Production schedule

The production schedule is a project plan of how the production budget will be spent over a given timescale, for every phase of a business project.

The scheduing process starts with the script, which is analysed and broken down, scene by scene, onto a sequence of breakdown sheets, each of which records the resources required to execute the scene. These resources include:

From the breakdown sheets the Production Manager compiles a production board which is used as the basis for a shooting schedule for every day of the shoot.
