Overview of How to Use EP Scheduling

Video Transcript

"Hi, Chris Cobb for Expert Village, welcome back. So we have done a lot today. Let's run through it. The first thing we did was we broke down our script into eighths of a page and then we color coded it; either using highlighters or we tagged it in either Final Draft Tagger or Movie Magic Screenwriter. We also designed our strip colors and assigned our board ID's. Then we input all that information into EP Scheduling either by hand or we imported it again from Final Draft Tagger or Movie Magic Screenwriter. So that should give you a pretty good idea of how your breakdown sheets become strips on your production board. The production board of course, is the foundation for scheduling your movie and so it is vitally important. We'll have to learn about that in another episode, we've done so much today already. We've broken down the script with color coding, we've inputted into EP Scheduling, we've assigned strip colors, we've assigned board ID's, we've input all of the elements into different categories. That's a lot of work and you should be pretty pleased with the start that you've gotten on breaking down your script and getting ready to schedule it. So thanks for watching, I hope you learned a lot, this has been Chris Cobb for Expert Village, see you next time."
