Film Crew Slang

Last Man- phrase that refers to the last person to get their food at lunch; usually used because lunch should not officially start until the last man has gone through the catering line. It ensures that everyone gets an equal amount of time to eat. Production and AD departments will monitor this and record the exact time on the Daily Production Report.

Daily Production Report-The form filled out each day of production for a movie, television show, commercial, music video etc. summarizing what occurred that day. There is no standard template but the information required is often the same.

Film Slang

Slug Line- In a screenplay it is the Master Scene Heading that describes the basic where and when of the scene.
Example:
INT. ROBERT'S OFFICE-DAY  (Interior of Roberts office in daytime)
EXT. STREET-NIGHT (Exterior on a Street at Night)

Dialogue Greatness

The Big Steal (1949)

Jane Greer to Robert Mitchum: What I like about you is you’re rock bottom. I wouldn’t expect you to understand this, but it’s a great comfort for a girl to know she could not possibly sink any lower.

Dialogue Greatness

Madagascar (2005)- This is a G film, but throughout the history of movies writers have found ways to amuse us with clever dialogue.
Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock) is running down the beach towards the Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller). They are both shouting each other's name in a classic slow-motion Hollywood reunion. As they get closer, Zebra notices that the expression and voice of the Lion is not happy but very angry. Zebra puts on the brakes and runs away screaming "Ohhhh, Sugar, Honey, Iced, Tea!".
