Film shoots are inevitably going to be noisy. For the most part, the noises should not bother people in the neighbourhood especially during the day. However, there are times when the noise can become excessive.
Before directors pick up their megaphones to give out instructions to the people on set, they first need to clear that with the film contact. Audio playback can also only be used once it has been cleared by the film contact.
The generators being used to power the set must also be located properly. The parking locations for the generators must be discussed with the film contact.
