Zack demonstrates how to assign colors to organize your story on your structure map in your Trello post-production workflow. The structure map is based on the concept that Walter Murch introduced as it pertains to creating individual cards with different colors to help you track your story and restructure your story as necessary.
- [Teacher] When I'm doing a first cut…of a feature or a television series,…I generally try to stick to the script…as much as possible.…Which is why I will first assign colors…to a structure map that are based on my progress.…However, once I've completed a first assembly,…all bets are off.…And I will often do extensive restructuring…to improve the overall flow of sort.…And as you would expect,…Trello is invaluable for this process.…As you can see from looking at the board,…I've gone through and I've pre-labeled…all of our cards as blue,…which means that I have completed my first edit.…
Now that I have gone through…and progressed and finished all…of the first edits of all of my scenes,…so once again,…going back to this hypothetical idea…of having 112 scenes on one board.…Let's say that everything is labeled blue.…Now color should no longer have something…to do with progress.…Now I want colors to apply to my stort.…So what I'm first going to do is duplicate…this board, because I want this version…to stay intact.…And now I want to start experimenting…
