Make your first experience of being on set an informed and easy experience and listen to Georgie and Pierce’s list of 5 things you need to know. They are here to tell you what to expect so you don’t have to waste your acting skills on covering up your shock and excitement on your first day at work.
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Make the most of rehearsal time. With filming, it's really important that you self rehearse to get it right during filming. Work on your character during down time and discussion with others.
Get to know the cast and crew and understand their function. Make sure you have a comfortable relationship. Be genuine and authentic.
Try to understand the technical lingo and the procedural functions. Research a set or try YouTube to inform yourself.
Carry on acting despite mistakes until you are told to stop. The Director will call cut if they need to.
Have fun when you are on set. Remember what you are there for. Enjoy it.

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘Sets are tiring places to be. The majority of time you’re on set you’re going to be waiting around and it can make you feel really tired and worn out. So, it's great when you’re on a set with people you can connect with and as you said, energise each other and make each other feel good.’ – Georgie
‘By rehearsal time we don’t just mean the allotted time that is set out for rehearsals. Honestly, like indie projects it’s a blessing if you get any rehearsal time.’ – Georgie
‘Turns out the man she was talking to at lunch was the showrunner and because she’d come off so well she’d demonstrated that energy, he told the producers to find her a role.’ – Pierce
‘Make sure by the time you come round to being in front of the camera as a main, supporting, whatever kind of role you land, you know exactly what’s gonna happen.’ – Pierce 
‘Please remember that these films are cut really well by editors so even if one bit of the scene doesn’t work, there’s gonna be continuity notes that say ‘ actor messed up a line here but we can still use this bit, this bit.’’ – Georgie
