Film Production Critical Path

Film production critical path

This critical path diagram captures the main dependencies of a short film production. A locked script enables both casting and location work. Shooting cannot begin until those two preparation paths are complete, and editing then leads directly to master delivery. The diagram is intentionally compact so a producer can discuss the work that controls the delivery date without losing the key parallel preparation. Add permits, rehearsal, sound, color and distribution tasks when they are meaningful project constraints.
