Script Supervising and Film Continuity

Book excerpt: Miller's book on script supervision covers in detail hundreds of tasks a good script supervisor must perform: the recording of how the director is shooting the scene; how he breaks it up; a description of each shot, including who is in it, etc.; where there are changes in the dialogue or action that would affect the story line; how the characters are dressed; how the characters are positioned; and in what direction they were looking; the points at which the characters sit, stand, or otherwise move; the times at which characters enter and exit; and so on.
