Index Cards

Index cards - What are index cards?

Index cards are what you use after you write the treatment and they allow you to break it up into smaller scenes and allows you to see more clearly the narrative structure.

How did you use them?

I copy and pasted the treatment into these index cards and using sellotape stuck them up on a wall so I could refer to them in a more easy fashion. I had 42 index cards, some vary in detail, some of them carry about 200 words whereas others carry about 20 words.

I found these really helpful because they are small and tell me exactly what to shoot next. I may have to in the future replace or exclude some cards for the reason being they may not be relevant or will overrun the task, which is exactly five minutes.
