You're so welcome! It makes me feel good it’s helping. I will be getting busy here making more videos. I’ve been a little busy beta testing the iPad version of ScriptE. But I’ll do one for how to approach the actors soon. That is on my list!😊
Hi Alex, you're welcome. I hope I answered your question of what a Script Supervisor is. Let me know if you have any other questions. I will be putting more videos out soon.
You are awesome Monica and I really appreciate your videos. I have just been trained and was fortunate to follow a script supervisor on an entire movie shoot, which was so beneficial to see multitasking in action. My question is, do you agree that different sets and directors call for different things/skills? I hear some people saying they are needed to help with the arc of the storyline since it is shot out of order - or they feel their filmmaking/editing skills are needed to make sure scenes will piece together. I was trained to follow closely on book and take careful notes about blocking and continuity. Yet the shoot I was on had so much improvisation both with dialog and blocking - every take was different. Luckily the director is the editor so we mostly took copious notes on what he liked and took screen captures. (I felt most needed with continuity of the wounds from the fight scenes.) I appreciate your comments about finding out first what the director would like.
Thank you so much for your sweet comments! And to answer your question, yes different sets and different directors call for different things. When I first started out, I was trained with the basics. As you go along you will find every job is different and you will be up against new personalities and situations. It was very frustrating at the beginning because they weren't following the rules! But then I realized as I got more experience that, I needed to be helping them make their movie not mine. The one thing I did learn was that whenever I brought something up, like a screen direction issue or cutting point, I needed to make sure they knew what I was talking about. Because It would happen later that they would come up to me and say, "Oh that's what you meant"! So as long as they understand what you are trying to warn them about, and they decide not to take your advice, that's when you back off. But make sure you make a note in the script notes that you advised about whatever it was, so if they come back later you can say, "look at the notes". Keep in mind, you are an information bank. It's up to them to decide what they want to do with that information. Just make the note and you'll sleep better. I can go on about this topic and I will be doing another video on the relationship of the director and the script supervisor and how best to handle them. I hope I answered your question. If I didn't, feel free to write back.
@@scriptimonicaonset This EXACTLY answers my question. I need to hear information like this. It IS frustrating because I had a vision of what I am supposed to do and you have confirmed that it will change from job to job, which is comforting! I look forward to any tips and advice, and I enjoy hearing about what has worked for you.
@@vermontmoocow Great! Obviously, there is more to it than my text, so I will be doing another video on the Script Supervisor/Director relationship because our job is not just a technical job it's a creative job as well and knowing the difference.

Thank you, Monica. This video is so helpful!
I would like to know more about the tips for talking to the actors. Waiting for your "another" video. 😉
