Production strip

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A traditional production board is a cardboard or wooden chart holding colour-coded strips of paper, each containing information about a scene in the script. A modern version will probably be printed using computer software.

The colour-coded production board strips follow a convention (according to Singleton):

Description Strip Colour
Day Interior white
Day Exterior yellow
Night Interior blue
Night Exterior green
Day Separator black
Week Separator orange
Free Day grey
Holiday red
