Screenplays (especially shooting scripts) have to be checked carefully for logic errors; that includes the issue as to how a character knows something about another character's experiences.

"Reverse Film School": what does a script supervisor do for the finished product?
“Reverse Film School:
What Happens When a Movie Has No Script Supervisor?” posted by Vanity
Fair.
A lawyer (at his desk) and client (sitting in front of
him) have a conversation. A female script supervisor points out all the logic
errors in the segment.
At one point, the lawyer seems to have teleported
himself in the room. That makes sense
only if he is an alien and a superman (like Clark Kent from Smallville). Never mind that I once saw a teenager do
that. Maybe (benevolent, angelic) aliens
are with us.
The wardrobe discontinuity is interesting. In some gay male videos, sometimes shirts appear
rebuttoned suddenly. Look at this one. he guy in the green shirt should have kept the
second placket shirt button closed until the intimacy started, to maintain
continuity (and body suspense).

There’s another process called script clearance. We'll cover that soon.
