Set Etiquette and ProtocolSet Etiquette and Protocol
• Etiquette: “the conduct or
procedure required by good
breeding or prescribed by
authority to be observed in
social or official life”
Courtesy of Webster’s Online

• Etiquette is a matter of
common sense if you apply
the “Golden Rule”
• Most of what we know about
etiquette we learned at home
• Many of the rules of business
etiquette you never learn until
you make a mistake
• Film etiquette is even stricter

• As a film tech, it is your duty to
learn and practice some simple
rules of etiquette and protocol
• More people are fired on films
for breaches of etiquette and
protocol than any other reason
• What follows are some of the
most important skills you can
learn in order to work in film

1. Arrive On Time
(generally, 15 minutes
early is considered to be
on time)
2. Do Your Job
and don’t tell anyone
else how to do theirs
unless they ask for help
or are in danger

3. Be Polite Always say
please, thank you and
you’re welcome (not
“yeah”) and refer to
superiors as sir or ma’am
4. Be Humble When
someone compliments
you on a job well done,
thank them

5. Respect the Actor’s
Space Stay out of their
eye-line whenever
possible and work
quietly around them
6. No Autographs
When working with a
famous actor, never
ask for pictures or
autographs

7. Listen and Ask
Questions if you have
any doubt about what
has been requested of
you
8. Be Alert - Watch for
every opportunity to
assist your fellow crew
members

9. Make Your Superior
Look Good by doing
your job efficiently and
you will become
invaluable to him/her
10. Follow the Chain of
Command Suggestions
& complaints should be
made through your
direct supervisor

11. Learn People’s
Names & Positions
as a matter of respect
and to show you care
12. No Whining!
Moods are contagious
and people prefer to
work with people who
have a good attitude

13. When You Arrive,
Check In with your
superior - things often
come up that need
immediate attention
14. Avoid cursing and
telling distasteful jokes
as a matter of respect for
co-workers and young
actors

15. Turn Off Phones
or leave them in your
car until lunch or wrap
16. Never Touch Props
- It is often a “hot set”
and moving something
might ruin continuity

17. No Loud Talking
at any time on set -
The production team
needs to concentrate
18. Hold All Sensitive
Conversations out of
ear range of others as
a courtesy to those
involved

19. Have the Correct
Tools for the Job
it is your responsibility
to own the right tools
and to know their use
20. Learn the Correct
Terminology for all
equipment and use it
whenever possible

21. Friends & Family Not
Allowed on Set unless
you clear it in advance
with the AD, UPM or
Producer
22. Photos and Video
Usually Prohibited
unless you clear it in
advance with the AD,
UPM or Producer

23. Admit it When You
Make a Mistake It is
much easier to undo a
mistake if it is
revealed immediately
24. Never Take “Set
Heat” Personally
Harsh words are
common on set in the
heat of production

25. Never Party Too Hard
Before a Call Don’t let
the night before affect
your work performance
26. Never Leave Set
unless there’s a real
emergency and only
after checking with the
AD, UPM or Producer

27. Never Let Your
Personality Conflicts
Get Out of Hand
There will be people
who you will find
difficult to get along
with, but you will only
be working together for
a short period of time

28. Withhold Critical
Opinions of Other
People’s Work Unless
you are the Director, DP
or Exec. Producer
29. Be Honest - If you are
asked for your opinion or
feedback then speak
kindly, and from the heart

30. People Notice Your
Best Efforts and
reward you with future
work and advances
31. Everyone Started
Somewhere - If you
ask for advice or help,
most set technicians
are eager to mentor

32. Be Patient - All
departments have the
right to finish their work
without hostility from
other workers
33. Be Efficient - The
worst thing you can do
is to hold up the set -
TIME IS MONEY

34. Respect Civilians
Maintaining positive
public relations is the
responsibility of all set
technicians
35. Respect Locations
We are dependant on
using locations and
can’t afford to lose any

36. Respect the Gear
Film equipment is
valuable and needs to be
handled carefully
37. Respect Co-workers
Everyone has the right
to work in a comfortable
and positive working
environment

• Protocol: “a code prescribing
strict adherence to correct
procedure (as in diplomatic
exchange and in the military
services)”
Courtesy of Webster’s Online

• Protocol is not simply a matter
of doing things according to a
proscribed procedure, following
protocol can save your life
• A motion picture set can be a
very dangerous place
• Before you walk onto a set,
you need to learn a few simple
rules and attend the Set Safety
training offered by IATSE 480

38. Don’t be a Hero
do your job safely and
deliberately (there’s
no running on set for
safety reasons)
39. Act Professionally
Never horse around
on set - it is a serious
workplace and can be
dangerous

40. Report Dangerous
Conditions (including
drug or alcohol use by
co-workers) to the AD or
UPM immediately
41. Avoid Loose Clothing
or Jewelry It can get
tangled in equipment
and cause an accident
or injury

42. Always Drink
Plenty of Water - It is
easy to dehydrate
43. Take Vitamins &
Use Hand Sanitizer It
is easy to catch colds
on set due to long
hours and germs

44. No Music Devices
They remove you from
the moment and impair
your ability to hear
instructions
45. Use Sunblock and a
Head Covering –
Severe sunburn can
result in death

46. The Armorer is in
Charge of all prop
Guns and Weapons -
never handle them
unless supervised
47. Listen Carefully to
Safety Briefings - The
First AD or Stunt Coord.
will give a safety briefing
before all stunts

48. No Open-toed
Shoes – It is easy to
have something
dropped on your feet
49. Work carefully
around power tools –
And only work when
others are present in
case of an accident

50. During Dangerous
Stunts and Setups
If you ever feel that
your safety is being
compromised by the
actions of a co-worker
or by the production
company, you have the
right to speak out with-
out fear of retribution

Issues of sexual
harassment are
evaluated from a
“reasonable person’s”
perspective.

An employee is telling
racial jokes. Another
employee appears upset.
The department head
should speak up.

DISAGREE

A crew member complains that
two Hispanic employees are
speaking in Spanish. The
employee thinks they are
talking about other workers.
The department head should
instruct the two employees to
stop speaking in Spanish.

DISAGREE

A film has been in production for
two months. There is one week left
but it will require travel out of state.
All electric crew members have
been invited to travel except one
employee who is the oldest in the
department. He believes he is being
passed over because of his age
Does he have a valid concern?

You are working on a set where
bathrooms are gender neutral and first
come first served. On a break you
notice the bathroom line is longer than
usual and suggest to your supervisor
that the bathrooms should be gender
segregated since men take less time
than women. The supervisor decides to
designate one restroom as male only.

Marketing Your SkillsMarketing Your Skills
• If you want to work,
You need to do Marketing

Marketing Your Skills
- No one else is going to do it for you…

- No one else is going to do it for you…
Here are some basic suggestions for
marketing yourself

• You are an Independent Contractor
– You need to keep good financial records
Many independent contractors get into trouble
because they fail to keep accurate records
and to make regular tax payments. Don’t save
all contributions for the end of the year or you
may be subject to penalties and interest.

• You can get a business license

• You can get a business license
With a business license, your employer will pay
you your wages without deductions but you will
have to file your own taxes on a timely basis

• You can get a business license - or -

• You can work as a freelancer

As a freelancer, your employer will make standard
deductions form your wages based on the
number of exemptions you claim. Please consult
a tax professional to decide which is best for you

– You need 4 basic tools for success

• Reliable Transportation

• A Cellular Telephone

• An Email Address
+

• An Email Address
• A Business Card

• There are 5 basic ways to market yourself
#1 Create a Résumé
(Known in some countries as a CV)

• Include:

• Include:
Name and Contact Information

• Include:
Objective (i.e. seeking employment in the
entertainment industry)

• Include:
Education (also list training and certifications)

• Include:
Work Experience (relevant to the objective)

• Include:
References (or say: Available on Request)

• Include:
References (or say: Available on Request)
Skills or Interests (list anything that will give
you an edge over someone with similar skills)

#2 Assemble a Show Reel

#2 Assemble a Show Reel or Portfolio
• Your reel should only include highlights of
your best work – not complete projects.

• Reels and should be under 3 minutes in
length. see: creativecow.net

• Reels and should be under 3 minutes in
length. For examples see creativecow.net
• Include: Your name and craft specialty at
the beginning and at the end and include
your contact info in case the reel becomes
separated from your résumé.

#3 Create an Internet Presence

• Create and Maintain a listing on IMDB

• Create and Maintain a listing on IMDB
– The Internet Movie DataBase is the resource
most producers will use to verify your work.
You receive IMDB Credits from all features,
short films and TV Shows you work on as
long as they are posted by a producer or are
entered in a film festival through “Without a
Box” (also owned by IMDB). It is up to you to
consolidate your listings and to add your
name to projects that are registered.

• Create and Maintain an IMDB Listing
• Create and Maintain a Facebook Page

– Remember to “keep it professional.” Many
producers check for Facebook postings to
gauge the professionalism of potential
employees. That photo you posted of last
weekend’s party might have seemed like a
good idea at the time…

– Remember to “keep it professional”
• Create a YouTube or Vimeo Account

– Post only videos that show your talents not
that shaky and poorly lighted video of your
girlfriend’s cat climbing the curtains.

– Post only videos that show your talents
– Vimeo has higher video quality and it is
generally perceived as more professional

– Post only videos that show your talents
• Purchase a Domain Name and Create
your own Website with videos, etc.
– Try to get YOURNAME.com

#4 Build a Network

#4 Build a Network
• Complete the old adage “It’s not what
you know, _______________________” -

#4 Build a Network
you know, _______________________” -
this is more true today than ever before

#4 Build a Network
you know, _______________________” -
• Attend industry functions, union and
guild meetings, and film festivals to meet
and network with other film professionals

#4 Build a Network
you know, _______________________” -
• Attend industry functions, union and
guild meetings, and film festivals to meet
and network with other film professionals
• Collect contacts and then keep in touch -
if you are in their minds you get the work

#5 Advertise

#5 Advertise
• List yourself with online crew resources
like state and city film offices or crewing
companies like crewconnection.com,
crewscontrol.com or maslowmedia.com

#5 Advertise
• Hire an agent. This works best if you are
in one of the major markets like LA or NY

#5 Advertise
• Hire an agent. This works best if you are
in one of the major markets like LA or NY
• Pay for a listing on an online resource like
mandy.com or productionhub.com

And the most important piece of advice:

• Be Persistent!

• Be Persistent!
– People get hired when they are persistent.

• Be Persistent!
– If you keep calling, sooner or later you will call
at just the right time – perhaps right when they
are booking the crew for a production.

• Be Persistent!
– Drop in to their offices - if you are in the right
place at the right time, you’ll get the job.

• Be Persistent!
– Drop in to their offices - if you are in the right
place at the right time, you’ll get the job.
– Never pass up work – the opportunity might
not come your way again.

Good luck, and please be safe out there.
The Film Industry provides many exciting
and fulfilling career opportunities but no
film is worth dying over. If you feel your
safety is being compromised, speak up. If
they fire you, another opportunity always
comes along.
