9 hrs confidence:   lined script
Explanation:
please see the definition from the link:
Lined Script:
A copy of the shooting script which is prepared by the script supervisor during production to indicate, via notations and vertical lines drawn directly onto the script pages, exactly what coverage has been shot. A given vertical line indicates, via the line's start and end point, what script material is covered in a particular shot, and whether given dialog or action is on-screen or off-screen in the shot, indicated by the line changing between straight and wavy respectively. Different colored lines usually represent certain types of shots: close-up, insert, steadicam, etc. Each vertical line is also notated with the slate of the shot (e.g. "3C"), the printed takes (e.g. "1, 3, and 4"), and a brief shot description (e.g. "M2S Rolf & Liza"). The lined script also frequently incorporates the script supervisor's script notes on the facing pages for a given scene. The lined script is used by the film editor as a reference to what coverage was shot and to changes made to the script during production. Lined scripts give editors a quick view of all available coverage at a glance, so that he or she can make quick editing decisions without having to sort through all the footage repeatedly.

32 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +3 main narrative line
Explanation:
I should have thought it ought to be "ligne narrative directrice".
"Storyline" could be used instead of "narrative line", and "narrative thread" would be another legitimate option. If I'm right about "directrice", "guiding" would be more literal, but "main" is the usual expression and I think that's what it means in practice.
"The film's main narrative line concerns the story of Maximus/Russell Crowe and his quest to avenge the murder of his wife and child by the new Emperor of Rome, Commodus/Joaquin Phoenix"

"Narrative line" and "narrative thread" are both perfectly OK here; they are both standard terms in critical discourse and roughly equally common, as indeed are "ligne narrative" and "fil narratif" in French. I slightly prefer "line" here, but take your pick. And as I say, I think "storyline", and indeed "plotline", would be acceptable too, though not "timeline", which is a different matter.
There's an interesting discussion of these metaphors here:
"Stories go places. It is impossible to talk about narrative without using spatial terms, such as “plotline,” “narrative thread,” “twists and turns,” “pacing,” or “circularity.” [...]
One of the few theorists who pauses to consider how appropriate the metaphor of the line is for narrative is J. Hillis Miller in
Ariadne’s Thread: Story Lines. He calls the term narrative line a catachresis [...] First, we must define what we mean by a narrative line. A written text is a continuous line of words on a page, but this is not the line in question. Oral narratives, which have no existence in space, have a storyline to them. Films, even entirely wordless ones, have a narrative line as well [my emphasis]. We must therefore look beyond the language and into the story itself. [...] In the most basic narratives, it would indeed be acceptable to equate the narrative line with the timeline of events. [...] But in more complex texts, narrative line is not to be reduced to chronology."
