ABSTRACT
A film set is an exciting, intense, and often pressure-packed environment filled with energetic people who are focused, driven, and usually working with limited time and resources. The chapter covers essential set etiquette and safety issues that should always be observed so that filmmaker project is safe, productive, and rewarding. Respect has three dimensions on a film set: we must respect the project, we must respect the people on the project, and we must respect ourselves by doing good work. Because film shoots are long and hard, and food is essential, filmmaker should take any dietary issues of his crew seriously. Filmmaking is a highly technical art form, and filmmaker cannot make a film without equipment. The chapter presents some of the major issues concerning production safety and security. Production insurance is necessary for all film shoots, regardless of the size, scale, and budget.
