KEY TAKEAWAYS

Call Sheet : a document that states when and where everyone is required.  
Sides : the part of the script being performed that day. 
Quiet on Set : an essential instruction for silence to stop extraneous sound pickup. 
Takes : an attempt at filming.
Green Room : a room to rest up or wait for actors and crew. (Not always green!)
Mos : a take without sound. 
HMU : hair and makeup unit. People really worth networking with.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Essentially it will vary from set to set what a call sheet looks like. You will find that when you get to the bigger projects, it’s more standardised, but when you’re starting out you’re going to be doing independent projects, smaller scale projects and they tend to abbreviate a little bit more.’ – Pierce
‘A lot of the way these microphones work is they’re directional, so they point to the subject that they’re trying to record. If you are in that general vicinity, you are going to be captured whatever sound you’re making.’ – Pierce 
‘’One take wonder’ doesn’t hold a lot of weight because a lot of directors and a lot of camera operators want shots for safety. As much as you can have people on set to look out for continuity errors and bits and bobs that might go wrong, human error is totally a thing and you’re gonna want a safety shot.’ – Georgie 
‘Personally I’ve landed roles just by being friends with hair and makeup artists.’ - Georgie
