Creating A Shot List

During the phases of pre-production, a crucial step is creating different documents that will help you in the future during shooting. One of these documents is called a shot list, and what it consists of is given away by its name. A shot list is a list of shots for the shooting phase of your production. This document helps give you a more visual representation of the shots that you need in order to create your movie. The shot list also gives the crew an idea of locations for shoots and how long the shoots on certain days will take. A shot list is essential to your production because it helps you lay out what shots you need to finish on certain days of production. Without even a simple shot list, your production can, and will, easily go down hill from the beginning.
