Feedback from previous participants:
"Beth's course gave me an ideal grounding in the techniques and skills I needed to successfully complete my first job. I had a detailed understanding of what the role entails and how the work is key to the consistency and editing of any production."
The course covered everything I was hoping it would. Beth is certainly very experienced in her field and she covered most, if not all avenues of script supervision, in that short time very well.
The application process was fair and not overly daunting; it didnt exclude or deter anyone with less experience from applying but who was still eager to be involved.
The information received prior to the course provided a welcome insight into what we would be covering in the workshop. The materials supplied on the day were extremely valuable as they provided examples, templates, lists and references to learn from and work with all that would assist in raising ones confidence if/when working as a script supervisor. The USB to back-up all the information was a bonus.
Good class size, as the tutor was able to focus on everyone. The workshop was very thorough."
It was useful to learn about the way in which the script supervisor interacts with all the other members of the crew, and Beth was very clear about what are and are not the responsibilities of the role. It has made me feel quite confident of carrying out my first job as a script supervisor.
It's a good idea to have a workshop for script supervising and continuity because the books I have read on it are about 10 years old and so are a bit outdated, as practices seem to be advancing all the time. It was useful to see what essential factors of the job remain the same and an idea is given about the future of script supervisor role and how we should expect that the job will be carried out in a couple of years time as well as the current state of things.
I enjoyed meeting Beth and learning from her experience and first-hand knowledge. It opened my eyes to an on-set role I had a great interest but limited experience in. Beth was very encouraging but kept us on our toes asking us questions and making us use our heads rather than simply feed us the information. This made the workshop all the more enjoyable and motivating.
