Setting the Tone

Generally the mood of the 'above the line crew' - the producer, director and actors, will set the tone for the whole production.

If they're calm and easygoing then the rest of us will be the same. If it's a frantic, excitable prep, that also mirrors itself in the rest of the staff and makes it a more stressful production.

The calm ones are the rarer of the two but generally those are the films that turn out really well.
