Script Supervisor Templates (Free PDF Forms)

Which sheet do you need, and when?

• During every take — Script Supervisor Notes. The running log: scene, setup, take, camera and sound roll, lens, MOS or sync, and which takes are circled. If you only print one form, print this one.
• Between setups — Script Continuity Sheet. Beat by beat: which hand held the glass, screen direction, eyelines, hero props and what has to be reset. This is what you check against when the reverse is shot hours later.
• When camera moves — Camera Continuity Log. Frame line, lens, height, distance and movement, so pickups and second unit can match the original setup.
• At wrap — Daily Progress Report. The script supervisor's daily report: pages scheduled vs completed, setups, estimated screen time and causes of loss. It goes to production alongside the DPR.
• For editorial — Circle Take / Editor Notes. Selects, alternates, overlap and performance notes, so the cutting room knows what the director liked and why.

How to use these forms well

Keep one numbering system across every sheet. The scene and setup numbers on your notes have to match the slate, the camera report and the sound report, or editorial spends a day reconciling them. Write continuity as states, not descriptions: "glass in right hand, half full" can be matched; "holding a drink" can't. And file the daily progress report the same day. It is the number tomorrow's schedule gets re-cut from.

For the bigger picture of the job, read our guide to script supervising and continuity log sheets. Other departments' continuity forms (wardrobe and costume, hair and makeup, props) are in the full template library.
