TAKE SHEET
A Take Sheet is like a scorecard that’s filled out as the shoot is in progress. It’s important
for someone to keep accurate Take Sheets during the shoot, as you’ll save time when
searching for shots during editing. Make sure that the person in charge of keeping the
Take Sheet is not distracted. If necessary, one Production Assistant could serve as Audio
Playback Machine Operator, and take care of the Slate and Take Sheet, during the shoot.

The top of the Take Sheet looks like this:
ARTIST__________________ DATE_________ SHEET ____ Of ____
SONG____________________________________ TAPE_______
* SHEET___OF___ During the shoot, number the Take Sheets in order - Sheet 1, Sheet
2, Sheet 3, etc. After the shoot, count the sheets, and add the total to “of____“.
Example: Sheet 1 Of 3; Sheet 2 Of 3; Sheet 3 Of 3.
* TAPE - The videotape on which the Take can be found. An entry is needed when
shooting with more than 1 tape. The first tape that’s used is Tape 1, the second Tape 2,
and so on. Always affix a label to each cassette, with the name of the band and tape
number.
The Take Sheet also contains the following:
* CAM POS - Camera Position, which should correspond to an Overhead Map of each
shooting location.
* TAKE - As each shot is in progress, give each Take a number. Every time you change
camera positions, start with Take 1.
* LENGTH - If a Take is the complete song, enter “All”. If a Take is only a portion of a
song, enter a description. (“Lead solo and 3rd verse”; “first verse only”, etc.) For scenes
