Call Sheet

What Is A Call Sheet?

A call sheet is a chart issued to the cast and crew of a theatrical or film production, listing the production schedule (times, dates, places etc). Usually, in addition to including a schedule, the call sheet also includes a list of contact information for other members of the cast and crew. This would benefit the whole production team in case of an emergency because it would save time trying to find people - the call sheet would provide the whereabouts of everybody involved and the times. 

Our Call Sheet

For the days we were planning to film on, we decided a call sheet was going to be extremely useful. The sheet we prepared and distributed to everybody involved in our project is included in this blog.

We also knew from our AS production that call sheets also contain other useful information, such as mobile numbers, emails, as well as script pages. We also found out that advanced call sheets often contain details on weather, locations of local hospitals, sunset/sunrise times and locations of local hardware stores! They commonly have information on transport details, which are vital to ensure everyone is were they need to be.
