576-408: A film to lose its greenlight status during the pre-production phase – for example, when an essential cast member drops out or unexpectedly dies, or some scandal engulfs the studio or an actor – it is rare for a film to lose financing once principal photography has begun. Immediately before a take is shot, the scene is rehearsed with camera, light and sound. Most American productions follow

672-401: A full film crew with its own director, especially for more complex productions. The second unit works independently but in coordination with the director of the overall project and is responsible for city and landscape shots, establishing shots and intermediate images as well as for mass, action and stunt scenes. The length of the filming depends not only on the length of the film, but also on

These schedules are then used to build the daily call sheets , which summarize the relevant information from the schedule and lists exactly who has to be on the set for a planned daily shoot. At

Some 1.2 million persons may be within Boston's boundaries during work hours, and as many as 2 million during special events.

Once everyone is ready to shoot, the AD calls "roll sound" (if the take involves sound), and the production sound mixer will start their equipment, record a verbal slate of the take's information, and announce "sound speed", or just "speed", when they are ready. The AD follows with "roll camera", answered by "speed!" by

Every hour spent on set resolving issues which could have been resolved earlier—while the cast and crew wait for filming to resume—equals thousands of dollars which will need to come out of some other portion of the film's budget. As of 2012, the average "day cost" for an American film ranged from as low as $ 25,000 for low-budget films, to $ 35,000-$ 60,000 for midlevel budget films, to as high as $ 100,000-$ 250,000 for blockbuster films.

6528-400: The main drives behind filming on location. However, outdoor shooting requires more effort because equipment and personnel must be transported to the location.

6720-408: The narrative structure may become clear only after filming (such as when a rough cut of the film is put through test screenings with audiences who have not had the benefit of reading the screenplay in advance). Other reasons for re-shoots may be the production company 's desire to make the film more commercially appealing, or the replacement of actors whose performance was lacking or who no longer fit
