Production schedule
A production schedule sequences the shoot day from call time to wrap. It allocates time for setup, hair and makeup, each scene or look, meal breaks, and reset between locations. A good schedule includes realistic buffers, names the person responsible for moving the day along, and identifies any time-sensitive moments such as golden-hour exteriors.
Example
7am crew call, 8am H&MU, 9am scene 1 (studio), 11.30am move to exterior, 12pm scene 2 (golden hour), 1pm lunch, 2pm scene 3, 5pm wrap.
