It’s framed so that means it’s official now! 💥 Got my Script Supervision & Continuity certificate from @raindancefilmfestival with outstanding script supervisor/instructor Timothy Hunt. I took this course right before directing my short film in April so I was hyped up on everything we learned and basically just shouted “CONTINUITY!” like a maniac the whole time on set. 😂 (It was actually a running joke with the cast/crew and we had a blast). 😆❤️ If you’d like me to shout spastically about continuity on your film set, let me know. I’m official now! 🤗 …I can also take efficient notes in the place of maniac-ing if you’d prefer. 🤓✏��📋⏱🎞 * * * #learningallthethings #scriptsupervision #scriptsupervisor #script #scriptsupervising #continuity #filmmaking #filmcrew #filmmaker #indiefilm #creativity #supportindiefilm #film #filmset #raindance #filmcommunity #raindancefilmfestival #filmschool #filmstudent #director #directing #storytelling #production #filmproduction #screenwriting #screenwriter #filmdirector #independentfilm https://www.instagram.com/p/CQjQApnh0ln/?utm_medium=tumblr

Announcement: Great opportunity for an aspiring Continuity Script Supervisor in Scotland!

So how come one of the worst managed projects that I have ever worked on becomes one of the most fun, enjoyable, eye opening experiences?

I even got a makeover because they needed a ‘glamorous lady’ for one of the scenes. 

I learned more about myself, other people, roles on a set, friendship and what truly makes me happy... too many experiences to list but lets just say there was a lot of Lidl chocolate, a lot of bitchy stares at members of the public and a few moments where I had to pinch myself... goths walking about in stilettos in a garage forecourt at midnight then driving home to my homemade playlist and explaining what a beat drop was to the producer <3 

Three days (and nights) of madness and I cant wait for the next one :)

Secondary role reflection

My secondary roles were: producer in “Wither” and script supervisor in “Indian soup”. Because I have already written about “Wither” a lot, I’ll talk about supervising the script. 

Generally, my role was merging between a script supervisor, an AC and a runner. It was because Andy’s shoot was a lot more laid back and chill than shoots usually are. Everything was running smoothly and the script was quite simple, therefore I had extra time helping them out.

As for the scriptsupervision per se, I made sure I am acquainted with Andy’s script, understand actor’s positions and stay alert on set to point out potential mistakes. Throughout the shoot I was taking reference pictures to stay on top of continuity as well as the eye lines. I also made sure that I let the AD know if the actors are making mistakes in the delivery of their lines.  Generally, working as a script supervisor seemed like a pretty easy work, but it might seem like this because Andy’s shoot was generally running very smoothly and it was quite entertaining because of the nature of the film. It was interesting to witness the way Andy was directing his actors and crew. The fact that the script was quite uplifting made it easy to focus on set and work without stress and tensions. It was interesting to see another group working in a different environment than my own film. I think watching the way the shoot was organised definitely made me reflect on how a relaxed working environment is very important for everyone to do a good job.

key script supervisors:

Now it’s time to elevate our craft more by learning negotiating skills and educating others about the value of what we do.  The workload is bigger nowadays and there are many days it would benefit us to have more than one script supervisor on set.  That’d be great right? Here’s a way to get there: 

On the call sheet, request that you get your own category.  We are not a part of production; our category is Continuity. 

Also we are not a department of one; we are a Department Head. We have 2nd units, stunt units, aerial units, splinter units...  So request that your job title on every call sheet is Key Script Supervisor 

Next get comfortable negotiating for additional script supervisors.  This can be introduced during the interview and brought up when the shooting schedule comes out. If there is a ballroom scene for example, or 4 cameras, act like a Department Head and say “That’s a big scene and a lot of cameras, I’m gonna need additional script supervisors those days” 

This additional script supervisor will be on the callsheet in the Continuity section, right under your name.  And it will seem like it’s always meant to be that way. 

What do you think?
