Pre-Production: Shoot Schedule, Call Sheets & Risk Assessments
As Producer it is my job to create a shoot schedule to ensure that all of the scenes are filmed in a logistic manner and that we keep to certain times. It's also important to schedule in enough breaks for the actors as well as giving us time to re-set the cameras into new positions for the scenes.
Putting together the schedule was quite challenging as there was lots of things to consider within the locations such as where will actors who are not currently being filmed go and where will be best to set up cameras and at what time. I spent a solid day organising and reorganising the schedule until it was deemed the best it could be by the other people in the group. I have tried to keep the days fairly consistent as the shoot mainly takes place in one location. On the days that we are shooting outside of other locations, I have had to ensure there are plenty of breaks for our actors to go inside into the warm so that they don't get too cold. As we are filming in February it will most definitely be cold!
I have ensured within the schedule to leave enough time either side of shooting each scene so that if we run over, we will still have enough time to complete the day's tasks. As Producer it is my job to make sure that we stick to time as much as possible because as our location is a working home, it is likely that people will be returning to it at a scheduled time, which means we need to have wrapped filming by that time.
The schedule is in the Pre-Production Book which will give a clearer understanding of exact times and locations.
It is also my job as Producer to create call sheets for our cast so that they know what scenes they are shooting on each day and also what they need to bring. The call sheets also allow them to have our contact details in case they get lost, and will also provide them with the exact address of each location and whether there is parking available. These call sheets also tell our cast where they will be picked up from if they are not able to drive to the location and our runner will pick them up from a local station at a designated time.
These call sheets can be found in the Pre-Production Book.
I am also responsible for creating risk assessments for each location that we shoot at for the duration of creating Young & Famous. These assessments need to be as detailed to all the probable risks as possible to ensure that we are fully prepared and covered when it comes to the shoot day. Once on set I will make sure that all health and safety requirements are adhered to in order to reduce any risks and will use the risk assessment as a checklist to ensure I have made sure to check that all the procedures are in place for all the risks presented there.
I have done location recce's of all the places we will be shooting at and have made sure that all risks that were presented to me were noted down with a solution to reducing them.
These risk assessments can be found in our Pre-Production Book.
