**In partnership with ITV Academy who is supporting work experience for this certificate** - This part-time course is delivered both in-person at our base in Leeds (1 Friday and Saturday per month for 5 months) and online for tutorials and 1-2-1s. This course has been created in response to high industry demand. It is designed to thoroughly train you in becoming a Script Supervisor, so on leaving the course, you’ll have all the knowledge you need for starting out in the professional world.
When people start working in film and television, very few consider a career as a script supervisor. Most people haven't even heard of the role and many people working on set have no idea what the job entails. They may see someone sitting with the director, furiously taking notes, being at the heart of those creative discussions and wonder what they are doing. Well, that is the script supervisor, the editor's eyes on set, a technical and creative role, overseeing onset continuity, advising on film grammar, working with talent and keeping extensive notes of the whole project to make sure we avoid those costly errors.
