Mark
Also called hit your mark, hitting a mark
A mark is the exact spot an actor must reach and stop on, usually shown by a strip or cross of tape on the floor, so the shot or scene works as planned.
Hitting your mark means arriving at that position at the right moment, in rehearsal and while the camera is rolling.
