To confirm what date we would film the trailer on, I emailed/texted the actors to make sure that they were available for that day, and to clarify what hours they could do so that it corresponded with my call sheet. I think messaging the actors over the Internet/via text message is not only a good way to exploit digital technology and to make good use of media items as a source of planning, but it also makes it easier to remember precisely when and where the actors should be on the day and acts as evidence that I have clearly gone through with my actors when and where they should be at the time of filming. As evidence, I took a screenshot of a message I sent to one of my actors, which can be seen below.
