  A production board, stripboard, or production strip is a filmmaking term for a chart displaying color-coded strips of paper, each containing information about a scene in the film's shooting script.

This is done because most films are shot "out of sequence," meaning that they do not necessarily begin with the first scene and end [...] The production board is an essential element of the filmmaking process, because the sequence in which scenes are shot during principal photography normally does not follow their chronological sequence in the script. The sequence usually depends on organizational aspects such as the availability of the cast, crew, and locations, and, in the case of outdoor shots, factors such as the season, weather and light conditions. The production board is the project planning tool used by the unit [...] with the last.

A production board is not to be confused with a stripboard used for electronics prototyping.
