CrewDesk/Glossary/First assistant director
The first assistant director, or 1st AD, plans the shooting schedule and runs the set so that each day's work is completed safely and on time.
One click, no account. The demo is filled with sample productions and rebuilt every day.
In pre-production the 1st AD breaks down the script and builds the schedule. On set they call for quiet, call the roll, keep the crew moving between setups and are responsible for safety. The 1st AD is not an apprentice director: it is a separate career based on logistics.
In CrewDesk the first assistant director typically owns the shoot-day events on the calendar and the tasks that must be done before each day.
