How to Be a Script Supervisor; helping new script supervisors keep the notes the editor lives on

How to Be a Script Supervisor is a free, self-paced course on script supervising. Thirteen steps take you from a script to a working binder: timing the script, the continuity breakdown, story days and the one-liner, the lined script and facing pages, slates and takes, matching action, eyelines and screen direction, take notes, the script supervisor’s daily report and the editor’s log. Each step has a short read, the part first-timers miss, an example from an invented Texas shoot called Learner’s Permit, and questions you answer about your own script. The car scenes make a good continuity puzzle. Included: the How to Be a Script Supervisor workbook, a file that opens in your web browser and saves as you type, plus a printable worksheet for every step, a blank facing page, a continuity log, a script supervisor’s daily report, an editor’s log and a lined-script legend card. The workbook compiles your answers into the front section of your binder. It’s free, and it’s yours to work through at your own speed. There are no videos and no live sessions. Goldsmith Production Services does breakdowns, schedules and prep paperwork for independent films, including facing-page binders for script supervisors.
