Ask an AD or a script supervisor.

Hi all,

I'm in the process of "lining" a script for one of my clients. Basically going through and highlighting the various elements (cast, props, etc.) with different colors. I was wondering if anyone knows if there are "standard" colors that are used when doing this? If so, what are they?

Came across thiese web pages a while back about script breakdown:

Script Breakdown

Script Breakdown 2

Hope it helps...

red - cast speaking parts
green - atmosphere extras
yellow - silent bit
orange - stunts
blue - special fx
violet - props
pink - vehicles/animals
brown - sound fx


These may help, but honestly, theres no *standard*. 5 different sources will give 5 different color schemes, in my opinion.
