Few Stats to Go By

So i've finished the sorting of the winter shoot for Roanoke The Lost Colony, in all fairness i really didn't have that much to go i'm just a teror to myself and like to stop before finishing the final hurdle. It's pretty much as expected and i've come up with a through stats below, some of which i'll go into more detail after the list:

Total Length: 86 pages (word version)
Length to Go: 47 pages and 1/8: aprox: 54%
Scenes: 78
Settings: 16
Locations: 8 - 12
Charecters to cast: 25
Extras Needed: 100+

Generally scripts are devided into their pages by 1/8th's, this helps producers colour code different areas that are needed for hair make up etc. A small scene is 1/8th long and generally (for roanoke anyway) constitutes 1 shot, and for 2/8 and 3/8 likewise. This is not a set rule however. As expected we have 50% of the script to and alot of 1/8 scenes that make up the 78. The charecters to cast are very small and may be extra extras on the day, but larger importance charecters such as Older John Smith etc will be cast within the next few weeks.

With shooting still a month or so away things seem to be picking up now as we begin to scout out the locations (rece tomorow), find the props (meeting yesterday) and search for the cast.....
