Talk:Breaking down the script

What does 1/8 represent?

The second paragraph of this article starts with Each scene, as per slug line, is measured into 1/8's of a page by its number of inches.. So I understand that each separate scene is broken down into units of inches of "1/8" (of 8-Inch Pages). But what I don't understand is what these 1/8 represent. Is a 1/8 a unit of time (scene length, i.e. 1/8 represents one minute or 10 minutes or any other constant length of time) or a unit of used items (i.e. 1/8 represents one actor/prop/etc.) or something else entirely? I think this should be clarified in the article. Funkysapien 00:33, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, scratch this, I got it now. I understand it's the lenth of the scene as printed in the script, i.e. 1/8 is a unit of text lengh, aproximately equaling time. Sorry :) Funkysapien 00:42, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That section needs an illustration. It's very difficult to follow.Indecine 03:41, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
