I had never done a shot list before, but I had to for this film. I had asked my teacher how to do it but by the time I had taken the time to sit down and do it, I had forgotten everything he said. I had to research through multiple sites and apparently, it isn't a widely talked about skill because I could find anything barely. The websites I did find could have been better at providing straightforward solutions or examples.
Obviously, this is not the best of work when it comes to shot lists. It is very vague about the shots and their details and there are only six shots on the list. My teacher said it was concerning and I agree. Surprisingly, this list was a big help in remembering what we needed to film during our production days.
For the post-production of our film, I needed to fill out the Camera Shot Log, which is a piece of paper with all the shots we took, no matter if they ended up in the film. I think my shot log is much better than my shot list because I add more shots to the list and clear up vague details. It was also surprising to figure out how many takes we did for each shot.
