}Evidence claims
- [sourced_fact] A script breakdown is an analysis of a screenplay in which all production elements are reduced into lists. · locator: Lead source
- [sourced_fact] The article lists wardrobe, make-up and hair, special equipment and cameras among elements, alongside cast, extras, props, special effects, stunts, wranglers, picture cars, ADR, Foley and music. · locator: Elements section source
- [sourced_fact] The article says breakdown results feed strips that organize the production schedule on a physical production board. · locator: Production board paragraph source
- [upstream_claim] The article asserts that the film industry has a standard for color-coding (for example cast red, stunts orange, extras yellow/green, special effects blue, props purple); it cites handbooks and non-primary sources. · locator: Color coding section source
- [sourced_fact] Text of the page is available under CC BY-SA 4.0 (additional terms may apply). · locator: Page footer source
- [inference] The color scheme is marking colors for script elements; it is not the same layer as strip colors on a stripboard, which MMS documents as user-assigned. · locator: Color coding section source
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
