Budget Breakdown
Allocate funds across four department categories: Above the Line, Production, Post-Production, and Other. A visual bar chart fills as you allocate, turning amber at 90% and red when over budget.
Shooting Schedule
Set pre-production weeks, shooting days, and post-production weeks. Add named phases with day counts and types. Total shoot hours calculate from hours-per-day settings.
Locations & Permits
Track each shooting location with daily fees, permit costs, travel expenses, and status. Location costs feed directly into Cash Flow and trigger Dashboard warnings when exceeding 15% of budget.
