Changes to Script & Continuity credits

Hi all,

Just a quick announcement regarding Script & Continuity credits listed on IMDb.

In our continued efforts to accurately reflect the work of those in the industry and expand our ability to display data in the most authentic way - we'll be moving a large number of credits relating to Script & Continuity into their own category.

This process will take a couple of days to complete, so you may see some changes happening around these roles. Once all the changes have been completed, we'll respond on this thread to let you know. 

If you believe you have credits listed on your page which should be moved into this new department, please do not submit an update until we confirm the process has been completed as this may impact the migration.

You can find a new article on our help site which provides some more context to the roles - for example:

Script & Continuity
This department includes all jobs and functions related to the process of translating a script from paper to screen, including:

• Overseeing and preserving continuity

• Maintaining various drafts of a screenplay

• Creating and annotating the shooting script

• Generally ensuring the structural integrity of the story to facilitate the process of editing scenes seamlessly.

These jobs include:

• Script supervisors and coordinators

• Script editors

• Continuity supervisors 

• and more! 

The script department only includes production jobs - script related jobs for members of the screenwriting staff (like story editors) still belong to the writers list

It also only includes script continuity jobs - visual or sound continuity tasks (e.g. animation or storyboard continuity, adr continuity, etc.) belong to those respective departments (animation department, art department, sound department etc.)

If you have any questions about this, please feel free to reach out via the Contact Form.

Thanks all,

Joel
