Group: Call Sheet & Risk Assessment

Call Sheet
  • A call sheet is usually used in all types of filming or film making to inform cast and crew where to be for shooting and involve a small amount of detail of the filming process. A call sheet also includes contact information for both cast and crew scheduled to be filming, information about shot types (movemtn, framing and angles) and any techincal notes important to the image. Basically a call sheet includes everything the crew and cast need to know about a days shooting arrangements.

  • On our call sheet we have included:
    • The general location of shoot
    • The shot number on storyboard
    • The type of shot (ECU, CU, establishing shot etc.)
    • Who from the cast is going to be involved, in our case we only had ourselves as cast members.
    • Techincal notes- Camera movement, sound, mise-en-scĂ©ne.
    • We also had a list of any props that would be needed
    • Crew needed for the shoot would be listed
    • Contact details.

Risk Assessment
  • In filming the director(s) have to consider any possible risks that could occur at any of the location shoot and must outline or find someone to reduce this risk or to prevent it all together to prevent harm to cast, to crew, or to any expensive filming equipment.

  • Our risk assessment sheet includes:
    • The location or description of the shoot
    • What the actual hazard is (however insignificant it seems) eg. slippery muddy ground
    • Who or what is likely to receive harm and why
    • possible steps to minimise the risk, eg. provide some suitable footwear when not filming.

  • It is important to have a risk assessment to ensure that know crew members  or cast are brought to any harm, because if they are unable to film due to injury it will delay the rest of filming and may cause a delay to the finishing of the film etc.
  • Also any filming equipment that is damaged is likely to be expensive and will cut into the budget of the making of the film if anything needs to be replaced.
