Daily Production Report Form

Log each shoot day on set, capturing scenes and setups completed, schedule status, and issues so production stays on top of the shoot.

Description

A film shoot lives or dies by how well each day is tracked, and the daily report is where that record lives. This daily production report form captures what happened on set each day, so producers and the production office always know exactly where the shoot stands.

It records the production title, shoot date and day number, call and wrap times, the scenes shot and how many scenes and setups were completed, and whether you’re on schedule. Free-text fields log any issues, delays or incidents and notes for tomorrow, signed off by the 1st AD or PM.

Share the link with your ADs and production managers so reports come in the same format every day. A consistent daily record keeps everyone aligned and the schedule honest. Customize the fields, add your branding, and embed it on your site or share a link in minutes.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Daily Production Report Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a daily production report form?

A daily production report form records what happened on a film set each shoot day, capturing call and wrap times, scenes and setups completed, schedule status and any issues. It gives producers a consistent daily record, so everyone knows exactly where the shoot stands and what needs attention.

What should a daily production report include?

This report captures the production title, shoot date and day number, call and wrap times, the scenes shot and how many scenes and setups were completed, and whether you’re on schedule. It also logs any issues, delays or incidents, notes for tomorrow, and who reported it.

When should a daily production report be filed?

At the end of each shoot day, once the unit has wrapped and the numbers are known. Filing it promptly gives the production office an accurate picture overnight, so any slippage against schedule is caught early and tomorrow’s plan reflects what actually happened today.

Who fills out a daily production report?

The first assistant director or production manager, who tracks the day on set. The form captures scenes and setups completed and any incidents, so producers and departments back at base get a reliable account of the day without having to be there themselves.

Why track setups and scenes completed each day?

Because they’re the truest measure of a shoot’s pace. Comparing scenes and setups completed against the schedule shows whether a production is ahead, on track or falling behind, letting producers act on a real trend rather than waiting until the overspend becomes obvious.

Is this production report template free to use?

Yes, completely free. Add or remove fields, adjust the sections to match your production, and restyle it to your brand, then embed it on your site or share a link — no coding needed. A free Fun Forms account lets you collect daily reports.
