Call sheet
A call sheet is the document that tells everyone working on a production who is needed, in what role, and when. At its core it lists each crew and cast member with their call time and contact details, so the whole team knows where to be and when.
Beyond names and times, a call sheet often carries the day's key logistics — location, schedule and important notes. Keeping it attached to the show (rather than in a stray spreadsheet) means it stays current and can travel with the rest of the production paperwork, including safety documents that need signing off.
