Job Description: Location Manager

Location Manager: Manages the area in and around the shooting location during the set-up and shooting of the scene. This sometimes may involve putting up temporary marker-tape or walls and signs to mark off areas that non-crew should stay out of during the shoot.

The Location Manager also "holds a perimeter" and keeps non-project avi's out of the shoot, answering their questions, giving them a project T-shirt and movie poster, showing them where they can stand and watch if they want, and keeping them happy (and off the set). The shoots are designed to take less than an hour each, so the job shouldn't get too tedious or overwhelming. If help is needed, the Location Manager can bring on PA's (production assistants) to help do the job for large or busy set Locations.

After the shoot: take down any tape barriers, signs or walls erected to protect the set.
