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.
