Movie Making Manual/Call Sheet

Call sheets give the broad and essential details of a day's shooting. Typically, you would send a call sheet out to every member of the cast and crew as early as possible. During production, this usually means the night before! What a Call Sheet contains Project title Date Day out of days (e.g. "day 3 of a 5 day shoot") Location(s) for the day Parking details Contact details for (at least) the principal members of the crew (e.g. Producer, Production Manager, 1st AD, Location Manager) Recommended clothing (e.g. "wear black" or "wear full waterproofing") Scenes to be shot for the day Broad schedule (the call sheet doesn't usually include the shot-by-shot schedule) Call times Makeup and wardrobe times Scenes Travel Breaks Estimated wrap time Weather forecast Details of the local hospital Details of the local police Equipment details Hire company details
