"Hi, Chris Cobb for Expert Village. So we just created our first partial scene breakdown sheet. Now we're going to do a few more. If you remember the scene it, it said, snap: Sully looks cranky, snap: Hannah looks like a deer in the headlights, snap: Hannah looks like she's on death row, and so on. So there was at least three of those and we have to call out a few more. I just want to show you the easy way to create more of those same partial scene breakdown sheets. So let's take a look at the sheet we just created. See the fuschia up top. Here it is. And we see sheet, 69A, scene 69 part. So we've got to add a couple more breakdowns featuring the Hannah shot. So the best way to do it is to go up top to the button with the two pages as it's icon. That's the duplicate sheet button. We click it, and you notice the sheet number disappears, not because the sheet itself is erased, but because now a new sheet is added. So let's call it 69B, keep it part of the series. Everything else in the first line stays the same. And we go down to synopsis. We change this to Hannah as a deer in headlights. Great. Script A stays the same. Let's go down to elements, cast members. In here we have to add Hannah and remove Sully. There we go. It's that easy. Another sheet, 69B, scene 69 part. Zero page count. Voila."
