Comment [A Continuity Manifest for Short Scene Takes](https://hashnode.com/posts/a-continuity-manifest-for-short-scene-takes/6af46481a9e190ce8fb413ba)

The line about not manufacturing continuity with an effect stuck with me — if a long dissolve is doing the work of hiding a different counter, the take is wrong, not the transition. I also liked the discipline of writing the room first: window, surface, and light as a small admission test before any new take gets judged. The keep/trim/replace statuses with a reason you could act on later feel like the part most people would skip, but it is what makes the manifest usable a week later instead of only on the day you wrote it.
