Scheduling is an important instrument for filmmaking, where it can have a major impact on the productivity of the entire film production process. The purpose of scheduling is to minimize the production time and costs therefore maximizing the efficiency of the operation and reducing costs. The production schedule is a project plan of how the production budget will be spent over a given timescale, for every phase of filmmaking.
A shooting schedule is a project plan of each day’s shooting for a film production. Both schedules represent a timeline stating where and when production resources are used. It is normally created and managed by the assistant director, whom reports to the production manager managing the production schedule but can be handle by OLA Pictures along with the following scheduling services listed below.
