Production Communication & Collaboration Flashcards

When submitting a post-production intimacy report, what information is most critical to include?

Answer: A summary of choreography performed, any deviations from the agreed plan, and performer check-in outcomes

Post-production reports document what actually occurred versus what was agreed, providing accountability and a record for any future concerns.

A key principle of 'transparent communication' in IDC methodology involves:

Answer: Clearly communicating the coordinator's role, limitations, and process to all collaborators at the outset

Transparent communication means all collaborators understand the coordinator's role, authority limits, and workflow before production begins.

When a production company asks an intimacy coordinator to sign an NDA that would prevent them from reporting safety violations, the appropriate response is:

Answer: Decline to sign provisions that conflict with professional duty to report safety violations

An NDA cannot ethically override an intimacy coordinator's professional and legal obligation to report genuine safety violations.

How should an intimacy coordinator handle a situation where a director gives a performer notes about the intimate scene without the coordinator present?

Answer: Follow up with the performer privately to ensure the notes were acceptable and no new boundaries were crossed

A private follow-up ensures the performer had the opportunity to process the notes and that no unacknowledged boundary issues arose from the unsupervised conversation.

Which communication channel is considered LEAST appropriate for transmitting sensitive performer boundary documentation?

Answer: Unencrypted group text or chat including multiple crew members

Unencrypted group messages expose confidential performer information to unauthorized parties, violating privacy and professional ethics.

When collaborating with a stunt coordinator on a scene involving both physical combat and intimacy, the intimacy coordinator should:

Answer: Coordinate in parallel, clearly defining which choreography elements fall under each specialty, with both coordinators present for overlapping sections

Hybrid scenes require parallel coordination with clearly defined responsibilities and joint presence for elements that overlap both specialties.

A performer asks the intimacy coordinator to communicate a request to the director on their behalf because they feel intimidated. The coordinator should:

Answer: Honor the request by conveying the message professionally and following up with the performer afterward

Supporting performers who feel intimidated is a core advocacy function; the coordinator conveys the message professionally and ensures the performer is informed of the outcome.
