The Script Supervisor

The script supervisor, or continuity person, is a crucial crew-member on any drama shoot, and they’re always in demand. Working closely with the director, the script supervisor ensures all scenes are covered, and will cut together in the edit. They’re required to keep detailed records of dialogue, action, costumes and props, so that different scenes and shots retain ‘continuity’. Their reports and notes are an invaluable reference point, not only for the director, but also the editor who needs to assess how each scene was shot.
