Generate the Camera Cards report from a script/Shooting Order script

Shooting order script is a compilation of scenes in the order that they were displayed in a schedule. Once you have created a schedule and sorted it, such as according to the set, characters, or time of the day, you can create a script in shooting order. While creating this script, you can specify if you want to include Location scenes only, Studio scenes or both in the script. You can then distribute the script in shooting order to the production staff and crew for reference.

In addition to schedules, camera cards can now be generated from the shooting order script and from the source scripts. The shot numbering schemes for the reports are as follows:

  • Camera Cards [Script]: The camera shot numbers are the same as the camera shot numbers in the source script.
  • Camera Cards [Schedule]: Numbering is sequential and is based on the order of scenes in the schedule. Proper numbering is applied to subshots and shots with no camera shot number.
  • Camera Cards [Shooting Order Script]: The camera shot numbers are the same as the camera shot numbers in the shooting order script.
