Breaking down the script

Alright kiddo, imagine you have a story you want to tell like a bedtime story. But instead of telling it out loud, you write it down on a paper. This paper is called a script.

Now, you might want to share your story with others and turn it into a movie or a play. But before that, you need to make sure everyone working on the project understands what is happening in the story. That's where "breaking down the script" comes in.

Breaking down the script means going through every single little detail in the script and figuring out how to make it work in real life. You need to know what every character is doing, what they are saying, where they are going, and what props or special effects they might need to make the story come alive.

People who work on movies or plays, like actors, directors, and designers, use this process to figure out what needs to happen on set or on stage. They might also use it to figure out what kind of resources they need, like money, time, or equipment.

So, breaking down the script is like taking apart a puzzle and figuring out how to put it back together in real life. It's a way to make sure everyone involved in the project understands the story and knows what they need to do to make it happen.
