# Lined script > The script supervisor's copy of the shooting script, marked with vertical lines showing which camera setups covered which lines of each scene — the editor's map of what was shot. Also known as: script supervisor's lined script, tramline script ## In practice Each vertical line drawn down a page stands for one camera setup: where it starts and stops shows exactly which action and dialogue that setup covers. A wavy stretch of line commonly marks lines a character speaks off camera in that setup. Facing the lined pages, the script supervisor keeps notes on every setup: take numbers, which takes the director preferred, timings, lens details, and continuity such as which hand held the cup. Together they let an editor find coverage for any line without scrubbing through footage, and let a later pickup shot match what was already filmed. For writers, the lined script is where the page's journey ends — script lines become shots. Dialogue changed on the day shows up here, which is why script supervisors also log departures from the page. It depends on stable scene and page numbers from the locked script. ## Common questions ### What does a script supervisor do? Tracks what was actually shot against the script: lining coverage, logging takes and timings, noting dialogue changes, and keeping continuity consistent from shot to shot. ### What do the lines on a lined script mean? Each vertical line is one camera setup, drawn over the part of the scene it covers. A wavy section commonly marks lines where that character is off camera in the shot. ### Is a lined script the same as the shooting script? It starts as a copy of the locked shooting script and becomes a record of coverage. The shooting script says what to shoot; the lined script shows what was shot. ## Related terms - [Shooting script](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/shooting-script): The production draft: scene numbers, locks, and revision marks — the document departments schedule and shoot from, not the clean selling draft. - [Locked script](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/locked-script): A shooting draft whose page and scene numbers are frozen so every department shares one numbering scheme. After lock, changes become marked revisions instead of silently reshuffling the whole script. - [Scene number](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/scene-number): A production number attached to a scene heading so every department refers to the same unit — Scene 42 stays Scene 42 after a lock, even if pages shift. - [Call sheet](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/call-sheet): The plan for one shoot day: call times, the location, the scenes and pages being shot, which cast and crew are called and when, and notes such as weather, parking, and safety. --- Canonical page:
