Scheduling & Production

With the script planned, FilmKit's scheduling and production tools turn coverage into a shootable plan: a calendar, shooting days, call sheets, locations, and a budget.

The schedule

The Schedule is a calendar of your shoot. Switch between Day, Week, Month, and List views, move through time with the arrows or Today, and organize work across multiple boards with the board switcher. A sync indicator confirms your changes are saved.

The schedule — every shooting day with its scenes and shot list, in a date-agnostic list view.

Shooting days

Shooting days are the individual days of your shoot. The days table shows each day's index, date, title, location, and event count. Use Add day to create one — FilmKit renumbers automatically — and click any row to edit it.

Shooting days — each day with its date, location, and weather at a glance.

Call sheets

Each shooting day has a call sheet — the document that tells everyone where to be and when. In the call sheet editor you set the name, description, important notes, and time overrides (general call, crew call, lunch, estimated wrap).

Draft and preview

Fill in the call sheet, then Preview a draft PDF — it's watermarked so no one mistakes it for the final.

Publish

Publish the call sheet at a stage of Preliminary or Final. A drift indicator flags when the published version has fallen behind your edits, so you know when to republish.

Send and track

Send distributes it to your contacts, choosing rebroadcast or silent mode. The distribution panel tracks who received it and who has confirmed.

Published call sheets become publications your crew can open and confirm from a secure link — no FilmKit account required.

Locations

Locations are the real-world places you actually shoot — with address details. This is distinct from the Places in your script (the story's fictional settings). A location can be linked to one or more places, so a single building can stand in for several story settings, and your shooting day carries the real address while your breakdown keeps the story name.

Budget

The Budget tool builds and manages your production budget. Start from a built-in template or import a CSV/TSV, then work in the editor:

  • Keep multiple budgets and switch between them, duplicate one, or start a new one.
  • Set a base currency and manage exchange rates for multi-currency productions.
  • See headline totals update as you edit, and compare budget versions.
