The length of a shoot day can vary and is dependent on the Production. The expected shoot length will be included in the Casting Call. An average shoot day is 10+1 hours (10 hours working and 1 hour for lunch). You should plan to be on set for 11 hours from the time you are called. We will always try and let you know your call and wrap time in advance.
Not necessarily. We will inform you of the content of the scene if Production have asked us to do so.
You will be notified of your costume brief the evening before the shoot. Some Productions will require you to attend a fitting before the shoot if they would like to look over your costume, or fit you with specific clothing from their Costume Department.
We recommend that if you are to provide your own costume, you should take at least 3 options. The Costume Department will then go through your options and choose the outfit they would like you to wear. Variety is key. It is also a good idea to take a coat to keep warm between scenes, especially if the shoot is external. There can be some waiting around, so take a book or something to keep you occupied during down times.
