Second AD

Third AD
Is on set all the time, assisting the first. The third helps direct background action, prompts actors and cues them and looks after artists on set.

However few or many people form the production team, they should work closely together. One of the most important jobs undertaken by the production coordinator or PA during this period is to ensure that communication between members of the team does not break down and that information is passed on quickly and accurately.
