Overview
The Camera Report documents technical and organizational information related to footage recorded during production. This includes scene and take information, media card tracking, camera settings, lens and filter data, and other production details associated with camera operations.
Accurate camera reports are important because editorial and post-production workflows depend heavily on reliable production records when organizing and reviewing footage. Consistent reporting helps reduce confusion, improve media management, and support smoother communication between camera, script supervision, editorial, and post-production departments.
INSTRUCTIONS
The 2nd AC completes the Camera Report. For the info in the top-right corner:
- RDM/Roll #: A sequential numbering of each of the camera cards used. For example, the first camera card used on day 1 would be A001. The next camera card used, say on day 2, would be A002. And so on.
- Sheet: A sequential numbering of Camera Reports for each camera card. For example, for camera card SSD 56, you start with Sheet 1. If you fill up Sheet 1, then you would continue on a new Camera Report, Sheet 2. And so on.
- Media ID #: The ID number on the camera card.
- Camera ID: The serial number that can be found on the bottom of the camera.
