Script Supervising and Film Continuity

I love this book super useful for prepping and doing the job of a script supervisor, some things are spoon fed but that's what I like about it. If you have never been on a film set I think you should buy this book immediately.

I wannabe a Script Supervisor! This is a great book, highly recommended by someone who works in the movie industry. There is a lot of info to absorb, but the book goes step by step, and I am familiar with the lingo., and etiquette on the set. I guess being a Stage Manager for 30 years has had some influence! But this book I also recommend...get a hold of an actual movie script too. So you can apply what you are reading to an actual movie script! Great Book! Thanks!

This is an excellent support to anyone in the business - a production asset to keep things on track. The detailed information and pitfalls to avoid make it a teaching tool as well as a refresher for those who want to do a great job.

As a beginning Script supervisor, this book was recommended first and foremost by everyone who I spoke to about training. It does cover all the necessary functions of a script supervisor. If you're looking for comprehensive coverage of the job then this book will do it. The limitations are that it is an old book. The last revision occurred 14 years ago when using the internet and computers to script supervise were starting to take hold. Now with that said, I've worked on numerous film set, some of them in the tens of millions of dollars, and most script supervisors still didn't use a computer, so it isn't essential. Commercials are another story and nearly all of them with major accounts that I've worked on (in non-script roles) the scripty used a computer. Another issue I've noticed is that film really isn't used much on many films. Everything is digital so there is much more dead footage because the director decides to keep rolling and take from the top. If you're not on top of stuff, you'll quickly lose track of what's going on. Experience and mentoring count for a lot. Still if you need an introduction then this is the go-to book for script supervising.

Everything you need to know if you are starting out as a Script Supervisor. Nothing beats on set experience, but this is a great start. Highly recommended.

This is a great book for anyone looking to become a script supervisor. It should be required reading for all directors. Look at Beyond Continuity: Script Supervision for the Modern Filmmaker as a companion to this book.

This is the best you are going to find...by far! Concise, clear...excellent learning example. THE book on Script Supervision. You can't do better.

Tells you everything you need to know about script supervising from an industry professional!
