Production Communication & Collaboration Flashcards

When an intimacy coordinator identifies a boundary concern mid-rehearsal, the FIRST person they should communicate this to is:

Answer: The director

The director is the primary creative decision-maker on set and must be informed first so production adjustments can be made collaboratively.

A production 'closed set' policy should be communicated by the intimacy coordinator to which team members at minimum?

Answer: All crew who may be present during the intimate scene

All crew members who could be present during filming must be informed of closed-set protocols to ensure a safe and private environment for performers.

Which document is most appropriate for an intimacy coordinator to prepare before a production meeting to outline scene-specific needs?

Answer: A scene breakdown memo

A scene breakdown memo details choreography, nudity levels, and performer needs, giving all collaborators a common reference before production meetings.

When a performer privately discloses a trauma history to an intimacy coordinator, the coordinator should:

Answer: Keep the disclosure confidential while finding set accommodations that address the performer's needs

Trauma disclosures are confidential; the coordinator's role is to create accommodations that protect the performer without breaching that trust.

During a production meeting, a director proposes adding nudity not in the original script. The intimacy coordinator's immediate responsibility is to:

Answer: Note the change and ensure performers are re-consulted and new consent obtained

Any addition of nudity or intimacy requires re-consultation with performers and fresh documented consent before the scene can proceed.

An effective pre-scene check-in between the intimacy coordinator and performer should include which of the following?

Answer: A review of agreed choreography and confirmation of comfort levels

Pre-scene check-ins confirm that previously agreed choreography is still acceptable and that the performer's comfort level has not changed.

When collaborating with a camera department on framing intimate scenes, the intimacy coordinator's primary concern is:

Answer: Verifying that camera placement does not capture body parts beyond what was consented to

The coordinator must ensure camera framing respects the specific body exposure limits that performers consented to in pre-production.
