Planning: Shot List - Miss Begum

What is a shot list? why is it important?

A shot list is schedule of all cinematography techniques that we are intended to use while filming our opening thriller. This is created after drawing the storyboard narration because it has enough details for you to use and list exactly all the frame. The shot list include angle, movements and sizes that we will use with quick notes on what they will display which is beneficial because it allows us to stay organised and film the opening thriller quickly and professionally.



The advantages of a shot list:
  • allows to structure your sequence in greater detail
  • helps the cinematographers when filming
  • helps to decide whether there is enough range in your cinematography
  • plans exactly what to use and when
  • can be used at any stage of filming
  • can be referred to when someone gets stuck
  • easy to create
  • simple to follow
  • easy to adjust if needed.

Conclusion:

Overall, after creating this shot list was beneficial because it allows us to stay organised and plan our cinematography we intended to use without repeating the same one. Additionally, it was easy to create and will be taken when filming so everything stay in order.
