The Script Breakdown
As an Assistant Director (AD), one of your jobs is to line the script, transfer to breakdown pages, and create a shooting schedule. When breaking down the elements of a screenplay, there will be many things to look out for and get organized for an efficient film production.
You're not just looking for cast and locations, but props, extras count and stunt doubles, multiple cameras, special equipment, etc. In addition you have to indicate everything that the writer intended not actually listed. The writer's job is to tell a great story. As an AD, your job is to turn that story into movie magic, and leave nothing out.
Tom Kane's All New Film Production Workshop DVD Series was recorded on location in Denver, CO during a live workshop. The package includes: 8 discs: 7 DVDs of the 3-Day Film Workshop, recorded live, plus the Workshop Manual, and both Prizzi's Honor and Crossfire Trail screenplays on disc. The DVDs are enhanced with visual references to The Workshop Manual.
Through this course Tom will discuss factors related to International Filming as well, with examples from his own work as Producer of Crossfire Trail (filmed in Canada) and Brush with Fate (filmed in The Netherlands).
There are additional bonus clips on each disc with anecdotes from Tom about his own experience in the film industry.
