I have never been on a real set before so I didn't know you needed a PA alone in the back next to craft services. You guys are really next level with this stuff.

Oh, the glamorous life of the PA...

Seems in Belgium we have a very short but effective one. Seems we are one of the only ones who don't call the camera: 1. 1st AD says "Silence for shooting" 2. 1st AD says "Sound" 3. Sound engineer says "Rolling" or "Speed" or whatever they fancy 4. 2nd AC reads the slate 5. 1st AC presses Rec on the camera. If it doesn't make a sound (some camera's give a que when rec is pressed) he will say "Slate" or "Mark" or "Clap" 6. 2nd AC slams the sticks 7. 1st AC says set 8. Director says "Action"

or you could ask if the camera is set is place, then ask if the camera is rolling

Interesting. Here in the UK (or at least on productions i've been on), this is what happens: 1. The 1st AD yells "QUIET ON SET, WE'RE GOING FOR A TAKE" - instead of "Picture's up". He/she then checks if everyone is ready then continues to say: 2. "Roll Sound" -1st AD 3. Sound Recordist starts recording, and responds "Sound Speed" 4. "Call it" -1st AD 5. 2nd Camera Assistant (Clapper/loader) says "Slate/Scene x, Take x" etc... 6. "Roll Camera" -1st AD 7. Camera Operator or 1st Camera Assistant initiates the recording, and responds "Camera Speed" 8. "Slate/mark it" -1st AD (this line is sometimes skipped - for faster/efficient workflow - which is critical when using film) 9. 2nd CA claps/marks the clapper 10. Camera Operator and 1st CA set the camera (refocus from the clapper to the scene and frames it), after doing so camera operator replies "Set" 11. Director then can say "Action!" when he/she feels like the actors are primed and ready for action ^_^

NightHawker258 Some in America call that too. Really, what gets called changes a lot depending on director, like they say. My crew generally calls it closer to yours

I bet this was confusing to film: "Cut! No, don't cut yet. No that's not the real one"

Shortly where on my first Set and that Production Assistant is so on point

Poor PA.

Hey guys, just discovered the channel, you are AWESOME! incredible job, awesome tips you're helping me a lot! Please keep up the good work.

Lol, I love the subtle comedy. Amazing!

I've PA'd before. It's a great learning experience but it sucks when you're literally the only person to leave the group to go do something.

You missed "Mark it" for Slate / Sound sync. Or maybe we just use in the UK.

”Final checks”, “final adjustments”, ”last looks” so props, hair and make-up get the chance to reset You can also say “turnover camera”

What does "speed" mean? does that mean its the equipment is hitting its normal operating RPM?

@halaway196

+juntistik No it's just to let everyone know they've started recording sound/video, the term "speed" comes from when it took a few seconds to get going and reach operating speed which isn't a problem these days.

It means the motor is running at the proper full speed, whether that be for the sound or the film camera. Back in the day, both used motors. Now, it is depends on what equipment you use and what the director and crew prefer. I always direct my projects on real film, so they call out “Speed” for camera and generally just “rolling” for sound, which is recorded digitally.

God I love all this stuff!

U can film on anything, it's more about the vision than the production value

Im curious, I have always seen the title best boy in film credits, what does the best boy do?

Perfect! Thank you!

I have a Suggestion: I'm a beginner to film maker for KZread and I don't have a lot of money for film making. could you show us some practical effects that don't cost much and could look good if you only had a Editing program like Windows movie maker

+3GreyLeaves Career, not carrier. Two different words there bud. Going to college doesn't give you unlimited funds to get the software you need either. It's silly to assume as fact that going to college means someone never pirated something. Now I'm not saying Freddie necessarily pirated anything or that you need that fancy software to create a good movie/product... but I'm just saying what you said proves nothing.

Deathbrewer The point that I was making was that he didn't start from nothing. He spent the time to learn and apply his skills. Whether he pirated or not is non of our concerns. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point he had pirated (as I know Niko did a lot of that) but that's not what made him good at what he does.

Listen carefully, just before the Clapper/Loader says Slate 2, Take 2 she throws in the word "Awesome" for no apparent reason. - Eek... Americans!! - Anyone saying "Awesome", "Cool" or "Dude" on my set, would be forced to sit in a corner in a Dunce's hat. :)
