拍摄天数计算器

几秒钟估出你的拍摄日

填入剧本页数和你实际在做的制作规模,就能得到一份站得住脚的拍摄日、机动天数和周数估算。为在拍摄进度板还没做出来之前就要做规划的制片、执行副导演和独立电影人而造。

行业按每天多少页来排计划:制片厂长片平均每天 2 到 3 页,专业独立制作 3 到 5 页,低成本剧组 4 到 6 页,微成本制作靠简化覆盖常常超过 6 页。动作、夜戏和转场都会拖慢这个速率,而复杂度设置模拟的正是这些。

工作原理

计算器先用你的页数除以所选制作规模的每天页数基准,再根据动作复杂度、夜戏和转场调整这个速率。机动天数按每 5 个拍摄日加 1 天缓冲计算,这是常见的下限。结果是一份规划性的估算,不是拍摄进度板:真正的计划仍然要一场戏一场戏地做,但这个数字告诉你该先和预算谈哪件事。

拍一部电影要多少天?

核心的规划单位是每天多少页。一部 90 页的长片,按低成本节奏每天 5 页算,大约需要 18 个拍摄日;同一个剧本放进制片厂式的计划、每天 2.5 页,就需要 36 天。哪个数字都不算对或错,它们描述的是每场戏不同的覆盖量、布光时间和转场次数。

复杂度比才华更能改变估算。夜戏会带来休息间隔和更慢的布光。剧组在场景之间每转一次场就烧掉半天。特技、视效素材和动作设计都会成倍增加机位。两个页数相同的剧本,需要的计划可能相差几周。

机动天数不是虚胖,它决定了一场雨是只损失一天,还是一路连累到演员的档期。专业制作里常见的下限是每 5 个拍摄日配 1 天缓冲,而那些省掉它的剧组,往往就是后来最后悔的那些。

适合谁

  • 制片 在敲定档期之前,先确认提出的预算是不是真的覆盖得住剧本需要的天数。
  • 执行副导演 在动手做逐场的详细进度板之前,先把关于计划的对话框住。
  • 电影专业学生和第一次拍片的人 在向剧组承诺「就一个周末」之前,先搞清楚为什么 10 页的短片拍不完一天。

Shooting Schedule Calculator: the complete guide

It converts your script's page count into estimated shoot days, contingency days, and calendar weeks, adjusted for how your specific production actually moves through pages.

For this workflow, the central problem is clear: shoot day estimates are usually guessed from page count alone, ignoring production tier, action complexity, night work, and company moves. Left unresolved, this creates downstream friction and slower decisions. The practical target is a defensible shoot day and calendar estimate you can bring to budget conversations, crew planning, and location booking.

Limitation to keep in mind: It cannot read your script's individual scenes, so treat the output as a planning baseline: a stunt-heavy day or a child actor's restricted hours can still reshape a real schedule.

Advanced workflow: Experienced ADs run the calculator per act or per location group, then compare the aggregate against a full scene-by-scene stripboard to catch where the average hides an expensive day.

Step-by-Step Workflow

  1. Enter your script's page count from a standard-format PDF, not an estimate from a word processor.
  2. Pick the production tier that matches your crew size and equipment, not the one you aspire to.
  3. Set the complexity sliders honestly: action, night work, and location moves each eat shooting hours.
  4. Compare the 5-day and 6-day week projections against your cast and location availability windows.

Use Cases By Profile

  • Producer: sanity-check whether the proposed budget actually covers the days this script needs.
  • First AD: get a starting frame before building the detailed stripboard in scheduling software.
  • Film student: understand why a 10-page short is not a one-day shoot before promising a crew a weekend.

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Using studio pages-per-day rates for a micro-budget crew that moves much faster with less coverage.
  • Ignoring night shoots, which slow every department and force turnaround gaps into the calendar.
  • Skipping contingency days and discovering the buffer was needed on the first weather delay.

Professional Best Practices

  • Schedule your hardest material early in the week, never on day one or after a company move.
  • One contingency day per five shoot days is the common floor, not a luxury.
  • If the calculator says more weeks than your budget allows, cut locations before cutting scenes.

Treat this tool output as a decision support layer, not a replacement for authorship. Great scripts are remembered for specific choices, emotional precision, and clarity of dramatic movement. Tools help by removing noise so your energy can go where it matters: character, conflict, escalation, and payoff. If you review outcomes after each pass and keep an explicit log of accepted changes, your workflow becomes faster and more predictable from draft to draft. That consistency is exactly what professional collaborators value: fewer surprises, clearer rationale, and a script that evolves with intent.

Extended FAQ

How many pages can a film crew shoot per day?

Studio features average 2 to 3 pages per day, professional indies 3 to 5, low-budget shoots 4 to 6, and micro-budget or student productions often push 6 to 8 by simplifying coverage. Complexity moves these numbers more than crew talent does.

How many shoot days does a 90-page script need?

At a typical low-budget pace of 5 pages per day, a 90-page feature needs about 18 shoot days, plus 3 to 4 contingency days. A studio production shooting 2.5 pages per day would need 36 or more.

What slows a shooting schedule down the most?

Company moves between locations, night shoots with their mandatory turnarounds, and action or VFX-heavy scenes that need many setups. Each factor compounds the others.

Should I plan 5-day or 6-day shooting weeks?

Five-day weeks are standard for union and professional shoots. Six-day weeks are common on low-budget productions but increase fatigue risk, so most experienced producers cap them at two or three consecutive weeks.

How accurate is a pages-per-day estimate?

It is a planning baseline, reliable for budgeting conversations and initial calendars. A real schedule still needs a scene-by-scene stripboard, since one stunt day or restricted actor availability can reshape a week.

What is a contingency day in a film schedule?

A buffer day held in reserve for weather, illness, equipment failure, or scenes that ran over. The common rule of thumb is one contingency day per five scheduled shoot days.

FAQ

常见问题

制片厂长片平均每天 2 到 3 页,专业独立制作 3 到 5 页,低成本剧组 4 到 6 页,微成本或学生作品靠简化覆盖常能到 6 到 8 页。夜戏和特技之类的复杂度因素,会拉低每一档的速率。

按每天 5 页算,大约 18 个拍摄日再加 3 到 4 天机动。放进制片厂式每天 2.5 页的计划,就是 36 天以上。制作规模比页数本身更关键。

为天气、生病、器材故障或超时的戏预留的天数。常见的经验法则是每 5 个计划拍摄日配 1 天机动。

五天工作周是专业标准。六天在低成本项目里很常见,但会加重疲劳和安全风险,所以有经验的制片不会让它连续超过几周。

它是基于标准每天页数惯例搭出来的规划基准,用于预算讨论和初步日历是可靠的。最终计划仍然需要逐场拆解,因为一个特技日或一位档期受限的演员,就能把一整周的安排重画一遍。
