HOT TIPS

This section is designed to give new and inexperienced performers some useful tips. It is in two sections: what to do when you are hired, and what to do for the shoot.

When you are hired

Make sure you know exactly:

• What you are being hired to do
• The name of the production company and the director
• How much you are being paid
• When you are going to get paid
• How you are going to be paid
• Will you need your own wardrobe?
• The date, time, location and essential phone numbers
• Will you be expected to do your own make-up or will there be a make-up artist?
• How long you will be needed?
• Transport arrangements – if transport is not provided, work out carefully how to get there and how long it will take

On the day:

• Make sure you arrive early
• Take the right wardrobe and make-up if needed
• Carry your current picture ID and copies
• Take the Sexual Health Certificate we will have given you (make sure it is not more than 30 days old), and copies of it to hand out.
• Take a towel, a robe, a douche, lubrication, toothbrush and toothpaste
• It’s a good idea to take an ipod, walkman, book or magazine to pass the time while you wait to get started or between shots
• Take your mobile phone but always remember to turn it off while on set
• Do not take expensive jewellery or lots of cash to the shoot
• Bring your own condoms
