Hi, sorry if this is too personal ignore otherwise but I read your tags on the Barbie post and I'm just curious: what is it that you actually do usually or did when it comes to this movie?
Not too personal at all. I work as part of the assistant directors team. My job title is Set PA (which is basically a fancy title for 'runner'). Mainly our job is to help run the floor.
We mainly assist the cast in whatever way they need, whether that's making sure they get checked by HMU (hair&makeup) and costume before they shoot. Making sure they get food and drinks topped up throughout the day, helping to travel them to and from set. But aside from the cast, a large part of my job is to look after the people who run the floor, like the director (if they don't already have an assistant), the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd assistant directors and sometimes the script supervisor (who, all of the above, often find it difficult to leave set during the shoot day).
We also help keep everyone quiet during takes by locking off the area closest to where we're shooting, and letting people in that area know when we're rolling, we do an abundance of tea and coffee runs, and we liase heavily with all other departments.
And that's kinda my job in a nutshell.
