DISCIPLINARY RULES IN

THE TV STUDIO AND THE CAMERA & LIGHTING CLASS

In the film industry, the film set is a strict and sacred place of work, where punctuality

and proper behaviour must observed at all times.

Following that practice, these rules must be adhered to at all times during class in the TV

Studio.

PUNCTUALITY

You are to attend class strictly on time. This means that if class starts at 12.00pm, you

will be marked as late even if you are there are 12.01pm. Please refer to the “Class

Participation Brief” for more details.

SILENCE ON THE SET

Whenever a film set is at work, all hand phones must be switched off or put to silent

mode, so as not to disrupt the take. Even when the camera is not rolling, directors and

actors expect all film crew to maintain silence so as not to disturb their concentration, and

to be ready to film at any time.

As such, all hand phones must be switched off so long as you are in the TV Studio.

Should your hand phone go off, you will be asked to leave the class for half an hour.

This rule is enforced even if you are taking a theory test or filming assignment.

PROPER BEHAVIOUR

All film crew are expected to behave properly and professionally on a film set.

You are not allowed to laugh or play around, or make a lot of noise on a film set.

You are not allowed to eat or snack on a film set, outside of the permitted eating hours.

For the purposes of our class, you are not allowed to eat or drink in the TV Studio at all

times.

EQUIPMENT HANDLING AND CARE

All film crew members are expected to handle and manage all camera and lighting

equipment with care. All equipment must also be watched over at all times to prevent

damage and theft.

You will be responsible for the damage or loss of any equipment under your care should

it be a result of negligence, and will have to bear the cost of repair or replacement.
