Scenes Reports

There are two Scenes Reports (available for all departments except Set Dec):

  1. All Scenes Report
  • All Scenes - Outline - Without Characters

This report generates a list of all the Scenes in your production. Information will include the Scene Number, the Script Day, the Shoot Date, and the Script Location.

  • All Scenes - Detailed - With Characters

This generates the same information as the outline, but it will also include the Principal and Background Characters in each Scene, along with their Changes/Looks/Props (depending on department) in that Scene and a short description of that Change/Look.

Pro Tip: You can click Data Export in line with this report to download a CSV spreadsheet file that includes the Scene Number, Script Day, Shoot Date, Script Location, Scene Description, and Principals.
