Film Training with No Course Beginning and No Ending—How's That Possible?

by Jim Kelly Durgin

That’s right! All students in this program have a beginning date of their own but there is no start point for the course. When the Association of Film Craftsmen Local 531N.A.B.E.T., AFL-CIO, CLC hired me to train their Script Supervisors a long time ago, I designed the program to permit its membership to work on film projects, miss several of the course sessions if needed and not to be punished by missing some of the sessions. The missed sessions could then be made up at another time without penalty.

That Union Local 531, which has since merged with the I.A.T.S.E., recommended to each of its members at that time to specialize in TWO JOB CATEGORY FILM SKILLS in order to assure more continuous employment in this life-time career of temporary employment. I still recommend expertise in TWO JOB  CATEGORIES today. We can train you in a second well-paid category of film work for more continuous employment.

Since the Script Supervisor job itself is composed of several different chores, it was an easy opportunity to train students with no start point and no finish point in the course. Once each student learns how to perform each of the numerous chores taught in the series of lecture sessions, in whichever order, the student then has the required skills and knows how to do the job. Then each student enters the course's On-The-Job Training phase with individual tutoring until becoming professional, at no additional charge.

An additional advantage to this style of training is that each student may take each session as many times as desired at no extra charge, including the entire course. Each lecture session in the course is packed with voluminous how-to-do-it information which is provided in a short period of time. Recognizing that each individual student has a separate personal learning curve, some verbal, some spatial, some numerical, this no start point approach allows a considerably higher degree of training and professionalism based on individual needs for each and every student. To each his/her own. None to be left behind.

If you took quite readily to map reading from first exposure to a map, for example, then most likely the two dimensional motion picture story telling procedures within the rigid rules of the Screen Direction topics which are provided in this course might be much more easily absorbed by you than by others without this gift. For some of the students still struggling to discover where they are located in the three dimensional lay of the land in reference to the two dimensional printing on the map, the two dimensional Screen Direction topics would be much more of a challenge. They may need to attend those topics more than once, even several times for some. That’s okay. I do not want anyone lousy out there by being partly trained or poorly
trained, especially in Screen Direction. Every student MUST be amongst the best by meeting the highest standards of performance! It’s not just a coincidence that so many of Hollywood’s biggest Producers are hiring my grads.

Come sit in a free audit session. There is no charge, you should learn quite a bit about film that you do not know at this time, and, if you do subscribe to the program, you could have the advantage of joining many of the “Big guns” of the industry and work on many of Hollywood’s biggest pictures! Script Supervising is the stepping-stone to Directing, Actors and Writers would learn how to perform far superior in those categories, and many Production Managers, Producers, and even Distributors have started as Script  Supervisors.

By the way, if you are a working Script Supervisor, trained by someone else and wish to upgrade your skills to a higher more efficient skill level, the school does provide a substantial course discount for our more advanced training.
