Electrical tape. It is the perfect compliment to Gaffa. Gaffa is wide and like fabric while LX tape is thin and plastic. It is what we use for attaching cables to lighting bars and each other (although we still use gaffa for taping them to the ground). It is also the best way to mark out the spots where you want things put (if the scene involves knocking a table/chair over, you use LX tape to mark where you want it so you can put it back in the right place)

I come from theatre (where I was trained as a Fringe director/Stage-manager) so I apologise for terms like LX, SFX, SM, etc.

1) Camera
2) Enough stock for the day (I was once sent on the four hour round trip around London to get some Super16mm and when I got back (cans in hand, I might add), the crew had decided to pack up! )
3) Script
4) Food
5) Crew
6) Traffic cone & striped tape (to cordon off any areas you want to use)
7) Someone who can think fast and talk faster (for when the police inevitably arrive)
8) Car (for speedy getaway)
9) Business cards (to distibute to the general public)
10) Now, what was "10)"? Oh yeah... Actors
