What CinePlatform Contains
CinePlatform brings script development and production preparation into a shared workspace. You can write a screenplay before creating a production, or organise an existing screenplay with a production team.
The Main Areas
| Area | What You Can Do |
|---|---|
| My Scripts and production Scripts | Write screenplays, keep documents and revisions, collect notes, build mind maps and beat sheets, and share writing. |
| Script Breakdown and Elements | Import a screenplay, identify scene requirements and track the work needed to prepare them. |
| Shot List and Mood Boards | Plan coverage and collect visual references. Storyboard images can accompany shots. |
| Cast, Crew, Contacts and Locations | Connect characters and crew roles to people, and choose real sets for story locations. |
| Tasks, Coordination and Calendar | Assign work, organise timelines and see dated production activity. |
| Scheduling and Call Sheets | Arrange shooting days, plan people requirements and distribute daily instructions. |
| Budget and Expenses | Plan itemised costs and record spending and payment status. |
| Files and Chat | Keep production materials and conversations together. |
Available areas depend on access granted to you and the features available for the production. Some controls are unavailable in a sandbox.
Follow A Production Workflow
- Create or accept an invitation to a production.
- Write or import the script you intend to prepare.
- Import it into Script Breakdown, review the detected scenes and tag requirements.
- Cast characters, fill crew roles and approve location sets.
- Plan shots and assign preparation tasks.
- Create a shooting schedule, arrange day breaks and check people requirements.
- Prepare, preview and distribute the day's call sheet.
This is a suggested order, not a requirement to complete every area. A small project can use only the tools it needs.
Two Kinds Of Script Work
The writer holds editable writing documents. Script Breakdown holds the production's imported scenes and requirements. Import a writer document into the breakdown when it is ready; the guide does not treat later writing changes as an automatic update to the production breakdown.
