The labor laws for children (<18) in film are brutal. As they should be. Better to avoid the whole thing unless really necessary. Extras definitely won't be under 18.
Sometimes extras have to be kids, so filming can stretch out a few days.
Knowing there's kids on set can actually be nice, because you know there's only so long they can shoot for, instead of stretching a Friday night out indefinitely. Especially if it's a director like Fincher who is known for doing a lot of takes.
Acted as a kid, mainly in locals and some true crime shows for New Dominion Pictures, back before the true crime mania.
This one lady who was on a lot of the same projects I was on called me "her little guarantee" meaning she got to get home to her kids at reasonable hours because I was on set. Lol
In my experience, when possible they just shoot the stuff with the kids first then pivot to scenes without them to finish out the day. Not always the case though!
Yeah, they'll front load the kid stuff if they can for sure. Or just stagger call times.
Usually when they were creating a hard out time you were already in the weeds as it was. Getting home late, but not as late as it would be.
There's often an "after-hours" shoot for scenes without kids or even specific camera angles from a scene where the child actors aren't necessary.
Not to mention you don't want underage actors in explicit scenes. So with shows like euphoria is kind of impossible to use people actually that age
You assume they follow the law
That's exactly where it would be followed.
When they get caught, sure..then they partly their lobby fees and it gets sweeped under the rug. These mega corps don't play by our rules, they have no rules.
That's what unions are for, which are very strong in the movie business.
Sigh. This is exactly where it's easily monitored (part of the regulation I'm pretty sure), observable, and thus enforceable.
Unions are very, very strong in that industry. The regs are followed.
Big exception being animators :')
