Word of the Day: Daily call sheet

Categories:  Daily Advice

InstantCast Word of the DayDAILY CALL SHEET – The daily call sheet is a filmmaking term for a sheet of paper issued to the cast and crew of a film production. Created by an assistant director, the call sheet informs them where and when they should meet for a particular day of shooting.

Call sheets also include other useful information such as contact information (i.e. phone numbers of crew members and other contacts), the schedule for the day, which scenes and script pages are being shot, and the address of the shoot location. Additionally, call sheets may contain information about cast transportation arrangements, parking instructions and safety notes.

    Thanks Alisha, I did not know that. Now I will know what that means the next time I hear it.

    I enjoy these “Word of the Day” terms. They are helping me to be aware of terms I may hear from a casting director and, if so, I will know the meaning of the term.
