Yesterday we had our last production meeting before shooting our short film "At your side".Double-checking everything, especially the art department (what to bring to the set, how to decorate it, what actors are wearing etc). In film production lingo, these things are called "props" (things on the set seen in camera), "costume" and "set decoration".
There are quite many things that need to function on a film set, and a short film production can be quite complex. The weather needs to be collaborative, actors and extras need to be on time and wear the right clothes, technical gear needs to be working and handled correctly, and everybody needs to know what they should do at the right moment, especially when the director shouts "Action!" Or as in Spanish, "Acción!" Filmmaking is like mounting a foldable factory in a couple of hours in a place you don't know and hoping that it will work, then putting it down and moving it to another place, then the same over again but totally different.
