Call Sheets


Daily call sheets are imperative to organizing a film shoot. They help your crew and cast to be organized, on time and prepared, and help keep your production on schedule. Essentially, it is your plan for what is going to be shot on any given day.

Step 1)
At the end of your shoot day, create the call sheet for the following day.

Step 2)
Start with basic information, the date, what day of the shoot it is (such as Day 2 of 9) and where the location is. List your crew call time (example 7 a.m.) and the time you expect to begin shooting (example 8:30 a.m.).

Step 3)
Start with the first scene of the day. List the scene number, the numbers of the cast needed for that scene (See How to Breakdown a Script for Film Production Scheduling), and the cast call time.

Step 4)
Complete the above step for each scene to be shot that day.

Step 5)
Include additional crew information toward the bottom of the page, for example extras needed, stand-ins, etc.

Step 6)
Distribute to all cast and crew before they leave the set at the end of the shoot day.

The main aspects of a call sheet are the times and what has to happen each day the main purpose is to save time which saves money.

i have a picture of an example call sheet in my pictures.

The HSE

The HSE represent looking after your business with things such as health and safety.
They say you should follow these steps.
1.Register your new business[1]
Decide whether you need to notify the Health and Safety Executive or your local authority about your business and where necessary, do so.
2.Take out Employer's Liability Compulsory Insurance[2]
Employer's Liability Compulsory Insurance covers you against claims from employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their work.
3.Appoint a competent person [3]
The law says you must appoint a competent person to help you meet your health and safety duties. This does not have to be an external consultant.
4.Write your health and safety policy[4]
Your health and safety policy sets out the arrangements you have put in place for managing health and safety in your business. It is a unique document that says who does what, when and how.
5.Assess the risks[5]
Decide what could harm people and what precautions to take. This is your risk assessment. You must act on the findings of your risk assessment, by putting sensible controls in place to prevent accidents and ill health and making sure they are followed.
6.Provide basic welfare facilities[6]
You must provide a safe and healthy environment for all your employees. This includes toilets, washing facilities and drinking water, and appropriate lighting and temperature.
7.Provide free health and safety training and supervision [7]
Everyone who works for you, including self-employed people, needs to know how to work safely and without risks to health. So you need to train them and supervise their work.
8.Consult your workers [8]
Consultation means discussing health and safety with your workers allowing them to raise concerns and influence decisions.
9.Display the health and safety law poster [9]
This is required by law. The poster includes basic health and safety information and lets people know who is responsible for health and safety in your workplace. Or you can give workers a leaflet.
10.Understand RIDDOR reporting procedures[10]
The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (RIDDOR), require you to report work-related accidents, diseases and near-miss incidents. Make sure you know how to report, even if you never need to.
11.Keep up to date[11]
You can follow the news in your sector through e-bulletins, news feeds, podcasts and texts to your mobile.
