ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with the kind of office. A temporary production office on location is mainly used for feature films. Either the producer or unit production manager (UPM) determines the location of the office. First, he determines exactly in what city the film will be shooting. Once that is decided, the UPM will research different hotels. Most of the crew is fine staying in a standard hotel room. However, some actors may require more upscale lodging. Often hotels have larger rooms, suites, or even presidential suites that can accommodate this need. The meet-and-greet is a party given immediately before the beginning of principal photography. The purpose of the party is for crew and cast to meet one another before working together on set. The wrap party is the event that marks the finishing of principal photography. It is usually held on or immediately after the last day of shooting.
