1
00:00:00,533 --> 00:00:03,133
filmmakers love to invent terminology
2
00:00:03,133 --> 00:00:04,999
and rules for onset behavior
3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,566
some of it's kind of pointless
4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,400
but some of it only seems pointless
5
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:09,800
but it's actually really important
6
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:10,566
it's crucial to
7
00:00:10,566 --> 00:00:13,366
understand the rules of how to act on set
8
00:00:13,466 --> 00:00:14,933
and while I can't possibly teach you
9
00:00:14,933 --> 00:00:17,566
all the rules of filmmaking etiquette in a tutorial
10
00:00:17,566 --> 00:00:18,399
I like to share with you
11
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,500
a few of the most commonly broken rules
12
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:22,766
that I've seen by people new to a film set
13
00:00:23,266 --> 00:00:25,566
the overall arcing theme here is to be aware
14
00:00:25,566 --> 00:00:27,866
that this is a professional working environment
15
00:00:27,866 --> 00:00:29,566
and there are a lot of moving pieces
16
00:00:29,733 --> 00:00:31,966
everyone has their own sphere and influence
17
00:00:31,966 --> 00:00:32,933
and responsibility
18
00:00:32,933 --> 00:00:35,699
and support that those boundaries are respected
19
00:00:36,133 --> 00:00:36,966
for example
20
00:00:36,966 --> 00:00:38,366
if you plug in a little
21
00:00:38,366 --> 00:00:40,033
little heater to stay warm
22
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:41,533
you could blow a fuse
23
00:00:41,533 --> 00:00:44,299
which might create a lot of time consuming problems
24
00:00:44,366 --> 00:00:45,533
talk to the gaffer
25
00:00:45,533 --> 00:00:47,966
if you wanna plug something in close to set
26
00:00:48,366 --> 00:00:50,133
it's important to respect only the gaffer
27
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:51,699
but all department heads
28
00:00:51,766 --> 00:00:53,166
don't touch lights or cameras
29
00:00:53,166 --> 00:00:54,733
even if you know how to use them
30
00:00:54,733 --> 00:00:55,699
that's really bad form
31
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:57,800
and you could break something or mess up a take
32
00:00:58,133 --> 00:00:58,899
also on a film said
33
00:00:58,900 --> 00:00:59,300
a lot of times
34
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:00,966
people own their own gear
35
00:01:00,966 --> 00:01:02,066
and touching other people's gear
36
00:01:02,066 --> 00:01:02,933
without their permission
37
00:01:02,933 --> 00:01:04,399
might ruffle some feathers
38
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:05,900
here we see 1st AC
39
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:06,933
Marco Scoringe
40
00:01:06,933 --> 00:01:08,766
and camera operator Ty Huffer
41
00:01:08,766 --> 00:01:09,899
getting comfortable with the camera
42
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:10,966
adjusting the focus
43
00:01:11,166 --> 00:01:13,399
but right next to them is Daniel Mamura
44
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,500
who is an experienced and skilled DP
45
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:17,266
and he probably has more experience
46
00:01:17,266 --> 00:01:18,533
with this particular camera system
47
00:01:18,533 --> 00:01:19,833
than these two guys do
48
00:01:20,166 --> 00:01:23,899
but his role on this production was Best Boy Electric
49
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:25,466
which has nothing to do with the camera
50
00:01:25,866 --> 00:01:28,133
so Daniel maintains perfect set etiquette
51
00:01:28,133 --> 00:01:30,833
by allowing Marco and Ty to do their jobs
52
00:01:30,933 --> 00:01:31,799
of course he's standing by
53
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,900
in case they have any questions or need his help
54
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:35,333
but he doesn't muscle his way in
55
00:01:35,333 --> 00:01:36,666
and start changing things
56
00:01:37,533 --> 00:01:38,699
the set itself
57
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:40,600
is also something that needs to be respected
58
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,700
we'll talk more about continuity in the next chapter
59
00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:43,900
but suffice it to say
60
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,166
don't ever touch anything on a hot set
61
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:48,300
a hot set being
62
00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:50,700
one that is currently being used for filming
63
00:01:51,166 --> 00:01:52,766
just leave it alone
64
00:01:52,766 --> 00:01:55,166
don't reposition a napkin on a table
65
00:01:55,166 --> 00:01:57,066
don't drink out of a water bottle
66
00:01:57,066 --> 00:01:58,999
nothing if it's part of the set
67
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,900
and has been seen on camera
68
00:02:00,933 --> 00:02:03,066
do not fiddle with anything in any way
69
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,800
make sure to act professional at all times
70
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,400
don't talk or create any kind of noise or distraction
71
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,866
while the cameras are rolling
72
00:02:10,166 --> 00:02:12,466
also don't bring drugs or alcohol to set
73
00:02:12,533 --> 00:02:13,099
on the assurance
74
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:14,166
we had production insurance
75
00:02:14,166 --> 00:02:15,433
in case something happened
76
00:02:15,533 --> 00:02:17,866
but the terms of that contract stated
77
00:02:17,866 --> 00:02:19,533
that any drugs or alcohol
78
00:02:19,533 --> 00:02:21,433
were onset at all
79
00:02:21,466 --> 00:02:22,666
the contract was voided
80
00:02:22,666 --> 00:02:24,166
and we were not insured
81
00:02:24,766 --> 00:02:25,366
remember also
82
00:02:25,366 --> 00:02:26,866
to follow the chain of command
83
00:02:26,866 --> 00:02:28,299
you don't ask the director when lunch
84
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:29,400
is yes the ad
85
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:30,966
even if the ad is a stranger
86
00:02:30,966 --> 00:02:32,299
and the director is your girlfriend
87
00:02:32,666 --> 00:02:34,533
don't talk to the actors while they're on set
88
00:02:34,533 --> 00:02:35,866
unless you're the director
89
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,400
also if you're not the director
90
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:41,200
don't ever give actors direction ever
91
00:02:41,266 --> 00:02:43,733
don't tell people how to do their jobs
92
00:02:43,733 --> 00:02:45,966
unless it's your job to do so
93
00:02:46,566 --> 00:02:48,199
even though I was producer on this short film
94
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,666
I would still ask our gaffer
95
00:02:49,666 --> 00:02:50,533
Chris Taylor
96
00:02:50,533 --> 00:02:51,866
if I could borrow his grip
97
00:02:51,866 --> 00:02:52,666
Matt Harrison
98
00:02:52,666 --> 00:02:54,233
to work on another job for me
99
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:57,200
because Matt was a part of Chris's department
100
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,800
that shows respect to Chris
101
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,900
and his leadership of the GNE department
102
00:03:01,333 --> 00:03:02,599
also be aware of social media
103
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,133
I've seen people get fired on set
104
00:03:04,133 --> 00:03:05,466
because they took pictures of the set
105
00:03:05,466 --> 00:03:06,433
and tweeted that
106
00:03:06,566 --> 00:03:07,799
don't take any pictures on set
107
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,000
or post details about the production of social media
108
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,300
without express permission from the producers now
109
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:17,333
these are just some of the things to be aware of on set
110
00:03:17,333 --> 00:03:19,566
so remember to be tactful and professional
111
00:03:19,566 --> 00:03:22,366
for any issues that arise on your productions
112
00:03:22,733 --> 00:03:24,366
next we'll look at more protocols
113
00:03:24,366 --> 00:03:26,799
we learn about practicing safety on set
