The lower your budget, the smaller your crew will be. This is not necessarily a hindrance. Large crews can cause more confusion in general on the set, and actors tend to be more comfortable and perform better when the set is not overcrowded. Let us now review the process of filming a scheduled scene on a typical shooting day, the essential members of the production team, and their duties as they should be performed.
On the set, you first rehearse the scene you are about to shoot one last time with your actors, blocking their movements with the camera. It is a good idea to have a script supervisor whose main job is to ensure continuity from shot to shot. If an actress holds her cigarette in her right hand in one shot, she should do the same in all related shots.
