What is a continuity supervisor?

Continuity Supervisors, also known as script supervisors, are responsible for ensuring consistency throughout a film or television production. They keep detailed notes on each scene, tracking details such as actor positions, props, costumes, and dialogue to avoid errors between shots. Their work helps maintain visual and narrative coherence, so viewers don't notice discrepancies in editing. Continuity Supervisors work closely with directors, camera crews, and editors to ensure smooth and believable storytelling.
