• Make-up and Hair – Before the actors arrive on the set, stylists have applied make-up and styled hair or wigs. The make-up artists and hair stylists stay on set for touch-ups during the shoot.

  • Script Supervisor – Continuity, making sure each element in a scene is consistent from shot to shot, is crucial when making a film and is one of the script supervisor’s tasks. The script supervisor closely watches and records all of the action during each take, noting everything from the duration of the scene, camera angles used and wardrobe and prop continuity. The director relies heavily on the script supervisor for any piece of information pertaining to the shoot. The editor also uses the script supervisor’s notes when working with the "dailies," or each day's footage.

  • Background – Extras are cast by the extras casting agency and are chosen based on what the scene requires and how many are needed. All extras need wardrobe, hair and make-up so they blend in with the look of the scene, which is why they are often referred to as background artists.

  • The Assistant Directors (A.D.’s) – With a team of second A.D., second second A.D. and production assistants, or P.A.’s, the first A.D. keeps the set running smoothly, trying to allow enough time for creative needs while at the same time maintaining the schedule and budget. With the production office staff, the A.D. department generates the daily call sheets and production reports. The P.A.’s often act as runners on the set and keep all entrances to the set locked down and quiet when the camera rolls.
