For a Shanghai gaffer booking, share the lighting references, shot list, location photographs and available setup time. Discuss power, loading, stands, modifiers and the crew required to prepare and strike the lights. Agree how the gaffer communicates with the DOP and producer. Any changes to the lighting plan or working hours should be confirmed before additional equipment or crew is booked. Include equipment preparation, transport and location access in the schedule rather than counting only the time spent filming.
