Q calling Where, When, Who, What & Why?

Normally when I get a script as an SM or Director. the first thing I do is acquire an extra copy, not suggesting I actually photocopy the script or even type it on to the computer. heaven forbid that is a breach of copyright! With this extra copy, that mysteriously appears, I mount it on a blank sheet of paper [A$ or Whatever]. However this is sometimes not necessary, as script may be only printed on one side, so need to have an extra one - which is a rarity. With the script on one side & blank on the other, I put them into a ring binder. So this gives me a blank paper on one side to put cues in or other scribbles. This works if you are left or right handed, just paper punch to suit. I have worked with bibles which use clear plastic envelopes, with the script inside. Not a bad idea but I can never seam to use it. Because just turning a page the script can move about, which can be a drama, especially when a specific cue is actioned on a certain word or whatever, with stick ons or other markings on the plastic. I like to draw a line & indicate the act place in the script for each cue. Also even draw a line straight down, on the left hand margin, if a cue such as sound & even lighting carries on thru the script to the next cue - so at a glance you know what the cue state at that time. I'm sure others use their own preferred way, so feel free to post you may have a better idea you would like to share!
