Ask a Pro: The Script Supervisor

With health, safety and social/physical distancing our top priorities, this event will be recorded remotely by our speaker on March 31 and made available for Members to Watch On Demand within 48 hours.

You can read all about this Member benefit in our blog or, if you’re ready to jump right in, you can RSVP here or click the button at the top of this page.


 
In the latest in our series focusing on key crew positions, we welcome back Script Supervisor Sarah Horton (Aftermath, Unfriended, Behaving Badly).

The script supervisor’s role on set is not merely to ensure that continuity is maintained from shot to shot. She is the liaison between the director and editor, and her copious notes are the essential record of what was shot each day on set. Sarah will run through her typical responsibilities, both in pre-production and on set, and explain what all the squiggles in her script notes really mean.

Have a question for Sarah? Send it to us at education@filmindependent.org and include “Ask a Pro Question” in the subject line.
