Add Location Descriptions to Celtx Project Library

Video Transcript

DREW NOAH: So continuing with the Project Library, now I'm going to show you another useful item you can add, and what I'm going to show you is a Location description or details. Of course, to add this, it's going to be the same way. Click the Add button, I get a little pop-up. Click Location and then you can write name and choose a folder. But just to show you, I'm going to pick one that's already on this example. And this is basically you take a location in your script and this is like from a production standpoint. You pick out where they're going to shoot that location. And this is all the information about where they're going to shoot a particular location in the script, and especially if you're going forward with the production, it's a very important thing to add. So here's the location, Old Factory/Emerald City. And then we've got a description of the actual physical location. It's an old tobacco factory. And then over here, you can add some media. They've got a picture of it and a map to it. So you got your address and even a link. You can link to the map right here. And then below that, you have the Scouting and Selection. So you've got scouted for scenes and then you've got the scene that is in, and they've even got this cool little Picklist right here so you can add all the scenes that this location is at. Any scenes that are taken straight from your screenplay, you've written in Celtx. And then you've got selected for scenes. So you can choose between scouted for certain scenes or selected for scenes, and it works the same way. It's got a Picklist right here. Again, I can minimize this if I want. Then you've got the Contact Information of the location, probably very important to fill this out especially if you're collaborating in your Celtx project, maybe one person grabs his contact information and puts it right here and then everybody could see it. And then you've got some actual information about the physical location, dates available, square footage. Is there an elevator? The rental cost, very important. Power Capabilities, another important thing, Light Sources, Noise Issues, Washroom Locations, Parking Information and just basic Comments. So you can see, maybe some things that you didn't even think about like noise issues. They already got all these things written out for--if maybe you're new to production, you wouldn't think to think about light sources or noise issues or parking information. And Celtx has all these useful things kind of in these little boxes so you know that this is important and you can figure this out and fill this out. And if you are experienced in production, you know that these are important and they're just all right here in a convenient location. So that's how you add a--it's called a Location Profile or a description of a physical location that is a location in your screenplay. So that's the Location Profile item that you can add to your Project Library.
