Yes, shotlist seems very close to that. If not one sheet, then what sheets does the Script Supervisor need to work with?

I think what I need is something that has numbers of scenes, shots, sound, takes, and then camera angles, director's comments, soundman's comments and props description.

Very soon I'm going to be a Script Supervisor for a small production. I need a website with all the standard (I repeat, standard) examples of working sheets the Script Supervisor need. Because I find many different and altered sheets on google. I never saw them, never had a chance to work with...

This is easy Do you have a job? Do you hate your boss? Exaggerate his main characteristics. Generate some ideas how you wanna kill him. And does this boss have a hot secretary? You wanna try something with her, but the boss stands in your way. Think how you wanna impress her and get the boss...

I think it's not about "how many", it's about "how often". They probably shouldn't be too close to each other by the movie timing. But if we're talking about numbers, I think the magic number is 3. Everything that is repeatable in movies, comes up 3 times. In most cases, the number of...

I do record the data, but I have nothing to do with the camera or the sound, besides recording the data and keeping the camera and the sound on the same shots. And later I sorted the video files by scenes and shots. This is what I was doing most of the time. Supervising the script wasn't...

Well, I think it's some kind of AD. Probably AD, if following your description. Script supervisor maybe, but no camera assist or sound. It hasn't begun yet, I've still got 3 hrs before it does. :)

I mainly deal with locations within the scene, like where an actor stands, and where all the items/furniture/props should be in the scene. Think of it as a creation of a room for the casting crew to work further on. Another part of my job is to track all shooting takes. Yes, I understand why it...

Co-Director does different things than the director. Moreover, we got one day for preparation and shooting. They want it all done quickly.

We got like 1 hr to prepare :lol: I mean more practical tips, you know, like being more pushy, dominating, or be "a good soldier" ?

Tomorrow I start co-directing a short movie. I must say, it felt suddenly on me. Just today morning I've found a request, titled "Co-Director with experience needed...". I was answered within a few hours, told them that I've got some experience. I am already a Co-Director in another movie, but...

I vote for the 2nd idea. I like political-crime movies :)

Well, it happens many times in movies, when a characters talks too much. Like you know, somebody tells he saw his parents murdered when he was young, and how he joined a local gang, and grew up to run a whole mafia, and how he wants to teach a lesson to this cruel world... Just another cliche...

They key word is the "if" :) Until I get to that level, De Niro can wait :) It works. But then I get rid of the "jibber jabber", and I feel like I'm losing the character too. And then, when I read the shortened dialogue lines, I envision my character as a robot, not as a bad guy with an...

Maybe he really has to say much. Some sort of revelation, or a childhood story. I can write it shortly, but that will lose the style the character talks.

Yeah, but even if you don't use the "jibber jabber", you won't write a dialogue as a block of text under the name of the character. There will be other things on the scene. Something will happen DURING his speech. So there will be action lines, which describe what happens. For example...

There are movies with LOOOOOONG conversations. And no, they do not consist "Hey whats up!", "I'm fine" and all those excess words. They are between different people, who join the scene, have a conversation with someone, and leave. The scene goes on and the characters have so much to say. Many...

PhantomScreenwriter, as someone who wants to have a screenwriting career, should I see Australia as a potential English-speaking country to sell my script to? Do they shoot scripts from foreign countries? I'm asking because I've seen a lot of Australian agencies and production companies on the...

I know, but I created this topic more than a week ago and already got good answers, so I won't create another one. But I'd be glad if the moderators move it to another forum :)

As I already said: And UK is an English speaking country (the mother of English!), so it is easier for them to distribute movies across the world. Well, a filmmaker DOES have an audience in mind, otherwise why would he make the movie? But still, this is nearly what I'm saying - they don't...
