SCRIPT BREAKDOWN

SCRIPT BREAKDOWN – Full Film ke Liye Step-by-Step :


Ye filmmaking ka sabse important technical step hai jisme har scene ko departments ke hisaab se tod kar planning ki jaati hai — jisse shoot smooth ho, koi bhi cheez miss na ho.

1. Script Ko Scene-by-Scene Divide Karo

Sabse pehle aapke paas lock ki hui script honi chahiye (final draft).
Har scene ko number do:

  • Scene 1 – Hospital interior, Day
  • Scene 2 – Kabir’s Room, Night
  • Scene 3 – Engineering college gate, Day
    ...

2. Har Scene Ka Breakdown Sheet Banao

Har scene ke liye ek table ya sheet banai jaati hai. Sample format:

Scene No. Location Time Characters Costume Props Action Note Special Req.
1 Hospital INT Day Reem, Doctor Patient Wheelchair, File Reem cries, faints Oxygen cylinder needed
2 Room INT Night Kabir Casual Laptop, Photo Kabir thinking alone Candle light effect
3 College EXT Day Kabir, Reem, Crowd College Poster, Bag Entry shot JCB, Crane for crowd

3. Departments Wise Breakdown:

a.  Camera & DOP

  • Scene me day/night hai?
  • Location INT/EXT?
  • Dolly, crane, Steadicam chahiye?
  • Mood: Romantic? Intense? Slow-mo?

b.  Costume

  • Har scene me actor ka kaunsa look hoga?
  • Dirty look ya clean look?
  • Nightwear ya event dress?

c.  Props & Set Design

  • Scene me kaunse physical items chahiye?
  • Bed, gun, tea cup, photo frame?
  • Set ka mood: modern, middle class, rustic?

d. Cast & Crowd

  • Main actors kaun hain is scene me?
  • Kya background crowd chahiye?
  • Kya junior artists chahiye (nurse, waiter, etc.)

e.  Makeup & Hair

  • Injury look hai?
  • Wedding makeup chahiye?
  • Old age transformation?

f.  Sound Design

  • Scene me dialogue kitne logon ke?
  • Background sound important hai? (rain, traffic, silence)
  • Koi music cue chahiye is scene ke time?

4. Continuity & Timeline Track Karo

  • Scene ka timeline day 1 hai ya day 5?
  • Pehle wala scene me actor ne kya pehna tha?
  • Scene me koi continuity prop tha kya?

 Example: Agar Scene 4 me Kabir ne white shirt pehni hai aur Scene 5 usi din ka continuation hai, toh usme bhi white shirt honi chahiye.

5. Breakdowns Ek Software ya Excel Sheet Me Save Karo

Professional DOPs aur AD team Final Draft, Movie Magic, Celtx, ya Excel me poora breakdown maintain karte hain.
Har department ka apna copy hota hai jisse:

  • Costume department ko pata rehta hai kis din kya ready hona chahiye
  • Props team ko list mil jaata hai advance me
  • Assistant Director ko shoot day planning easy ho jaata hai

Bollywood Ka Safar: 1913 se 1930 (Ek Swarnim Shuruaat) Written by Ayaan Kabir  Pehla Kadam – 1913: Raja Harishchandra Release Date : 3 May 1913 Director : Dadasaheb Phalke (Father of Indian Cinema) Type : Silent Film (No sound, only visuals) Duration : Approx 40 minutes Actors : All male cast (kyunki uss samay mahila kalakar nahi milte the) Special Note : Raja Harishchandra ko hi India ki pehli film maana jata hai. Interesting Fact : Dadasaheb Phalke ne khud hi script likhi, direction kiya, camera operate kiya aur editing bhi ki! Uss samay koi studio nahi tha, unhone apne ghar me film banayi thi. Film Industry Ka Mahaul (1913-1930) Sound Technology nahi thi : Sabhi filmein "Silent" thi. Background me live music bajaya jata tha. Black & White Cinema : Color film ka concept bhi nahi tha. Theater me film dekhna nayi cheez thi : Log ajeeb nazar se dekhte the, kuch log toh film ko 'bhoot ka jaadu' samajhte the. Mahila kalakaar nahi th...

असली हीरो वही है जो समय को पहचानता है

"Waqt ko izzat do, Waqt tumhe izzat dega" (लेखक: अयान कबीर)  असली हीरो वही है जो समय को पहचानता है Dosto, इस दुनिया में सबसे कीमती चीज़ अगर कोई है, तो वो है — “Waqt” (Time) Paisa chala jaye, wapas aa sakta hai... Rishta toot jaye, जुड़ सकता है... लेकिन Waqt चला गया, तो कभी वापस नहीं आता। जो इंसान वक़्त को सीरियस लेता है, दुनिया उसी को सीरियस लेती है। बाकी के नाम... "sarkari bathroom" की दीवारों पर रह जाते हैं।  तुम लड़की को TIME पे मिल सकते हो, तो ख्वाब को क्यों नहीं? Ek line yaad रखो: "Jisko chahta ho, uske लिए waqt निकाल ही लेते हो।" Girlfriend ne bola “4 baje milna”, Tum 3:30 baje ready ho jaate ho, koi kuch kaam बोले toh mana kar dete ho... क्यों? क्योंकि प्यार करते हो। अब खुद से पूछो — क्या तुम्हें अपने सपनों से भी उतना ही प्यार है? अगर हां, तो TIME दो उस सपने को भी। वरना सपने देखना छोड़ दो, सिर्फ Instagram Reels pe “Motivational Video” dekhte रहो।  सपनों को TIME दो, सिर्फ बातें मत बनाओ सपनों को वक़...

हिंदू बनाम मुस्लिम

हिंदू-मुस्लिम: हम थे, हम हैं, और हमेशा भाई-भाई रहेंगे लेखक: अयान कबीर आजकल देश में हिंदू-मुस्लिम को एक-दूसरे का दुश्मन बनाकर पेश किया जा रहा है — कभी भाषा को ले कर तो कभी लाउडस्पीकर को लेकर, कभी मंदिर की घंटी, तो कभी अज़ान को लेकर। लेकिन मैं आप सबसे एक सच्ची बात कहना चाहता हूँ — हिंदू और मुस्लिम कभी दुश्मन नहीं थे। हम भाई थे, भाई हैं... और हमेशा भाई ही रहेंगे। दुश्मनी अगर किसी की है, तो वो उन लोगों की है जो खुद को भगवान राम का भक्त या अल्लाह का इबादतगुज़ार कहते हैं, लेकिन असल में ना राम को जानते हैं, ना इस्लाम को समझते हैं। शोर धर्म का नहीं, स्वार्थ का है इन लोगों को अज़ान से दिक्कत है क्योंकि उनकी पार्टी रातभर चलती है, सुबह नींद में खलल पड़ता है। घंटी की आवाज़ से इसलिए दिक्कत है क्योंकि गर्लफ्रेंड की आवाज़ मोबाइल में साफ़ नहीं सुनाई देती। मतलब साफ़ है — इनका धर्म से कोई लेना-देना नहीं है। इनका मकसद सिर्फ धर्म के नाम पर नफरत फैलाना और सत्ता में बने रहना है। इनके घरों में आवाज़ नहीं जाती, पर नफरत दूर-दूर तक फैलती है हकीकत ये है कि इन लोगों के घर ऐसे ...

MANAB JOURNEY

MANAB JOURNEY   Written by Ayaan Kabir Chapter 1: Janm – Jab Mitti Mein Hila Ek Sararat Kayi hazaar saal pehle, na koi sheher tha, na mobile, na paisa, na machine, na daadhi banane ki razor. Bas ek jangli dharti thi — har taraf ped-paudhe, pahaad, dariya, aur jangli janwar. Aur wahin se shuru hua insaan ka safar. Pehla insaan kaisa bana? Science ke mutabik, yeh sab evolution ke zariye hua. Crores saal pehle, paani mein chhoti si jeevanu (bacteria) ne apni roop badla — dhire dhire woh macchhi jaisi, fir land pe aayi, fir ban gayi monkey-type creature, jise hum kehte hain "homo habilis". Aur usi se ban gaya "Homo Sapiens" — aaj ka modern insaan. Lekin pehla insaan ekdum akela tha. Usko kuch nahi pata tha — na kapde, na bhasha, na tools. Sirf survival. Har waqt yeh darr rehta tha — aaj zinda rah paunga ya nahi? Pehle dinon ka jivan Insaan jungle mein rehta tha. Ped ke patton se apna sharir dhak leta. Raat mein kisi gufa mein chup jaata, taaki sher ya bhalu...
