Overview
The camera continuity log documents important technical and organizational information related to recorded footage throughout production. This includes details such as scene and take information, camera settings, lens and filter data, media tracking, and other production records associated with camera operations. The log is for projects without an assigned script supervisor.
Accurate continuity logging helps editorial and post-production teams organize footage more efficiently and reduces confusion when reviewing large amounts of material across multiple shooting days. Consistent logging practices also reinforce the importance of communication, organization, and technical record-keeping within professional production workflows.
Instructions
The Camera Continuity Log is to be used only on shows that do not have a Script Supervisor. The report is completed by the 2nd AC. If the project does have a Script Supervisor, then the 2nd AC should use a Camera Report instead.
