One-Liner Schedule

aka Oneliner · One liner

A compact summary of the shoot — one line per scene — with scene number, location, INT/EXT, DAY/NIGHT, page count, cast list, and short description.

A one-liner (or oneliner) is the leaner cousin of the stripboard. Each row covers one scene with the bare minimum the production office needs to plan: scene number, INT/EXT, DAY/NIGHT, location, eighths of a page, cast IDs, and a short description. Producers send one-liners to financiers and bond companies. Department heads use them to plan dress days, equipment hires, and cast holds. In StoryboardCanvas, the one-liner is a one-click export from the schedule with optional cast-hold density and budget-line counts.
