Script Supervising: Foundations Course

Continuity, Eye lines, and Notes, OH MY!  The Life of a Script Supervisor. During this Foundations Course, students gain an understanding of the overall role of a script supervisor, learn the forms and lining the script in the pen-and-paper method, and on-set responsibilities and tasks to tackle their script supervising jobs. 

The session also includes a mock film set where I bring in actors and we apply everything we learned.

Due to the California COVID-19 "Safe-at-Home" restrictions, any classes scheduled through April have been cancelled. We're hoping this issue will be cleared up sooner than later.
