Continuity

Inputs

• A brief, script, plan, or approved source material

Outputs

• A documented handoff for the next department

Handoffs

• Confirm assumptions, owner, timing, and review point.

In practice

Script supervision and departments track performance, timing, props, wardrobe, hair, makeup, lighting, camera, sound, and screen direction so separately photographed material can cut together. Deliberate discontinuity is a creative choice; accidental mismatch is a preventable handoff failure.
