In recent times many talented and hardworking directors, assistant directors, artists, movie and tele-drama crews have attempted to breathe a new life to the industry. Even though watching movies and teledramas gives entertainment for the audience, making a production is not as easy as watching ysed through interviews with domain experts and existing literature. Findings were further validated through observations on set and questionnaires distributed among artists, assistant directors and production managers. The results indicated the necessity of an IT solution for effective shoot scheduling considering most of the relying factors. Therefore, considering the identified factors, the web application ‘Calendario’ has been designed and developed to perform film and teledrama shoot scheduling. Calendario makes the assistant director’s task easier while providing necessary schedules to the other related parties.The solution was evaluated by domain and IT experts, to verify the success of the project.
