Film production glossaryCall time

A call time is the exact time a person must be on set and ready to work. The general crew call is the time most of the crew starts; individual calls can be earlier or later.

One click, no account. The demo is filled with sample productions and rebuilt every day.

Call time in practice

Make-up, hair and wardrobe are often called before the general call so performers are ready on time; this is a pre-call. Drivers and catering may start earlier still. Call times appear on the call sheet and are set so that rest periods between two working days are respected.

Being on time means being ready at the call time, not arriving in the parking lot at that minute.

Where it lives in CrewDesk

Calendar events in CrewDesk carry the date and time of each shoot, fitting or meeting, and the people linked to the project see them. Individual call times are detailed on the call sheet attached to the project.
