Call Sheet Template: FREE Filmmaking Production Documents

Call Sheet Template

How do you make sure you and your crew know where they are going and what is happening on the day’s shoot. Enter the powerful Call Sheet.

It is usually created by the assistant director, by using the film director’s storyboards or shot list. The assistant director issues the call sheet to the crew and actors of the production to communicate to them when and where they should go for a specific day of shooting. The call time is also listed on the call sheet. This is the time when the cast and crew are expected to start working on the film set.

Call sheets also include other very useful info like contact info (i.e. cell numbers of the crew), what scenes are being filmed, the day’s schedule, and the location’s or sound stage’s address. Call sheets also have info about parking, safety notes, and actor transportation.

Call sheets most often provide info regarding the day’s shooting location. You’ll find items like sunrise/sunset times, the day’s expected weather, and where the local hospitals/restaurants are on standard call sheets.
