I mainly work as a Script Supervisor as I have found it to be my niche in the industry. My long term goal is to screenwrite and direct, but for now my current occupation should serve you well as I keep getting better at it one production at a time.

If you access my Photos & Media, you will find a good representation of what I can do as script supervisor. The two documents are from two productions I've worked on. I make the script logs and production reports on Excel and at the end of each week, I email a copy of the script log to the production company in Excel format.

I usually ask for the script to be emailed to me before production starts. Upon receiving it, I print it out, count the number of pages, print out a certain number of script logs to go on the back of each page, and pack a few production reports for each week. This is all kept in a three-ring binder.

I usually need to know the medium that is being used to record the feature ahead of time. This dictates how I format the script log. If it's on HD and uses timecode, I make two columns for starting and ending timecode. If it's being recorded on a hard drive, I make a column for the file name. If it's being recorded on a film roll, I make two columns for starting and ending footage number.

My experience is also as a Production Assistant, Editor, and I was an Editing & Graphic Design Workshop Instructor in the summer of 2006 for a drama camp. As an Editor, I have also co-edited  a two hour feature made by the camp that summer.

I've taken classes on how to use Avid, Media100, and Adobe Premiere and I have used them outside of class as well. Right now I have Sony Vegas on my computer. I have a college degree in cinema and video production and I am a full time freelancer.

The best representation of all that I can do with the degree I have can be found on www.dlarsen.com/media/jonathan. I wrote the script, found my crew, wrote down the interview questions, loaded the 16mm cameras used, and filmed and edited the project myself.
