Shoot Producers welcome constructive feedback from models during shoots. Feedback can be offered at any time, but during the shoot is best so the Shoot Producer can make the rest of the shoot day better for you.
Some areas you may want to offer feedback include;
- The pace of the shoot (speed up / slow down)
- How the Shoot Producer makes estimates (vague “a few” vs specific “2”)
- The activities they are directing (less / more / over there instead)
- The questions they are asking (please change the subject)
- Lunch for subsequent shoot days
- The temperature in the room
- Start times for shoot days
- The name they call you by
- The words they use to describe things
This list is not intended to limit what models can provide feedback on – nothing is “off limits” – this list is only to demonstrate that any kind of feedback is welcome. 😇
If you’re stuck with how to start this conversation, remember that Shoot Producers view their work with you as a collaboration together. So you can open with something like, “Hey, can we stop the shoot for a moment? I just want to discuss something…”. The Shoot Producer will stop recording and put their camera down to chat with you. It’s never a problem!
