CONTINUING to set up the LOCATIONS /
SCENES List -
4.
CHANGE THE ORDER OF SCENES
As mentioned before –
For ease of filming, all scenes filmed at the same location,
ideally, should be organized in chronological order,
according to –
-
Day No Month YEAR, if factual
-
story timeline, if fictional
So –
- WITHIN EACH GENERAL HEADING BLOCK -
-
SELECT,, CUT & PASTE Scenes
to
re-organise them into,
this new, chronological Time-Line Order
eg.
___________________________________________________________________________
Val’s
Hotel
2.1.3 Main Bar, Val’s Hotel (INT. DAY or
NIGHT, 18 15
8
YEARS EARLIER) – 1934
2.1 Main
Bar, Val’s Hotel (INT. DAY) – 1942, Early Mar 13 11
2.1.1 The pavement outside Val’s Hotel (EXT.
DAY) 13 12
–

MAJOR LOCATION HEADINGS
-
SELECT, COPY & PASTE,
EACH General Location Heading, in order,
WITH the date of their first scene, by –
For
one -
- SELECT General Heading
- Press CTRL & HOLD
-
Place the Cursor at the beginning of the Date
- PRESS & HOLD LEFT CLICK
- SWIPE THE CURSOR along the text of the Date
This will SELECT only that text
- UNHOLD CTRL
& LEFT CLICK
For more than
one –
- Continue to PRESS & HOLD CTRL
This will add the next Selected line / text
- Repeat as above
and place them at the beginning of the file,
UNDER
the FILE HEADING,
ABOVE
the Page Headings
in what will become the CONTENTS
eg.
Val’s Hotel
– 1934
Townsville Railway Station
- 1942, Late
Feb
An Outback Pub
– 1924 -
1934
The Francis Home
– 1940,
Early Mar
- BACKSPACE
the Dates
- REMOVE
the Underlines
Then the list should look something
like this -
eg.
Val’s
Hotel – 1934
Townsville
Railway Station - 1942,
Late Feb
An
Outback Pub – 1924 -
1934
The Francis Home – 1940, Early Mar
-
Group these, in the same order, under Major Location Headings
eg.
TOWNSVILLE
Val’s
Hotel – 1934
Townsville
Railway Station - 1942, Late Feb
The Francis Home – 1940, Early Mar
OUTBACK
An
Outback Pub – 1924 - 1934
MAJOR LOCATION PERSPECTIVE
I took the perspective, of Townsville
being the central location,
so that other Major Locations were related
by how far away they were from Townsville.
And then, I organised the Major
Locations from furtherest away to nearest -
So –
- Determine your own Major Location perspective
-
Re-organise the Major Location Blocks, in that order
eg.
OUTBACK
An
Outback Pub – 1924 - 1934
TOWNSVILLE
Val’s
Hotel – 1934
Townsville
Railway Station - 1942, Late Feb
The Francis Home – 1940, Early Mar
6.
COUNTRY LOCATIONS
-
Group the Major Locations under Country Location Headings,
if necessary
I have used the Townsville perspective in the order of these also
eg.
AUSTRALIA
& REGION
OUTBACK
An
Outback Pub – 1924 - 1934
TOWNSVILLE
Val’s
Hotel – 1934
Townsville
Railway Station - 1942, Late Feb
The Francis Home – 1940, Early Mar
7.
ORDER OF GENERAL HEADINGS
Time Based Chronology -
As well, for ease of understanding and
filming -
-
UNDER each Major Location Heading,
SELECT, CUT & PASTE the General
Location Headings,
into chronological order,
according to –
-
Day No Month YEAR, if factual
-
story timeline, if fictional
-
Use the date / time-frame
that you have tagged onto the
General Location Heading
eg.
AUSTRALIA

TOWNSVILLE
Val’s
Hotel – 1934
The
Francis Home – 1940,
