The first assistant director (A.D.) creates the production
schedule board with the director and producers
by breaking down a script to determine what elements are needed
for
each scene and how the shooting schedule will proceed. The
first A.D. makes sure that all departments communicate with
each other. After making the board, the A.D. creates a "day-out-of-days,"
a chart that organizes each actor’s work schedule.

The auditor reviews the budget with the line producer and
producers and, with the accountants, monitors the production’s
daily expenditures, down to the penny.

Some scripts require special consultants. Military advisors,
police or historical experts, even food
stylists, might be brought in for their expertise,
often becoming involved during the script-revision phase.
Actors may need instruction in fighting, skating, dancing,
sword-play, or even a regional accent or dialect.
