The scheduling 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: * Cast Actors * Special Effects * Wardrobe * Special Equipment * Stunts * Extras/Silent Bits * Props * Make-up/Hair * Extras/Atmosphere * Vehicles/Animals * Sound Effects/Music * Production Notes * Others 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.
