This means writers first need to be invited to send through materials in the manner that best suits that Producer or Production Companies. This helps to protect copyright or a copyright claim for both parties. It is also important to note that in international territories only Agents are able to introduce writers to Producers and Production Companies. Below each header you will find links to helpful sites and further information. As a screenwriter your job is to write, research, write, learn, write, and adapt. Google is your friend and before you ask Facebook for the answer, ask Google! Or check out the NZWG website for information on knowing your rights, contracting, useful facts and upcoming events. Before going any further, the below link is a must read for newcomers and is aimed at people applying for early development funding.

  • Bob Oei Thesis Final Final
    ABSTRACT The Cinematography of Closet Memories Robert Oei, M.A. Advisor: Christopher J. Hansen, M.F.A. The cinematography of a film heavily influences the audience’s mood and their perception of tension. The way a director of photography uses lights and the camera can enhance or destroy the moments of a film a director has built. Keeping this knowledge in mind, the cinematography of Closet Memories uses film noir lighting, a mixture of handheld and smooth camera work, and other techniques to maintain the emotional content of the film’s scenes.

  • Duties of a Cinematographer in Creating a Film
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, July 2016, Vol. 6, No. 7, 824-827 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2016.07.013 D DAVID PUBLISHING Duties of a Cinematographer in Creating a Film Ikboljon Melikuziev State Institute of Arts and Culture, Tashkent, Uzbekistan The present article deals with the duties, role and methodical peculiarities of a cinematographer in creating a feature film. The development of creating artistic works in the high creative level and its process is comparatively analyzed within the progress of the Uzbek cinematography. Keywords: cinematographer, film director, critic, image, lightness, recurs, production, picture, plastics, rhythm, composition, editing, scenario, method Introduction The art of cinematography has not been studied widely. It is very difficult to express the description of a film by words. One must see the picture and just for this case a cinematographer’s artistic activity of many years needs careful study. They say, it is not written much about a cameraman’s work yet. In our opinion, the essence of their creativity involves expressing the method, plastics and descriptive decision of a ready feature film. The film supposedly is connected only with the name of a director as a single filmmaker. While criticizing a film they usually speak just about a director and leading actors. You can hardly find anything about a cameraman’s work. Naturally, it is not enough. However, a cameraman’s work spent for artistic picture demands a serious analyses and careful study. Undoubtedly, the right stylistics, artistically completeness of the form which strengthens the effective power of a feature film and accepting the film by the audience depends on the cinematographer’s skills.

  • Syllabus Fall 2007
    USC School of Cinematic Arts Production Planning CTPR 425 SYLLABUS Fall 2007 Instuctor: Robert Brown CTPR 425 Production Planning Syllabus How do you turn a script into a film? This course will attempt to answer that question by examining the process of production planning for film. By the end of the semester, each student should not only have a conceptual grasp of how to line, breakdown, schedule, and budget a screenplay, but also have the practical skill to actually do it. Our goal, however, is not to make you into professional production managers, but rather to introduce you to the basic principles of production planning. Although, there are differences in scale and detail, the processes involved are essentially the same whether one is making a major studio feature, a low-budget feature, a movie-of-the-week, an episodic television show, an educational film, an industrial film, or a student film. Using a script from a one-hour episodic television show, each class member will line a script, make a production board, a day-out-of-days, and develop a shooting schedule. The class will also examine actual film budgets for both a large studio release and a low budget independent, account by account, in order to reach an understanding of the various elements that go into the making of a film. Grading Criteria In an effort to make the grading process as fair and objective as possible, I will use the following method. Assignments (Total Possible Points - 100) The five projects will be due at various times during the term.
