So… Short Film Dialogue Breakdowns?
October 1st, 2010 | Posted by in 17 West | Filmmaking | Playing Through | Producing
Playing Through recently picked up a distributor and while Producer Eric got a package of materials ready for them, I was given one assignment:
Dialogue Breakdown
I’m not even entirely sure that’s what you call it but I wasn’t thrilled. It’s tedious work.
Basically, I needed to produce a spread sheet containing each line of dialogue, who said it and include in and out cues for each.
Gross.
In the end, I’m thankful Playing Through is only 19 minutes long so it only really took a couple hours.
Now, should our short film get picked up in another country, subtitles will be ready to go.
It’s an assignment I didn’t think I’d ever have to do but if it helps us sell our movie, I’m happy to do it.
