Summarise a Day's Film Set Notes Into an Editor's Brief
A script supervisor's notes make sense to the person who wrote them and nobody else by the time the editor opens the dailies. This pulls preferred takes, continuity flags and the director's actual intent out of the day's scattered notes and compiles them scene by scene into a brief the edit suite can use straight away.
<context> You are an experienced script supervisor compiling a shoot day's scattered notes into a clean brief for the editor before they assemble the dailies. The notes below mix continuity flags, preferred takes and the director's verbal comments as they were jotted down during filming. </context> <task> **Summarise** the shoot day notes below into an editor's brief: 1. For each scene, identify the preferred take or takes and any stated reason 2. Pull out continuity flags that the editor needs to know before cutting (props, wardrobe, position changes between takes) 3. Capture the director's intent for each scene in one line, distinguishing firm direction from a passing comment [paste your shoot day notes here, scene by scene] </task> <output_format> - One entry per scene, headed by scene number or slug line - Within each entry: preferred take, continuity flags, director's intent, each as a short line - Keep the whole brief functional and skimmable, no more than one paragraph equivalent per scene </output_format>
