Hero brass key + two matched doubles
Three aged brass keys on identical oval wooden tags. Hero goes from Mara’s right hand to Ellie’s left. One soft double for rehearsal; keep hero scratches matched.
Try a production change. Save a draft, notify departments, or ask for approval.
PLAN / PREP & BREAKDOWN
The script becomes practical work. Track who owns it, what it depends on, and which scenes and departments it affects.
Three aged brass keys on identical oval wooden tags. Hero goes from Mara’s right hand to Ellie’s left. One soft double for rehearsal; keep hero scratches matched.
Dress the blue cloth logbook closed in scene 3. Prepare the November 5 keeper-relieved page for scene 6. Two duplicate insert pages for resets.
Olive coat, charcoal knit, dark trousers, scuffed boots. One hero and one duplicate. Coast-path wind continuity carries into the stair landing; photograph collar and cuff positions.
Two matching rust jackets, oatmeal henley and faded black jeans. Sound needs a quiet lining test before wardrobe approves the body-pack position.
28 / 50 / 85 / 75 / 40 mm. Begin wide, isolate the key, then reunite Mara and Ellie in one frame. Boards and dialogue are linked in the shotlist.
Check reflections in the cottage window with the practical dimmed. Share a lens-height frame with electric, grip and VFX before the tech scout.
Oak table 0.8 m off the south wall, blue logbook center, brass key to its left, amber-shade lamp on the right. Clear the window wall for camera. See the floor plan.
Aged metal rail and removable scenic panels. Keep window mullions consistent with the exterior reference. Flag finish changes to camera and VFX.
Soft cool window source, dimmable warm table practical and negative fill. Mock lighting diagram shows intent only; the gaffer designs and signs off the actual rig.
Compact slider, 4×4 negative fill and lightweight window diffusion. Location door clearance is 0.9 m; break down equipment before carrying it inside.
Test Ellie’s jacket lining during the fitting. Approve mounting with costume and performer; keep a boom alternative. Post needs clean dialogue plus a wind-only wild track.
Reserve one minute of room tone after each interior. Capture isolated lamp switch, key on wood, and the staged mechanism for the final sound sequence.
Natural skin texture, short silver hair and restrained wind disturbance on the coast. Photograph front, profiles and hand detail with the key.
Loose tied-back curls. Keep the same stray curl across arrival and the cottage scenes despite shooting interiors first. Coordinate jacket collar with costume.
Fictional scout: west door 0.9 m clear; no wall fixings; floor protection required; load-in 07:00–08:00. Generator location and cabling require a separate approved plan.
Location and safety leads to assess conditions before call. Interior weather cover is available. Demo dates and conditions are illustrative, not permission to work at a real location.
Review the assisted step and short stair ascent with performers and the qualified coordinator. Final method and stop-work authority belong to the production safety team; this is a planning record.
A controlled lighting cue simulates the beam; no live lighthouse mechanism. Coordinate timing with camera, electric and sound. Keep the practical-effect review attached.
Capture a clean locked plate, lens metadata, grey/chrome reference and witness still. VFX supervisor approves the capture list; editorial receives the matching take notes.
Same parking mark and cabin dressing for arrival and departure. No visible third-party logos. Keys held by the picture-vehicle coordinator, separate from the hero lighthouse key.
Day 1 cottage interiors; Day 2 coast exteriors; Day 3 lantern-room stage. Scene 3 moved earlier on Day 1 to allow the reflection test and the longer dialogue setup.
07:00 crew call, 08:00 shooting call, 13:00 lunch, 18:00 estimated wrap. Latest PDF and cast calls live under Call sheets; demo contacts cannot be called.
Two crew vans from fictional Harbour Base at 05:30. Equipment van loads separately. Keep the cottage access lane clear and confirm headcount with production.
24-person sample crew count. Meal times follow the published call sheet. Vegetarian option and drinking water at both bases. Collect any real dietary or medical needs privately in production.
Camera card labels TL_A001 onward, sound rolls TL_S001 onward. Checksum-verified copies reviewed by DIT before release; matching reports and look reference accompany editorial delivery.
24 fps, 2.39:1 framing reference, synced viewing files and sound notes. Preserve full camera originals. Opening coast sound bridges into kitchen; discuss music space after the final log entry.
Begin scene 3 with distance. End with mother and daughter sharing the frame. The warm practical goes out as the emotional warmth arrives; avoid overstating the moment.
Rehearsal Monday 10:00; costume and sound fitting 13:00. Fictional performers: Nina Hart as Mara, Casey Vale as Ellie, Ellis Grant as Ben. Calendar and contacts share these calls.
Illustrative package estimate $2,480 for three days. Await the producer’s approval of the window-light addition before placing an order. No real purchase orders or charges are issued in the demo.
Scenes 1–7 span the final keeper day, with scene 8 the following morning. Key is Mara’s until the end of scene 3. Logbook opens only in scene 6; preserve the November 5 page for the insert.
