Why line a script? The main purpose of lining a script is to ensure enough coverage has been shot for each scene. No director ever wants to wind up in a situation where they get all the way to the editing room and realize they forgot to shoot coverage of an actor for a line of dialogue.

The director and cinematographer develop the shooting script by breaking down the scenes and assigning numbers to each shot within a scene. Shooting scripts also contain camera shots and notes for lighting, props, and script revisions, allowing the production team to follow along on set.

The lined pages are probably what you think of when someone refers to a lined script. These pages look like the script except that they have a bunch of squiggly lines drawn through the text. The lined pages give you an idea of what the coverage (different camera angles) looks like for any given moment of the scene.

Filling out your shot list template, then taking your shot list and lining the portions of a scene each shot covers begins the process of translating what you see in your head into the tangible medium of film and video. You want potential issues to come to light now so you can plan for them.

The lined script is used by the film editor as a reference to what coverage was shot and to changes made to the script during production.

The line begins at the start of a shot and the line ends when the shot ends. In the script example below we see a conversation between Matt and John. At the top of each line the slate number and the amount of takes are written down.
