5 Shooting Schedule Pro Tips that Build Momentum on Set
# 1: Start the day strong with a quick win. Shooting a scene soon after call time shows everyone you’re on it, and there was good reason to show up at that time.
#2: Shape each day around the ebb and flow of your talent’s creative energy and they’ll deliver better performances. When scheduling scenes, ask yourself: Who’s working hardest in this scene? Who needs a break after the last scene? Who hasn’t been busy for a while?
#3: Schedule scenes chronologically when possible. It’ll make continuity a lot simpler and talent will be energized when they can better follow the path of the story
#4: Schedule easy scenes between really hard scenes. After a long go at a difficult scene, getting in a few quick wins back to back will show progress and lift spirits.
#5: Plan for changes in weather. Be prepared to swap scenes and days around if weather doesn’t cooperate. Consider indoor locations as fallbacks.
