Scene breakdowns in Think Crew transform your script content into production-ready information by identifying and organizing all the elements needed for shooting. Effective breakdown management is essential for successful scheduling and budgeting.
Automatic Breakdown Creation
When you import a script, Think Crew automatically:
- Creates breakdown sheets for each scene
- Extracts INT/EXT, day/night, and location information from scene headings
- Identifies character elements based on character cues
- Calculates page counts for each scene
- Organizes these elements into appropriate categories
Adding Elements to Breakdowns
You can enhance your breakdowns with additional elements:
- Manual Addition: Add elements directly to breakdowns through the Elements pane
- From Categories: Select existing elements from category lists to add them to a scene
Managing Breakdown Data
Keep your breakdowns organized and accurate by:
- Reviewing automatically extracted data and correcting if needed
- Setting script page numbers and scene numbers for reference
- Adding description notes to provide context for each scene
- Managing element tags directly from the script by clicking on tagged words
- Using the Elements pane to organize and categorize all production items
Well-managed breakdowns form the foundation of efficient production scheduling in Think Crew, creating a seamless workflow from script to shoot day.
