Script Breakdown

Script Breakdown

Introduction

We're excited to introduce the Script Breakdown feature — a powerful tool designed to help you prepare and plan your film or TV production in more detail than ever before.

This feature allows you to use your script as a foundation for organising everything you'll need for production, from props and costumes to locations and cast.

Getting Started

To get started with script breakdown, you'll first need to create or upload your script. Once uploaded, your script will be treated as the master script — this is the version the app uses as the basis for your breakdown. You can add additional scripts, but only the master script will be analysed for breakdown purposes.

Once your master script is added, the app will automatically generate a list of all scenes. You can view these by selecting Breakdown from the left-hand navigation menu.

Features of the Script Breakdown Tool

You can think of this feature as your production team's pre-production dashboard. Here's what you can do:

  • Automatically generate a scene list based on your master script
  • View scene metadata, such as character presence and script coverage
  • Tag essential elements directly from your script — including cast, props, vehicles, costumes, stunts, special effects, and more
  • Organise your breakdown using a category panel and in-line colour-coded highlights
  • Search and filter tagged items to quickly find what you need
  • Create or delete custom categories for full control over your breakdown structure

    • Tagging Items in Your Script

    To tag an item from your script:

  • Navigate to the Breakdown section and select the scene you'd like to work on.
  • In the focused scene view, highlight the word or phrase you want to tag.
  • A popup will appear — choose the section (e.g. Elements), the category (e.g. Props, Makeup, Vehicles), and whether to tag a single instance or all occurrences.
  • Click Tag — the item will now appear highlighted in the scene with a colour code for its category.
  • The item is also added to the panel on the right, where you can view, expand, and manage all tagged items.

    • What Happens Next

    Once you've tagged your script, all relevant items will automatically appear in their respective sections of the app. This means you can start planning earlier and ensure you're fully prepared when it's time to shoot.
