OMIT / OMITTED
Also: OMITTED
OMIT, or OMITTED, is the label that replaces a deleted scene in a locked shooting script. Rather than removing scene 47 and renumbering everything after it, the script keeps the number and marks it "47 OMITTED," so the deletion is visible and every later scene number stays exactly where it was.
Deleting a scene from a locked script is a record, not an erasure. The scene's number remains in sequence with the word OMITTED, telling the crew the scene is gone while protecting the numbering of everything around it.
This matters because an omitted scene's number may already appear on schedules and call sheets. Marking it OMITTED rather than deleting it keeps those documents coherent and signals the change explicitly.
