Script Supervisor Liaison

he practice of an editor establishing a strong working relationship with the script supervisor to gain crucial on-set context that isn't apparent from the footage alone. Editor Kate Sanford describes the script supervisor as her "eyes and ears," a source for understanding director's intentions, on-set conversations, and the reasons behind missing coverage or performance variations. This backchannel of information allows the editor to approach the director with more informed, diplomatic solutions to editorial problems.
