Hello

In a contract to make a short film, the Provider is responsible for

Manus, upplägg, planering etc.

I can't find "upplägg" in a film glossary and although I can see the word on the Internet, I can't be sure what it means

Plot, scenario,storyboard?

Thanks

A translation technique or 'trick': go through the Norwegian - possibly abstract - weasel-word 'equivalent' of opplegg, as in the second weblink, though I have more permutations and combinations in my own SWE-NOR / ENG glossaries. I daren't diversify into any cognate Danish version ...

PS 'scheme' has worked as a translation out of both lingos into Br EN nine times out of ten in a legal, esp. insolvency, context., though 'scheming' might give the wrong impression here.
Note from asker:
Hello Adrian I do that sometimes if the words in Swedish and German, Norwegian etc. are identical and come up in a check but unfortunately, I don't speak any other Germanic language and so I can't use your method easily but thanks for the help
