A read of one day’s call sheet by every department before it goes out. The schedule read first, so the sheet is checked against the plan rather than the plan against the sheet. Every time on the sheet checked against the times it depends on — cast calls against unit call, unit call against location access, pick-ups against travel, estimated wrap against the last scene and the location’s hard out — with each contradiction stated with both figures. Every scene on the sheet checked against the schedule for cast, pages and location, and every cast member called checked for a scene that needs them. Each department — camera, sound, art, costume, make-up, locations, transport, catering — read for what the sheet tells them and what it assumes they know. Special requirements checked for presence and for the right section. Advance schedule checked against the next day. Returned as findings time by time and department by department, ranked by what the day makes them cost. Three business days from the brief arriving, or by the time named in the brief if the day is sooner and the sheet arrives before noon. Not scheduling, not a safety review, and no sheet corrected.
