Breakdowns can be sorted before printing, using Primary and Secondary Sort criteria:
Sort Breakdown Primarily by...
Script Order—Prints a breakdown of all scenes in the order they appear in the document (without any sorting).
Interior VS. Exterior—Lists all the EXT. scenes, followed by all the INT. scenes.
Location—Lists by Location in alphabetical order, grouping all scenes that take place in the same Location.
Time-of-Day—Lists by Time-of-Day in alphabetical order, grouping all scenes that have the same Time-of-Day.
Characters
• |
All—Lists Every Character Name in the document in alphabetical order, followed by the scenes they're in (whether they have dialogue or not). |
• |
Some—Lists Selected Character Names in alphabetical order, followed by the scenes they're in (whether they have dialogue or not). Checking this radio button and pressing OK brings up a Select Names screen. Click on a name to select it, and Double-Click on the top bar of the Select Names screen to return to the Production Breakdowns menu. |
NOTE: If you select any Primary sort other than Script Order, Time-of-Day Normalization is performed—any scene that ends with CONTINUOUS, LATER, or SAME TIME is automatically given the previous Scene Heading's Time-of-Day.
• |
Movie Magic Scheduling (File)—Prints a breakdown to disk, saving it as a Movie Magic Scheduling import file. It contains the Scene Number, Scene Heading, and Starting Page Number and page count in Eighths of a page. Options under Secondary Sort and Miscellaneous is grayed out and unselectable. |
