movie slate marker

When using letters to denote shots of a scene on the slate, always skip the letters that can be confused with numbers:

  • Scene 47F
  • Scene 47G
  • Scene 47H
  • (Skip the letter ‘I’ – Looks like the number 1)
  • Scene 47J
  • Scene 47K
  • (Skip the letter ‘L’ – Looks like the number 1)
  • Scene 47M
  • Scene 47N
  • (Skip the letter ‘O’ – Looks like the number 0)
  • Scene 47P
  • etc…

This will save you lots of time down the road matching things up in the edit, especially if you have shot double-system sound.
