La función de continuista o script es uno de los puestos más importantes en la elaboración de una película en cine o televisión. También se le suele llamar secretaria de rodaje. Durante mucho tiempo, e incluso ahora, la función de script era desempeñada, y casi exclusivamente, por mujeres. La script tiene que tener una gran capacidad de observación, porque un fallo puede convertirse en una pérdida de dinero y de tiempo. Tiene que estar al lado del director, pero también controlando el trabajo que se realiza en el set de rodaje para que todo salga tal como sale en el guión y que tengan las secuencias una continuidad en todos los aspectos. 1, record 5, Spanish, - secretaria%20de%20rodaje
