This is an example of a call sheet I made for my Black Cabbie script. For this exercise I chose the most complicated and most grandiose scene of the film so I could make a very detailed shot list which covered a range of different things. I detailed the shot list as much as I could whilst making it simple enough to communicate to actors and crew. This is an essential part of making a call sheet I found. Noting all the important factors, but then making it simple enough to read and understand. My first attempt of a call sheet made me go back and start again to get what I have below. My initial call sheet was very poorly executed because I understood very little of the concept of one document being sent to everyone involved in a scene. This call sheet should apply to even small roles such as extras I realised. The inclusion of things such as sunrise and sunset became important. Not so much for my scene with it all being interior, but now that I have began shooting things such as my Me, Myself and I project I can fully understand how important it is to know when the sun sets. For lighting and continuity as both affect one another.
I noted all the key roles in this version of the call sheet below including contact details for anyone on site and for the home office. I used CCAD as an example. I learnt to include and communicate which script pages and which characters were in that scene through use of a simple grid system which shows it all.
