tuesday - script supervisor

 We had another session with the script supervisor! I really enjoyed it actually. 

Things I learned from the session;

• -audio terms: split-track -  the left and right audio channel pick up different sounds 
• wild track: the wild track or room tone consists of the barely audible noises that make up a background sense of quiet. 
• camera - rolls - every time you change the SD card is a new roll.
• script supervisor jobs - continuity, helps the assistant editor with their daily slate log especially noting the ep and scene,
• American slating vs English: 
• How American Slating works: Applying this style you treat scene and slate as an unambiguous unit. The naming of these scene-slate-combinations starts with the scene name itself, followed by letters in alphabetical order. So on a Clapper, you would see something like 9, 9A, 9B, 9C and then 10, 10A …
• How European Slating works: Think of a scene as an instance and of a slate as an instance on its own. All scenes (e. g. 9 and 10) are divided into several slates. These slates are numbered from 1 on. Same Example: so on a Clapper, you would see something like 9/1, 9/2, 9/3, 9/4 and then 10/1, 10/2 …
• MOS -  mute on sound
• eighths of a page - pages are broken in eights when figuring out how many pages a scene takes up

We were given a task to complete a scene breakdown. Here is a bit of my attempt

What I learned from this:

• Story day - Script supervisor should try to figure out what day (within the context of the story) a scene takes place
• Made me appreciate just how short most scenes are

We've been given a timing task to do which I will attempt tomorrow
