The holy ground is not a meeting place to hang out.
If you want to be in front of the camera, become an actor!
Each crew-member HAS TO BE AWARE of what the camera sees and should stay at all times out of the view of the camera. It’s the 1st AD who makes the crew aware of what the camera sees. Often the 1st AD asks the DP what is seen in the shot and tells the department heads and key crew what needs to be taken out of the shot or placed in the shot. This can be equipment, cars, cables or any other item.
Professional crew knows that the equipment that’s in front of the camera needs to be cleared out.
During the time the DP has the set, the 1st AD gives instructions to the department heads as to what is needed in the set or needs to be removed from the set and makes sure that it happens as soon as possible and in the right order if it’s a complicated or small set. At this point the 1st AD is the traffic controller on set and makes sure that all the necessary items and props are brought to set.
When the DP is almost finished lighting, the 1st AD can ask if 1st Team (the actors and director) can be invited back on set and for the sound guy this is the moment to wire (place microphones) the actors. The DP gives the OK or gives a valid explanation why more time is needed.
It’s also strongly encouraged for the key crew members to watch the monitor before the camera rolls.
VII. On the day of the shoot (3)
1St team has the set
As soon as the actors and director arrive back on set, order restores. Silence and respect is asked from the crew.
2nd team leaves the set and the actors are placed on their marks. The director gives the final brief instructions. And when the director walks over to his chair, the 1st AD calls for “LAST LOOKS”
LAST LOOKS is the final make-up and hair touches right before the 1st take happens. During the last talk of the director, the make-up and hair person hold themselves available close to the actors but out of the view of the camera, The Holy Ground. They can come in for last looks only with the 1st AD’s permission and if the 1st AD by any chance forgets about it, they can ask to come in, but NEVER EVER run in on their own initiative or stand waiting in front of the lens.
When hair and make-up are out of the frame the 1st AD announces “Picture is up!” (ready to shoot). Usually there are no rehearsals needed anymore at this point, unless the director or actors ask for it because all the technical issues have been solved during the blocking rehearsal.
“PICTURE IS UP” is the command for the crew to be silent and go off set, out of the view of the actors but stand-by if there are some emergency adjustments that need to be made in between takes. The crew members who are not working on set are holding the work in order to not disturb the sound while shooting or bring the actors out of concentration.
Never ever can a crew member be in the line of view of the actor or even worse look into their eyes during a take.
Next, the 1st AD announces to roll. Sound and camera confirm they are both rolling and the slate marks the first take of the shot. The director calls for action.
The actors do the 1st take and the director calls CUT, which is repeated by the 1st AD over the radio.
Everybody HAS TO BE SILENT on set and remain in their positions until the director lets the 1st AD know what he wants to do next. Crew members off set continue their work until “PICTURE IS UP” is announces again. Only the 1st AD can allow a crew member to walk in front of the camera, if the actor needs immediate assistance after a take. This can be due to a stunt rig they are placed in or to extreme temperatures or any other uncomfortable situations.
It’s important that the director announces as soon as possible what his next intentions are: if he needs another take, if he’s watching play back, or if he has the shot and the crew can move on to the next shot. If he wants to give instructions to the actors he can walk up to them while everybody else keeps themselves as low profile and quiet as possible.
It creates a very confusing moment when the director stays silent for a long time, because everybody, especially the actors want to know what is going on. It’s the 1st AD who needs to ask the director what he wants or what he or she needs to communicate to the people on set.
