Begin by choosing whether to create a Pre-Made Film Production Calendar or a New Calendar. The pre-made option provides you with tasks under default milestones, as well as customizable features like schedules, event markers, and holidays. Alternatively, the new calendar option offers a clean slate with no pre-made tasks, allowing for full customization. You can add any additional elements after setting up the initial calendar.
Fill in Calendar Details
After selecting your desired calendar option, a detailed entry box will appear. Three milestones are already included—Pre-Production, Production, and Post-Production. To add another milestone, click the Add button located at the top right corner of the box. Assign each milestone a specific date range, budget, and estimated budget. You can edit the titles to better fit your project’s needs.
Manage Milestone Tasks
Each milestone contains a list of tasks that can be displayed or hidden. To view these tasks, click the arrow icon to the right of each milestone. This will expand the section, allowing you to review and adjust the date range and budget for each individual task. This feature helps in organizing the tasks effectively under each milestone.
Add or Delete Tasks
At the bottom of your task list, you’ll find an ‘Add’ button that lets you incorporate new tasks into your calendar. If there are tasks you wish to remove, simply click the delete icon next to the task you no longer need. This allows for a flexible and dynamic planning process as you adapt to the project’s evolving needs.
Customize the Schedule
Below your milestone sections, you will find options for setting up your working schedule. Activate the schedule option to customize parameters like working days, start times, and end times. This setup helps ensure that your team’s workload is managed efficiently and aligned with the project’s timelines.
Customize Event Markers
To effectively track important project dates, activate the event marker feature. This allows you to create specific events within your calendar by adding a title and date for each event. Event markers serve as visual cues, helping you and your team stay on track with significant milestones and deadlines.
Customize Holidays
Incorporate holidays into your project plan by checking the holidays box. This feature lets you define non-working days by adding holidays, along with their titles and date ranges. You can also remove any holidays that may not apply to your project. This ensures that all team members are aware of scheduled downtime.
Submit the Calendar
Once you have finalized all the details of your production calendar—including tasks, schedules, event markers, and holidays—click ‘submit’ to complete the creation process. Your newly crafted production calendar will now be available for you and your team to use, providing a structured timeline to guide your project’s successful execution.
