Film Crew Slang

"Lock It Up"-  The process by which an area is secured for sound and picture is" locking it up". The 1st Assistant Director will usually call it out. It could be on the sound stage, at a door or on location...anywhere.Your battle station, especially as a Production Assistant (P.A.) may be to "lock it up."

"Bogie"- a person not affiliated with the production who enters the shooting area. A Production Assistant on lock up may call on the radio"We have a bogie coming around the corner of Smith St." in order to warn the shooting crew.

 "Lookie-Loo"- a gawking bogie who may potentially ruin a shot. Although sometimes they are handy if you need crowd reactions.
