    A movie is being made.

    • Actors can learn in private.

    • Scenes must be rehearsed and shot with full cast and props.

    • To get 1 hour of raw stock (a 1 hour shoot), some actors will actually take 2 hours because of mistakes (eg. Tim).

    • To get ready for one hour shoot actors take different amounts of rehearsal (eg. Betty takes 4 hours to rehearse for 1 hour of shooting while Tim takes only 2 hours).

    Resource Availability Learn Rehearse Shoot (1 hr)
    Actor (John) 2 hr/day 4 hours 2 hours 1 hour
    Actor (Betty) 5 hr/day 4 hours 4 hours 2 hours
    Actor (Tim) 3 hr/day 6 hours 2 hours 2 hours
    Camera 2 hr/day Note: The camera is only available 3 out of 5 days.
    Trumpet 1 hr/day - Betty must rehearse with trumpet. -

    Scene Duration Characters
    Scene 1 2 hours John, Tim
    Scene 2 1 hour John, Betty, Trumpet

    The actors must learn their part => when the actors can rehearse their part => then the shoot may happen.
