A Script Breakdown is an important filmmaking process that allows you to determine and list out every single element needed to prep, schedule and budget your film production. It's an incredible tool to determine the unique considerations and needs for every department, both on the technical and creative side. Andrew Spieler (Assistant Director on RocketJump: The Show) shows how we broke down a few different scenes from the short "High Plains Drifter" (or The Good, The Fast, and The Furious).

THIS is the stuff I want to know about. People don't realize this stuff exists and I'm glad to have a more specific glimpse into filmmaking! Thanks guys.

@maxjones503 8 лет назад

This was incredibly useful. i wish there would've been a shot directly showing all the different marker colours with the paper saying what they'd each be clearly.

@maxjones503 8 лет назад

okay thanks!

@kalakartist 7 лет назад

it's upto you. just assign any color to any department. and think for yourself. it's part of being a good AD

@AndreTosatti 7 лет назад

if anyone wants to go deeper in that road, there's a book called "Film Scheduling", by Ralph S. Singleton. He uses the script of 'The Conversation' as an example (and also as an exercise) to explain that 1/8 stuff, the use of tags, color, order of filming, separation of shootings by locations, actors, exterior, interior, etc. It's very enlightening and teaches a great deal about the whole process.

God, I would love to be this guys 2nd or 3rd AD. He's so chilled.

Am I the only one who thinks this actually looks fun?

@sham8892 7 лет назад

nope

@niquoOG 7 лет назад

hell no, maybe once, but when you're in filmschool doing this for every member of the class...damn it gets ugly

@AdequateProximityPH 7 лет назад

Michael Moyer Am I the only one who gets sick of the "Am I the only one" comments because the answer is obviously no each and every time

@robschneider8310 7 лет назад

No... you're not...

@danl1519 8 лет назад

I broke down your video and marked you as the only CAST MEMBER. Your intro was categorized as a SPECIAL EFFECT with lightening SOUND following it. Your hat was labeled a PROP and COSTUMES. The off screen laugh was an EXTRA with SOUND. Your pens and index cards were categorized as PROPS and SET DRESSING as was your desk, chair and two picture frames. Your water glass was also labeled as SET DRESSING... unless you took a sip from it, then it would've been labeled as a PROP as well. I just had to run that by PROPS department for clarification. The Starbucks coffee cup & water glass as seen in the profile shot may possibly be an indication of a hangover... your SET DRESSER should be reprimanded as continuity was not maintained unless the disappearing water glass was a SPECIAL EFFECT then their job is safe. Finally, I marked your Breakdown Sheet as a PROP. No MAKEUP, MUSIC, VEHICLES, SPECIAL EQUIPMENT, STUNTS, GREENERY, ANIMAL HANDLER or LIVESTOCK was harmed in this video. Interestingly though, there was a horse SOUND immediately following the intro and I wasn't sure if that had some subtext meaning.

@moremalachi4837 7 лет назад

Dan L if someone is singing would that go under music/sound effects or nothing at all . someone help me out.

@wolflover319able 7 лет назад

Dan L I think it depends if there is a backing track or not

@carolmcbrideonline 6 лет назад

both. question for on set sound team (is there playback required).

@maraikaanimations797 6 лет назад

thanks for that lol :D

@judichristopher4604 6 лет назад

Dan L I love this... You are Good!!!

I've been producing for over 40 years. And for the most part I'm doing it all. This was absolutely perfect. Not only did it validate what I've been doing, it's given me many more ideas as I move into producing a video series. The guy on camera was personable and yup - made it look like fun - for those of us who love details. Thanks!

@cialuworldwidemedia1639 6 лет назад

This has got to be one of the single most informative videos on script breakdown that I've ever seen. I learned so much from this. OMG, I wish I would've known this when I first started my miniseries last year.

@vacabrosProductions 8 лет назад

Awesome video! Can you guys please make one on film scheduling

@catherinemcgonigle9847 7 лет назад

I thought that was a fantastic script break down. As someone doing a bit of hobby film making in my spare time I can see how the prep can save a lot of time. Much appreciated Andrew.

@loriannehall4651 2 года назад

I'm a University professor and show this video to my film producing students. It is an excellent example! You guys did a great job conveying complicated concepts for first time film students to understand easily. Thank you!

@Jonnyvonwallstrom 8 лет назад

This is perfect for beginners, very organized... Good job!

@CodestarProductions 8 лет назад

It's great that you guys do these kinda of tutorial videos, most film channels don't show the less flashy stuff like this, but they're super important

@Grantm56 8 лет назад

I would like to thank RocketJump Film School for being so thorough with this tutorial! This has helped me SO much!

@MDMart 8 лет назад

This is something more amateur filmmakers need to do (maybe not to that extent, but at least for props). This would save so many headaches on set, when you realize that you do not have that thing that you need. One question; shouldn't "the bartender" be in all caps, as it is his first appearance in the script?

@joeygonzo 6 лет назад

Even if he had no lines?

@SortOfEggish 6 лет назад

same with the speaking "Crony". Capitalizing one of the cronies would save the AD the headache of having to go back and fix an extra/speaking role dispute

@JarrahFilms 7 лет назад

This whole channel is so useful! Only found it today and it's already getting the itch to film going

@EvanHarter 8 лет назад

When I write scripts I usually signify initial use of props/SFX/VFX/sounds with capitalization. Problem with that is it gets convoluted and props sometimes make multiple appearances, so this is a way cleaner solution I wish was taught in the film school I attended. Also nice to see that the AD does more than time management. I am so grateful for resources like these. I messed around with the tagging in CeltX before they scared me away from their increasingly online-only platform, but may return for features like this.

@ceecee4873 5 лет назад

His job is simply amazing. It basically epitomizes the saying "reading between the lines."

@EdwardMidgleyFilms 8 лет назад

One of the most helpful Rocket Jump film school videos! Great job!

@LostUtopiaFilms 8 лет назад

So glad to have watched this! Usually when I broke down a script I'd just go through the script and write down everything I need into little sections, but color coding the different types seems like much less of a headache! Thanks for the tips!

@laurannbartlett7544 Месяц назад

This was so helpful! I appreciate the specific examples of when an element may follow in more than one category and involve more department.

@thisguy7612 5 лет назад

I am wanting to be a writer... actually have been writing for a little over a year now. I knew the steps to writing a script like scene heading, the action, etc, etc. I didn't know that a writer had to do this as well, I looked up a lot of "how to write a script" or "how to structure a script" videos; I looked up a script breakdown just for fun and now I just learned something completely new. Thank you.

@Five0h4rFinest 2 месяца назад

I'm current working on a movie script myself, and this is truly helpful how intricate and detailed this is

@johnford3825 5 лет назад
