Film production glossaryTurnaround

Turnaround is the rest period between the end of one working day and the call time of the next.

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

Turnaround in practice

Minimum turnaround is set by union agreements and labour rules, and it differs by country, by union and by role. When a night shoot runs late, the next day's call must be pushed back, or the production pays a penalty. Check the agreement that applies to your production; this page is not legal advice.

Where it lives in CrewDesk

CrewDesk shows consecutive shoot days on the calendar, which helps a coordinator notice a late wrap followed by an early call. It does not calculate rest periods under any specific agreement.

CrewDesk is a working application, not a mock-up. Open it, move a project to the next stage, assign a task, and judge it on what it does.
