BLOG QUESTION: SHOT LISTS

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

A shot list is a list of shots that gives you an idea of what shots you want in your movie. It's the "edited" version of the movie in your head. You go through your movie scene by scene and make a list of all the shots you need for each scene. It is important to create a shot list because it allows you to shoot as quickly and efficiently as possible, and it helps you organize what you want your film to look like. It allows you to organize your shots in groups (ex. shots of character A and character B) in order to make the filming process smoother. It also helps you save time by not having to turn your camera and set up everything all over again.
