Yes, these precipts seem to be common in the movie industry
Ms Jefferies was consulted by Equity in the development of their guidance which requires that when recording explicit or intimate scenes:
A summary of the story, scene breakdown and scripts should be distributed to all cast members in advance.
performers should be able to request a closed set where access is kept to a minimum.
a competent intimacy coordinator should be engaged.
She argues giving actors more information will help them deliver better performances and argues “there is an appetite for change”.
Ms Jefferies stresses the guidelines are not trying to put boundaries on storytelling. In the ten years since that incident there have also been major improvements, she says - and “these guidelines are just to bring it even more in line with the best practices in the film and TV industry”.
and I can’t think of news stories that show this is a problem in terms of leaking a story.
So, why not have the same degree of safety and protocols in game development?
