production schedules

Difficult to kow without seeing the document itself.
Peer comment(s):

neutral David BUICK : That to me sounds more like "feuille de tournage"... (Gayle: I admit I'm guessing too!)

I think that feuille de tournage is still different from this. Maybe I'm wrong though.

work shot

On trouve aussi "working shot"

"Fascinating gallery of portraits — most of them "work shots" taken on the set for promotional purposes — presents top American movie directors (1903-82) in some 200 striking photographs." (lien ci-dessous)

TonyM has succeeded in making me unsure of everything! Consider this link explaining a "plan de travail" in this context and download the releted spreadsheet.

I'll quite while I'm ahead and leave someone else to decide what this might be called - I think Gayle's suggestion is the closest so far to what this is but I'm no specialist.
Peer comment(s):

agree Gayle Wallimann : Without seeing the document, this is a possibility.

disagree veratek : work shot is a documentary photogragh!

Yes, I've recanted! See my amendment in the note added at 1hr.
agree Tony M : OK, then in that case, I'ad agree with your last suggestion, a 'shooting schedule'

French term (edited): plan de travail

storyboard

Although this is not the usual term I am familiar with, it seems the most likely complement to the 2 other items mentioned for the illustration of this sort of book.

OK, then, in the light of the latest ref. so kindly provided by Eutychus, I'm clearly wrong — what that reference clearly and unambiguously refers to is called a 'shooting schedule'
Peer comment(s):

neutral Sarah Llewellyn : Tony - that's what I posted earlier, with appropriate refs. :-)

I think these are more likely to be the 'shooting schedules' and/or 'call sheets' — there seems to be some woolliness in the way different writers use the same terms.
neutral David BUICK : In my experience, the French for this is "le storyboard" or "le story": artist's impressions of the shot prior to filming, whereas a "work shot" is (I think) a rough shot taken during filming.

I'm not fam; with 'work shot', but your description sounds like a production still (nothing rough about it!) — but again, this is not the FR term I am used to for those either...
disagree veratek : didn't see a single reference where "plan de travail" means storyboard - agree with eutychus

Yes, I think Eutychus has at last come up with the right definition, which makes perfect sense in the given context

Pour chaque séquence, (l'asst realisateur) rédige une fiche technique qui contient toutes les indications concernant les personnages, les décors, les costumes, les éclairages… Il peut alors établir un plan de travail pour chaque corps de métier.
