shot list basics

What is a shot list? Why is it so important?

A shot list is a list of every shot planned to be taken the future production process, scene by scene. One must imagine all of the necessary shots for the story to be communicated to the audience. This will identify what kind of shot will be taken: angles (low, high, over the shoulder, etc.), framing (wide, closeup, etc.) blocking, lighting, and camera movement. This preproduction process will make the actual day of the shoo much easier and more time efficient. Without a shot list, you will be taking up people's time and money.
