They develop story synopses and character breakdowns, and check the shooting schedule to ensure that all the required scenes are shot and adequately covered from all required angles, distances, etc. They attend recces and pre–production meetings to feedback any identified issues, and during rehearsals they record detailed timings which inform the shooting schedule. They work closely with Directors to anticipate and solve any potential problems.
