<p>A <b>script breakdown</b> is an intermediate step in the production of a <a href="Play_(theatre)" title="Play (theatre)">play</a>, <a href="Film" title="Film">film</a>, <a href="Comic_book" title="Comic book">comic book</a>, or any other work that is originally planned using a script.

<p>In <a href="Film" title="Film">film</a> and <a href="Television" title="Television">television</a>, a <b>script breakdown</b> is an analysis of a <a href="Screenplay" title="Screenplay">screenplay</a> in which all of the <a href="Film_production" class="mw-redirect" title="Film production">production</a> elements are reduced into lists. Within these lists are, in essence, the foundation of creating a <a href="Production_board" title="Production board">production board</a>, which is fundamental in creating a <a href="Production_schedule" title="Production schedule">production schedule</a> and <a href="Production_budget" title="Production budget">production budget</a> of an entire production of any film or television program in <a href="Pre-production" title="Pre-production">pre-production</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Honthaner_Page_81_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Honthaner_Page_81-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This process is a very tedious and complex task, and is usually the responsibility of the <a href="Assistant_Director" class="mw-redirect" title="Assistant Director">Assistant Director</a> or first or 1AD within the production staff of any given production company. However, many <a href="Film_director" title="Film director">film directors</a> and <a href="Film_producer" title="Film producer">film producers</a> have knowledge of breaking down a script.

</p><p>In particular, literally <a href="Breaking_down_the_script" class="mw-redirect" title="Breaking down the script">breaking down the script</a> is a very a thorough and detailed creative analysis of dramatic action in <a href="Filmmaking" title="Filmmaking">filmmaking</a>, highlighting the reciprocal struggle, theme, and design elements of a screenplay. Which is to code the entire <a href="Casting_(performing_arts)" title="Casting (performing arts)">cast</a>, <a href="Extra_(acting)" title="Extra (acting)">extras</a>, <a href="Theatrical_property" class="mw-redirect" title="Theatrical property">props</a>, <a href="Special_effect" title="Special effect">special effects</a>, <a href="Stunt" title="Stunt">stunts</a>, <a href="Wrangler_(profession)" title="Wrangler (profession)">wranglers</a>, picture cars,<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="Costume_designer" title="Costume designer">wardrobe</a>, <a href="Make-up_artist" title="Make-up artist">make-up</a> and <a href="Make-Up_Artists_and_Hair_Stylists_Guild" class="mw-redirect" title="Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild">hair stylists</a>, special equipment and or <a href="Movie_camera" title="Movie camera">cameras</a>, <a href="Dubbing_(filmmaking)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dubbing (filmmaking)">ADR</a>,

<a href="Foley_(filmmaking)" title="Foley (filmmaking)">Foley</a>, <a href="Film_score" title="Film score">film scores</a> and <a href="Soundtrack" title="Soundtrack">soundtracks</a> etc., which are all broken-down with different colored <a href="Sharpie_(marker)" title="Sharpie (marker)">marker</a> highlights within a <a href="Shooting_script" title="Shooting script">shooting script</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Honthaner_Page_81_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Honthaner_Page_81-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>After which, these highlights are then organized and broken-down into strips to organize the production schedule within the actual physical production board. This process is more easily done nowadays utilizing a <a href="Computer" title="Computer">computer</a> than done manually, with features inside <a href="Final_Draft_(software)" title="Final Draft (software)">Final Draft</a> called tagger, or utilizing tagging mode inside <a href="Movie_Magic_Screenwriter" title="Movie Magic Screenwriter">Movie Magic Screenwriter</a>, another effective <a href="Computer_program" title="Computer program">computer program</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This information can easily be imported over to Movie Magic Scheduling to create a digital production board, and then easily imported over to Movie Magic Budgeting to create the entire production budget. Most of the script and production computer software out there comes in both <a href="Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a> and <a href="MacOS" title="MacOS">MacOS</a> versions, and even though there is competing <a href="Screenwriting_software" title="Screenwriting software">software</a> on the market, these which are listed are considered to be an entertainment industry standard. This whole process of the script breakdown<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> however is not to be confused with <a href="Casting_(performing_arts)" title="Casting (performing arts)">character breakdowns</a> utilized with <a href="Casting_call" class="mw-redirect" title="Casting call">casting calls</a>, this is an entire different process with similar names, however administered by two entirely separate departments.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Marking_elements">Marking elements</h3></div>

<p>To ease future production, an assistant director marks the elements found in each scene. This process repeats for each new scene. By the end, the producer will be able to see which scenes need which elements, and can begin to schedule accordingly. The film industry has a standard for <a href="Color_code" title="Color code">color-coding</a>:<sup id="cite_ref-Cleve_2012_p._25_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Cleve_2012_p._25-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Comics">Comics</h2></div>

<p>In <a href="Comic_book" title="Comic book">comic books</a>, it is the process of determining how each action, character, and piece of dialogue described in the <a href="Script_(comics)" title="Script (comics)">script</a> will be placed visually on a page. In the studio system that dominated mass-market comic-book production from the 1940s through the 1970s, breakdowns were done by the <a href="Penciller" title="Penciller">penciller</a> or by a separate breakdown artist, rarely by the scriptwriter; in some cases, breakdowns were done from a rough story outline before the dialogue was written (the "<a href="Marvel_method" class="mw-redirect" title="Marvel method">Marvel method</a>"). Later comics writers such as <a href="Alan_Moore" title="Alan Moore">Alan Moore</a> and <a href="Neil_Gaiman" title="Neil Gaiman">Neil Gaiman</a>, influenced by cinematic technique, began to include more layout details within their scripts. Cartoonists who both write and draw their own work sometimes begin with a script and do their own breakdowns, and sometimes work through drawings without a separate script.
