These are a one page per scene overview of all the elements that you have in a certain scene. This does print breakdown sheets but they look very different. Then, below that we have another option that is very different, where it says “Script Breakdown Sheets”. This can be a bit confusing because this option is located here in the print dialog so that’s why I’m pointing it out. But rather, it exports the production breakdown information to a Movie Magic Scheduling file. This does not print production breakdowns. If you take a look at the settings in the upper left again, you see that the next option to select is “Movie Magic Scheduling, and it says “File” in parenthesis. So let’s just see how that looks before we go through the other settings.Īs you can see you have the information of your scenes in a list, ordered by whatever you chose before in the print dialog. On the right side you can also choose to check to include your tagged items in the script or not. If you choose any of those four, this will print out a list of your breakdown items. Here you can define the first order of your breakdown information: The most important settings here are the “Sort Breakdowns primarily by…” settings in the upper left. In order to print production breakdowns you can either go to the print dialog, and select the “Production Breakdowns” radio button there, or you go to “Production – Brakdowns – Print Standard Breakdowns”.Ĭlick “OK”, and this will take you to the window where you can select your production breakdown print options. Okay, now let’s look at what kind of production breakdowns you can create with Movie Magic Screenwriter. Just keep in mind that even if you tagged all the elements in your script, this might not be everything that you need in order to shoot the scenes. Keep in mind that planning a shoot involves much more than just tagging items and printing production breakdown, obviously.Īpart from everything that literally appears in your script you need to make sure that you have all the elements that are not mentioned in your script in place as well, but talking about the whole pre-production process is definitely beyond the scope of this video. Once you did this and all the element you need to track and organize for your shoot are tagged, you can include them in your production breakdowns. For this, have a look at the article about “Tagging Mode”.

In order for this to work you need to have tagged all the elementes beforehand. When you are in preproduction of your script, or rather, movie or TV project, you will need a good overview over all the elements in your script that are needed for certain scenes on certain shooting days.įor this, Movie Magic Screenwriter gives you the possibility to print out so-called “Production Breakdowns” that list all the elements that appear in a scene.
