Revised Listing: Wanted, Script Guru

BECAUSE WE'RE MAKING A STORY BOARD, NOT QUITE A MOVIE, THE SCRIPT GURU THAT I NEED WOULD BE ABLE TO READ MY BLOG ENTRIES, OUTLINES & SUMMARIES, CHRIS' SHOTLISTS,  OUTLINES & SUMMARIES, WATCH THE RAW FOOTAGE, KEEP UP WITH QUICKTIME STORYBOARD, AND TURN IT INTO A SCREENPLAY. 

SO THE JOB DESCRIPTION IS: 

a member of a film crew responsible for maintaining the motion picture's internal continuity and for recording the production unit's daily progress in shooting the film's screenplay. ... In pre-production, the script supervisor creates a number of reports based on the script, including a one-line continuity synopsis providing basic information on each scene such as the time of day, day in story order, and a one line synopsis of the scene. ... For every take, the script supervisor will note the duration of the take (usually with a stopwatch) and meticulously log information about the action of the take, including position of the main actor(s), screen direction of their movement, important actions performed during the shot, type of lens used, and additional information which may vary from case to case. When multiple cameras are in use, the script supervisor keeps separate notes on each. ... The script supervisor is responsible for keeping the most current version of the shooting script. During shooting, the script supervisor notates any changes from the screenplay that are made by the actors, director or others during the actual filming process.  

OUR GURU WOULD BE WATCHING THE IMPROV REHEARSALS BETWEEN DIANA & NENA, AND WOULD EXPAND ON AND/OR MAKE ANNOTATIONS ON THE ACTORS' CHOICES IN THE SCENES EDITED INTO THE QUICKTIME STORYBOARD.

The script supervisor is the primary liaison between the director (who decides what scenes are to be shot) and the editor (who is usually not present during actual filming but needs to have exact records of the filming in order to do the job of cutting the film together.) The script supervisor is a technical rather than artistic position and is generally considered as part of the producer's or studio's staff. There is usually only one script supervisor on a given film production. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script_supervisor)

IN THE INSTANCE OF KESKAREL, WE NEED A SCRIPT GURU WHO IS A WRITER - I.E., ARTISTIC BUT WITH TECHNIQUE. NOW THAT I'VE WRITTEN THIS, I REALIZE YOU'D HAVE TO PAY ME $60K A YEAR TO DO THIS. $60K IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. BUT THIS THE FIRST JOB I'M GOING TO SEEK FUNDING TO STIPEND.
