FAQs

What is a Shot List?

A shot list is a detailed document that outlines all the specific shots to be captured in a film, video, or photo shoot. It includes the order of shots, framing, movement, and other crucial details necessary for directing and organizing the production effectively.

What does a shot list usually include?

A typical shot list includes details like the shot number, scene number, location, description of the shot, camera angles, movement, equipment needed, and the type of lens to be used. It may also specify the actors involved and any special instructions for the crew.

Who prepares the shot list?

The shot list is usually prepared by the director and cinematographer in collaboration with other department heads such as the production manager and first assistant director. This ensures that all aspects of the shoot are well-coordinated.

Do you need a shot list for animation?

Yes, a shot list is highly beneficial for animation projects as well. It helps in planning and organizing animation sequences, detailing what will occur in each scene, including character movements, timing, and camera angles. This ensures that the animation team has a clear understanding of the project’s visual narrative and technical requirements, making the production process more efficient.

What is the difference between a storyboard and a shot list?

A storyboard is a visual representation of the scenes in a project, depicting key moments with illustrations or images. It provides a visual layout of how the story will unfold. A shot list, on the other hand, is more detailed and text-based, outlining specific technical requirements for each shot.
