Important Notes:

Be prepared to take down the reporting location, date and time of your call, who to check in with, as well as the required wardrobe.

Make sure that you arrive on the set on time, with required wardrobe and/or props. It is better to arrive early than to report late.

When you arrive on-set, you will be handed a payment voucher (or contract). Fill out your voucher with care, making sure all information is legible and appears on all copies. Keep your own records of hours worked, meal breaks, etc. Make sure you note all wardrobe and props supplied at the request of the Producer.

Be courteous and attentive.

Bring along some busy work. There will likely be hours of idleness on the set.

Never leave the set without getting approval from the Assistant Director.

Once you are hired, you have been hired until released by the production company. In short, do not ask to leave early and do not leave early.
