I learned that before shooting with a cast and crew, it's crucial to understand the importance of time, parking, and staging gear. Time includes a call time when people should arrive, and a wrap time when people will be done, and this information must be communicated with everyone so they can schedule their day with the shooting. A general rule of thumb is the crew should arrive about an hour before talent to set up, and time must be allotted to wrap the set, so planning for these times in advance will ensure that everyone's time is respected. Another key element is parking, as most gear will be stored in vehicles that need a place to park, and this information should be communicated with them beforehand to keep things running smoothly. In addition, it's important to plan out staging of where the gear will go, because you don't want it lying around in a place where it could get in the shot, or damaged.
