The second AC typically creates the setting marks for the actors. These setting marks should be set with paper tapes so that they are easily taken off from the ground. The most common ways the setting marks are created are in the T-shape or setting two strips of tape in front of the toes. When tape is ineffective for the specific shooting location, a sandbag T or a T bracket can be used. Both of these strategies help the actor know where and in which direction they should be standing. If the mark showing up on camera is a concern, a small dot can do the trick as well. There are a couple helpful rules when setting marks: use a different color for each actor, different color for each camera, and make sure the setting mark will not be visible inside the frame. One of the most useful tips I found in the video was the twist and tear. This technique allows for an easy tear from the roll and an easy source location to strip the tape off from the ground.
