Common use of Call Times Clause in Contracts

Call Times. (a) During pre-production Producers and Heads of Department will discuss the requirements of the shoot and the shooting schedule, department size, where dailies may be needed and, as part of these discussions, the unit call time for each shooting day (“Unit Call Time”) and to the extent possible at this stage each Worker’s individual call time (“Individual Call Time”). (b) During each day of the shooting period, following discussions between the Producer’s Nominated Representative and the relevant Head of Department, each Worker will be given a call sheet. Taking into account the next day’s filming requirements and the Head of Department’s advice, the call sheet will specify the next day’s Unit Call Time. In the main this is not expected to vary much, if at all, from the Unit Call Time proposed in pre-production, or at the time the shooting schedule was issued. (c) For all departments, the Worker’s Individual Call Time will either be the Unit Call Time, or if different to the Unit Call Time, the call time as specified on the call sheet. (d) Any Individual Call Time that varies from the Unit Call Time will have been discussed with that Worker’s Head of Department and must be pre-approved in writing by the Line Producer.
