In the performance of the first of these duties, the second must liaise with the production office, particularly the [[production secretary]], who passes the list onto the production office, usually to the [[production co-ordinator]], for approval. Once approved, the secretary finalises copies of the list. The second then physically provides the cast and crew with these copies, so that everyone involved with a day's shoot knows when and where they're supposed to be. Though it may seem trivial, this action is absolutely vital to the first's chief goal of keeping [[principal photography]] moving according the shooting schedule. |
