Cast and Crew
This Directors outline presents the film as it will be watched. The structure remains divided into scenes, as initially read during the first script read-through.
While the original script remains unchanged, we are incorporating "inserts" into the film timeline to streamline production and ensure consistency for the actors.
In the director’s master timeline:
If a "scene" or an "insert" (added from the first script read-through) is left-aligned, it has ben filmed during Block A (April 4-10).
If a scene or insert is center-aligned, it will be filmed during Block B (May 1-5).
The schedules for Block C are yet to be determined.
The schedules for Block D (May 9-12).
