  • The Assistant Directors Main Duties Are Assisting the Director, Coordinating All Production Activity, and Supervising the Cast and Crew
    The Assistant Directors main duties are assisting the Director, coordinating all production activity, and supervising the cast and crew. They are also in charge of a department of other Assistant Directors and Runners. Overall, they provide the link between the Director, cast and crew, while also liaising with the production office, and providing regular progress reports about the shoot. Before the shoot, theAD’S main task is to create the filming schedule, working in careful consultation with the Director. When drawing up the shooting schedule, ADS must also be aware of the budget, cast availability and script coverage. Preparing the storyboard, overseeing the hiring of locations, props and equipment and checking weather reports are all key pre-production duties for ADS. During production, they must ensure that everyone is on standby and ready for the Director's cue for action. The ADs' main responsibility is to keep filming on schedule by driving it forward, so they make announcements and give directions to co-ordinate the cast and crew. They also control discipline on the set, supervise the other Assistant Directors and oversee the preparation of the daily 'call sheet' (a document with daily shooting logistics, distributed to all cast and crew). ADS are also responsible for health and safety on set or location, and must take action to eliminate or minimize hazards. The A.D.’s role on a major feature film is a big, big job, suited for someone unafraid and able to multitask. Here are 5 basic things the AD does: 1.

  • So You Want a Job in Film and Television? There Are Huge Numbers of Young People Competing for Very Few Jobs. It Is Difficult To
    So you want a job in film and television? There are huge numbers of young people competing for very few jobs. It is difficult to stress exactly how competitive film and television work is, but a good guide is that 9 out of 10 actors are out of work at any given time. Up until recently you had to be a member of the actor’s union Equity to get a professional acting job– and you were allowed an Equity Card only after you had worked professionally for some time. Thankfully this catch 22 situation no longer exists, although the film and television industry remains a very closed shop to all but the most dedicated and well connected. Only 6% of actors earn more than £30,000 per year. A recent survey found that nearly half of those working in the UK film and television industry earned less than £6,000 a year from the profession. Many actors and film makers work for very little, especially at the beginning of their careers. Most jobs are short term. Many experienced actors and film makers need to do other work to supplement their income. If you are you still interested in film and television work after reading the above information, then you clearly have the strong commitment necessary to begin a career in film and TV. However, commitment on its own is not enough. How can I get a career in film and television? You need specific training and experience in film and TV. Most of the careers below require formal training, usually in the form of academic courses.

  • Production Job Descriptions
    New Mexico State Film Office / 2017 Industry Job Descriptions ABOVE-THE-LINE and BELOW-THE-LINE “Above-the-line” (ATL) is an industry term derived from where the money is budgeted for Writers, Directors, Producers and Principal Talent. This term refers to job positions that are associated with the creative and/or financial control of a film or multimedia project, not the technical aspects. “Below-the- line” (BTL) is an industry term associated with the “fixed” costs. Examples include studio fees, equipment rental, travel costs and crew rates. Therefore, BTL crew refers to the technical crew hired for the length of the production, often paid hourly or weekly for that time period. These individuals do not have primary creative or financial control of the project, nor do they receive residuals. BTL DEPARTMENT HIERARCHY Starting at the top, the Director hires the Production Designer and the Director of Photography (DP) while the Producer hires the Line Producer and/or Unit Production Manger (UPM). The Production Designer, DP and the Line Producer/UPM then go about hiring their Department Heads, Supervisors and Keys. The Key is considered the top-ranked technical, BTL position in a department. In some departments, the Key is referred to as a Coordinator; in locations, it is the Manager and in camera, it is the Operator. The Key hires the “Best Boy” (or a Foreman) who is second-in-command, acts as an operations manager and hires the rest of the crew in their department. There is only one person hired in the Key and Best position in each department in a regional location (such a New Mexico).

  • Chapter 5 - Hierarchy of a Production – Quiz
    Chapter 5 - Hierarchy Of A Production – Quiz Ramiro Hernandez Moya 1. Spend some time researching exactly what it is an AD does. What are their responsibilities, why are they so vital to a production? Then write a 2 page paper on the duties of an Assistant Director. The First Assistant Director (AD) is the director's right hand person, taking responsibility for a number of important practicalities so that the director is free to concentrate on the creative process. During pre-production, First ADs break down the script into a shot by shot storyboard, and work with the director to determine the shoot order, and how long each scene will take to film. They then draw up the overall shooting schedule (a timetable for the filming period). Once the film is in production, Firsts are in charge of making sure that every aspect of the shoot keeps to this schedule. Responsibilities: First ADs' main duties are assisting the director, coordinating all production activity, and supervising the cast and crew. They are also in charge of a department of other assistant directors and runners. Overall, they provide the key link between the director, the cast and the crew, while also liaising with the production office, and providing regular progress reports about the shoot. Before the shoot, the Firsts' main task is to create the filming schedule, working in careful consultation with the director in order to fulfill his or her creative ambitions.
