Before principal photography (feature films and TV):
➔ Break down the script
        • Divide the scenes.
        • Decide how many eighths of pages each                  scene covers.
        • Decide which "script day" each scene takes            place on.
        • Decide on a time of day for each scene.
        • Count the total scenes and pages.
➔ Other breakdowns as needed (flashback timelines, progression of injuries, etc.) Provide a
"One Line" synopsis of this info.
➔ Time the entire script (optional, and for an additional fee).
➔ Attend the production meetings.
➔ Prepare master forms and make copies.

➔ Assemble my kit
Every morning:
➔ Prepare the script pages to be shot that day.
➔ Prepare all logs and reports with today's date, and previously shot information.
➔ Put away all notes from yesterday's work.
➔ Record the time of the first shot.
Every shot:
➔ Time and make notes on rehearsals.
➔ Determine what scene number will go on the slate, and inform the Camera and Sound
Departments.
➔ Write scene number, camera/sound rolls, scene description for each setup.
      • Enter take number.
      • Time length of take.
      • Jot down condition of take: complete, NG               sound, NG camera, incomplete, etc.
      • Circle the takes the Director likes.
➔ Inform Camera and Sound of circled takes.
➔ Transcribe information from circled takes to your logs and reports.
➔ Repeat until lunch time!
Lunch time:
➔ Record what time the 1st A.D. calls lunch.
➔ Hand in lunch report to 2nd A.D.
       • Scenes scheduled, scenes covered, scenes           partially covered, scenes not shot.
       • Number of setups shot.
       • Minutes shot.
       • Pages scheduled, covered, partially covered,          not shot.
       • Time lunch was called.
➔ Eat lunch.
➔ Record the time of the first shot after lunch.
At end of day:
➔ Record time 1st A.D. calls wrap.
➔ Confer with camera and sound departments to ensure they have all circle take information.
➔ Wrap up all of my report information:
       • Number of film and sound rolls used today.
       • Number of setups, scenes, minutes and                pages shot.
      • Add to previous numbers for new totals                   completed.
      • Subtract total scenes and pages from script           total for amount left to do.
      • Transfer totals to tomorrow's paperwork as             "previous total."
➔ (optional) Make copies of the day's work. (*NOTE: if there is no copier on set, Production
gets the originals. They make whatever copies needed, then return the originals to me at
call the next morning.)
➔ Hand in all of the day's notes, logs and reports to ADs.
➔ Look at call sheet to determine what time to get up tomorrow.
This is not an exhaustive list, but here is what I do every day of production.
