Beyond Continuity: Script Supervision for the Modern Filmmaker / Edition 1

A guide to the craft of script supervising, this book includes practical instruction and examples explaining the skills needed to work as a professional script supervisor. Mary Cybulski details training to be and working as a script supervisor. She covers the basic skills of breaking down a script, taking notes on set, matching, cheating, screen direction, and what the director, actors, and editor expect from a script supervisor. Also included are many of the more subtle, but just as important, skills: how to get a job, how to tell what is important in a script and on set, how to get along with the cast and crew, and how not to get overwhelmed when there is too much information to process.
