Planning - Producing A Shot List

The importance of the shot list is that it helps us organised the camera shot, angle and movements in into each shot and with each actor in chronological order. This will help us when filming as we know all there is to know for each shot.

The shot list is essential for our film is a great way to improve the planning of our film.

For example, we have 5 separate locations that we are filming in therefore the shot list will help us to get all of our filming done in each location correctly and will minimize errors that could occur.

It’s an opportunity to see what our film will look like on the screen before starting to do the storyboard.
