ABSTRACT
When shooting on videotape, there is likely to be a monitor on location. This is immensely useful as it makes the job of giving an accurate shot description very simple. There is also the facility, in matters of dispute over continuity, of being able to play back the tape. But this facility should be used sparingly, as it wastes time on location and can lead to the general cry of ‘let’s play it back’ over the smallest query.
