THE SCRIPT SUPERVISOR: TURNING CHAOS INTO COHESION

A script supervisor ensures continuity in every aspect of a production—screen direction, eye-lines, shot sizes, and more—while creating detailed reports that streamline editing and support the director’s vision.

Our 8-week online Script Supervision Course equips students with the skills to master all stages of continuity, from pre-production planning to on-set supervision and creating comprehensive reports for post-production editors.

Learn from live, professional script supervisors explaining their craft. Classes are held online and all materials are provided. There has never been an easier way to build your skills as a continuity expert!

DAY 1

Dive right into the most important role on set: the director. Learn about shot selection, the psychology of framing, and how to interpret a script.

After lunch the cameras come out. Discover how to go beyond automatic settings with white balance, shutter speed, and exposure. A hands-on exercise puts all the concepts covered into practice.

DAY 2

Day 2 focuses on how to determine the shots one will need during production. The lesson discusses coverage, and shot lists are developed for the upcoming shoots.

More cinematography instruction delves into the more advanced aspects of exposure, filters, shutter speed, and ISO. More hands-on camera exercises cement new skills taught.

DAY 3

Focus on lenses on day 3. Learn how to choose the lens best suited for the shot you want and how to use depth of field to make your shots stand out.

The afternoon will cover working with actors, blocking, on-set protocol, and the role of the assistant director. Shot lists are reviewed and critiqued as the final preparations are made for the following day’s shoot.

DAY 4

Shoot day! With a small group, shoot your short films and put the skills gained over the week into practice. Dispatched with comprehensive equipment packages, teams will shoot two films over 8 hours. By the end of the day, you will have experience and skills in two important roles that will translate to any set, large or small.

DAY 5

You now have the footage, but there’s still another step before it becomes a film: It’s time to buckle down and edit. Tools and techniques in Adobe Premiere are taught as well as theories behind editing such as cutting and pacing. InFocus mentors provide guidance as the projects move from raw footage to polished film, and by the end of the day films are finished and presented. Celebrate with a certificate of completion and your own film to show off and include in your portfolio.

Apply to the Film Production Program after taking the film camp and the course cost will be deducted from your tuition!
