View Upcoming Dates

We’ve all watched movies with glaring continuity errors. Whether it be phantom props or jolting axis breaks, these errors take the audience out of the story. On set, it’s the Script Supervisor that makes sure everything will cut together seamlessly. Otherwise known as the “on-set editor” Script Supervisors play an essential role in every production. Don’t be fooled by the fact that Continuity is typically only a one-person department, this position is far from easy. Script Supervisors act as safety nets for the entire creative team — from props, to makeup, camera and lighting! In this course, students will learn all stages of Script Supervision/Continuity — from pre-production and production to the completion of reports for the Production Manager/ Editor.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Anyone with ambitions or interests in being a script supervisor will greatly benefit from this course. It is designed for anyone who wants to learn or be refreshed on what to do in this position, and for people with film experience that want to move up the ladder or transition into this career path. Previous experience in continuity is not required.
