Okay, so you’ve got some people that are going to be working on your production, and you’ve got some shoots scheduled. Great.
Sometimes, though, DiY filmmakers are so concerned about what is going to be shot and how, that they forget to think about how the shoot is going to actually run. On a big-budget production, there are people who have specific jobs to do – and even people who just manage this sort of thing – but you’ve only got a handful of people.
The worst thing to do would be to just have everyone doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that. A production need a division of labor, but how are you going to divide the work of 30 people into the size of your crew? We’ve broken it down below to show you how to divide things up to keep a DiY production moving smoothly on the day of the shoot.
