From the pilot script ...
The woman nods and Jimmy sits on the edge of her desk, *
taking the corner of the mustache and then ripping it off. *
The woman squeals, but when she picks her head up we now *
see the real face of LOIS LANE, intrepid reporter for the *
Daily Planet. Lois is a twenty-six year old spitfire with
a "Just Do It" body. Momentarily forgetting her pain, *
Lois pulls out a tiny video recorder from her jacket, sets *
it on her desk and Dresses Play. *
LOIS
(proudly) *
I nailed 'em cold. *
We MOVE IN to the tiny picture on the video screen and *
then *
CUT TO: *
9 INT. DAILY PLANET NEWSROOM - TWO HOURS LATER 9*
We are still watching the video playback from Lois' *
adventures from the previous night -- Lois, in her young *
man get-up, helps make the arrest of a band of car thieves *
at the Metropolis pier.
I realise that sometimes what ended up on the screen is different to what is in the scripts, but I find the scripts a much easier and quicker resource to use.
At one stage in the writing/production process, it was meant to be a video camera.
Corrina.
