Also known as daily call sheet
The plan for one shoot day: call times, the location, the scenes and pages being shot, which cast and crew are called and when, and notes such as weather, parking, and safety.
The call sheet is issued the day before, usually by the assistant directors, and it is the document everyone on set actually reads. It lists the scheduled scenes by number with their page counts and cast, the time each person is due, and the location details a crew needs to arrive in the right place.
Scene numbers are why it works. The call sheet points at the locked script and the day's sides by number, so a renumbered scene or a missing OMITTED slot turns tomorrow's call sheet into a puzzle. Writers delivering revised pages during production should expect them to be read against it.
Writers rarely appear on a call sheet unless they are on set, but the sheet shows what a day of their script asks for: how many pages, how many locations, how many actors. It is a useful reality check on why a production asks to combine locations or trim a scene.
The assistant directors, from the shooting schedule. It is usually issued the day before the shoot.
Call times, the location and address, the scenes and page counts scheduled, which cast and crew are called and when, and notes such as weather, parking, and safety information.
The call sheet lists the day's scenes by number; the sides are the matching script pages. Both point at the same locked scene numbers, which is why those numbers must not shift.
