Can you tell me what some of the terminology used on set means?

Immediately before and after actual filming you will hear the following instructions spoken by the assistant directors:

  • “Standby” – Take your position allocated by the Assistant Director and keep very still and quiet.

  • “Turn Over “ or “Rolling” – The camera begins filming.

  • “Action” or “Background Action” – Your cue to start your action

  • “Cut” – Action ends. It is likely that a sequence of filming will be repeated several times, therefore, following the word CUT you should remain silent and await further instructions.

  • “Reset”, “First Positions” or “Number Ones” – Resume your original start position ready for another take.
