Script supervising in action
Here's an example: If we're following hand held, or if we are panning all the way with an actor, I might say to the director "Let's do one take, having the actor just cross clean out of frame. For safety. (And for an extra option in the editing room.) What do you think?"

YEAH BOYEEE!
I actually REALLY like the script I just read! Maybe this could be a thing?! Wish me luck at today's interview!

Here’s another short I worked on. Hope you like … dare I say, more than you like bacon?!
This is a cool feature I have on my iPad ScriptE continuity app. I can choose screen shots from each set up, and pair them up to see how the movie will cut together.
Some people don’t realize what a Script Supervisor does, but here’s an example of what my mind is thinking, and how I step up to my responsibilities (even at 5am this morning):
On the first take, we shot Simon’s eyeline, and he was looking further camera left (CL). We hadn’t shot the woman’s coverage yet, but I thought ahead to prevent potential problems… And I decided that we need to soften Simon’s eyeline to be more towards camera. I suggested this to the director, because if his eyeline remains harder in the CL direction, when we turn around and get the woman’s coverage, her eyeline would have to match, looking hard camera right (CR). The problem would be, it would appear she is looking out the window, instead of making eye contact with Simon on stage. By thinking this out, and having him look closer to camera, she could look closer to camera too. I actively ensured that we have the magic moment when our actors lock eyes, and that the footage we shot today can be cut together, preventing expensive reshoots.
On Tuesday I was called in as 2nd Unit Script Supervisor, for Day 1 of shooting. I walked onto the set and I knew 10 people! Ten!
2nd AD. UPM. Sound Mixer. DIT. Key Grip. Best Boy Grip. Best Boy Electric. Electrician. Key Make Up & Dept Head Hair.
What a surprise. My name wasn’t on the call sheet, and we were all so happy to see each other, it just totally made my day
