As a script supervisor, handling foreign language films always adds an extra hurdle. Having the original language in my script (along with the English translation) is a big help—as is having a performer who is fluent in the language. Another challenge: keeping continuity when there’s only one character. This seems like it would make things simpler, but when we have no other characters to cut away to, I have to make sure that each shot of our character will cut properly in the edit with the next shot of the same character in perfect continuity.
