"Hi Chris Cobb for Expert Village. So now we've read the scene and we're going to break it down into EP scheduling. Let's do it! So as we saw in the scene that we just read. It's scene eighty-two interior Space Needle elevator and it actually says sunset. We'll go ahead and call it dusk here. That is the color changes it is an interior dusk shot. So the color up here changes accordingly. The page count was seven eighths and the synopsis will say that Hannah, Bobby, and Dee go down in Elevator. Now one quick thing I wanted you to know is in the synopsis you have all this room to go but you really need to stop right about here where it lines up with set and that's because it will not fit on the strip otherwise. So we've got that. The script day, I know, the script day is seven and these are just things you are going to have to figure out as you go through a script and the cast members down here Hannah, Bobby, and Dee and that that's simple. You just have to plow through and get every single scene onto a breakdown sheet. So let's keep going."
