Which device displays the script for actors to read while looking into the camera?

• A. Teleprompter
• B. Clapperboard
• C. Monitor
• D. Script Supervisor

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is which tool lets an actor read lines while still looking straight at the camera. A teleprompter is designed for this purpose. It shows the script on a display placed near the camera lens, often behind a transparent surface, so the actor can read the text and appear to maintain eye contact with the audience. This setup enables natural delivery, steady pacing, and hands-free performance.

The other devices don’t fit this need: a clapperboard marks takes and helps sync audio and video but doesn’t display dialogue to the actor. A monitor is a generic on-set display for the crew or for playback, not typically used for actors to read lines while filming. A script supervisor tracks continuity and notes changes; they don’t provide the page-by-page script for reading during a take.
