Video Transcript

"Hi Chris Cobb for Expert Village. It's been a couple hours. Guess what? I'm done. So let's take a look. So we are on our final break down sheet. Take a look to see how many break down sheets it takes. One hundred and ninety seven sheets for one hundred and ninety seven scenes. Now I don't always break down a sheet per scene but I did this time to show the most straight forward way to do it. All the information we expect is there. Interior, Space Needle, Night, four eighths of a page, Synopsis, and a lot of cast members. So the next step for us is to go to the strip board or production boards as you?ll here me call it. We know how to do that. We'll go up to schedule and select strip board. However there's another way to go about it and let me show you what that is. See this screen color remember what that stands for. Stands for interior night. Remember when we designed our strip colors we created them here interior night and there it is that green. If this was a exterior night this it would be blue. Let me show you. You may have already noticed this as you we're breaking down the script but just go through it just to emphasize the point. There it is blue and if I select IE it would be gray and TBD for instance is that fuchsia color which shows. Remember? Ok? So let's go back up. Day two. So this color represents the color of the strip but not only that it represents the strip itself. So go ahead and click it. Viola! There we are! Our last breakdown sheet in the schedule. It's red because I've selected it by clicking it so let me click the one next to it. There you go! There it is scene one ninety seven. So when we come back let's take a closer look at the strips and the production board itself."
