Creating and editing scenes
Changes, wear notes and prep notes all hang off scenes, so adding your scenes early gives the rest of your continuity somewhere to live.
Add scenes one at a time here, or pull a whole script in at once with Importing scenes from a script.
Adding a scene
- Open your Scenes list and click Create Scene.
- Enter a number in the Scene # field.
- On episodic projects, pick the Episode the scene belongs to.
- Add Location Type, Location Name, Time of Day, Script Day and Shoot Date as you have them. Only the number is required.
- Click Create. The scene opens ready for changes and wear notes.
To edit a scene later, open it, click Edit, make your changes, then click Save.
- On the Scenes tab, tap the add button in the bottom corner.
- Enter the scene number in the Scene # field.
- On episodic projects, choose the Episode from the dropdown.
- Add Location Type, Location Name, Time of Day and Shoot Date. Only the number is required.
- Tap save. The scene appears straight away, even offline.
To edit a scene later, open it, tap the edit button, then save.
What the fields mean
- Scene #: the number or slate. It drives how scenes sort and how you find them.
- Episode (episodic projects): the episode the scene belongs to. See Working with episodes.
- Location Type and Location Name: where the scene plays, for example INT or EXT and the set name.
- Time of Day: morning, day, evening or night.
- Script Day: the story day the scene falls on, separate from when you film it.
- Shoot Date: when you plan to film the scene. Scenes can be grouped by this date.
Set a shoot date and you can group the Scenes list by shoot day to match the call sheet. See Sorting and grouping scenes.
Next, add the characters in each scene so their changes and wear notes have a home. See Adding characters to scenes.
