“The Scheduler” from WattWenn
“The blank page that is the list of scenes in ‘story order’, is a daunting sight when starting a schedule. WattWenn helps divide things into smaller bites in a logical way, much like shooting a scene on set. Planning each set, or location, and then slotting those planned groups into ‘the whole’ is remarkably simple. WattWenn thinks like me.”
~~ Chris Newman (Game of Thrones)
Production Boards
A traditional production board is a cardboard chart holding color-coded strips of paper, each containing information about a scene in the script. Production strips are then laid out sequentially to represent the scene order that the Assistant Director (AD) will schedule the film. These have now been replaced by digital production scheduling software that follow the same patterns.
