Tag elements in the Scene Breakdown
Open any scene to tag cast, props, vehicles, and 21 element categories against the script text.
The Scene Breakdown page
Click any scene to open its breakdown. The script text is displayed alongside the scene's details, so you can tag elements directly by highlighting the words on the page.
Edit scene facts like INT./EXT., Time of Day, Page Length, Script Day, and Synopsis. You can also split a scene, duplicate it, or compare and restore script revisions.
Element categories
Shamel tracks 21 element categories, including Cast, Background Actors, Sets, Locations, Stunts, Props, Wardrobe, Vehicles, Special Effects, and three custom categories you can rename to fit your production.
Managing element lists
The Elements pages (in the schedule's top navigation) show every element by category. From there you can merge duplicates, renumber IDs, and spot red flags for conflicts.
