Availability of personnel

When recruiting for your production it is important to gather relevant information that can have a significant impact on the procedure and period of time it will take to complete. It is important to communicate and recognise potential barriers that may cause setbacks with the creation of the film. You need to be able to identify specific dates and times that will be set so that this individual ensures that they are able to work at the chosen period.

It is essential to ask questions and gain understanding of when individuals involved within the production are available. Ask questions such as:

• "When are you available to work?"
• "Do you have any holidays booked?"
• "Do you currently have another job?"
• "Are you able to travel easily to the production destination?"
• "Are you able to make time to be included within the production?"

Asking these sorts of questions enables you and the production team to determine whether they are willing to hire this individual and whether they will be reliable as well as meet the requirements and needs of the production.
