That’s the other thing about script supervising: you don’t finish on wrap. You go home and you may do another hour filling out all these forms, putting them in an envelope, and then in the morning they’re all handed to the office and sent through to the editor and various producers. It’s much quicker with the memory stick, because if you can get it done, you can hand it in that evening at wrap. Although that doesn’t normally happen: you’d hand in the daily diary, but you don’t actually have time to finish all the sheets. It would be too quick and you need to make sure you’ve done it correctly and things like that. Particularly the prints, because the editors want to know which takes James said to print. I also tell the prints to the clapper loader who marks it on his camera sheets. Sometimes there’s a discrepancy between what I say the director wants to print and what the clapper loader says, but my word is law and that’s what they go by.
