Set scene start times and the cast calls

Steps

1. Scroll to SCENE SCHEDULE and read the table.

   The heading shows how many scheduled scenes the day has, for example 4 scheduled scenes. The columns are Start, Sc (the scene number), Heading / description, I/E, D/N, Pages, Cast (the cast ID numbers) and Location. Everything except Start comes from the schedule and the breakdown.

2. Click a Start box and type the time the scene should start.

   The box may show a faint about time as a suggestion when the schedule can estimate one. A suggestion is not entered until you type it. Meal, travel and custom rows from the schedule, such as Lunch, have a Start box too.

3. Scroll to TALENT / CAST and fill in the Actor boxes that read Needs input.

   The table has ID, Actor, Character, Status, Pickup, Makeup, Call and Contact and notes. ID and Character come from the project. Actor is carried over from the cast list when the project has it.

4. For each actor, type the Call time. Add Status, Pickup and Makeup times where they apply.

   Call reads Needs input until you enter a time. The Status box shows SW, W, WF as a hint for the usual working codes. Pickup and Makeup are free text. Contact and Notes sit side by side in the last column.
