Study Notes
Shot List
A shot list is a detailed document outlining every camera setup and shot needed to capture the footage required for a film, TV show, or commercial.
Script Breakdown
- A crucial step in creating a shot list, script breakdown involves:
- Dividing the script into manageable chunks (e.g., scenes, beats, or shots)
- Identifying key elements, such as characters, locations, and props
- Determining the tone, mood, and pacing of each scene
- Noting any specific camera, lighting, or sound requirements
Camera Angles
- A shot list should specify the desired camera angle for each shot, including:
- Establishing shots (ES): wide, establishing the setting
- Wide shots (WS): capturing the subject from head to toe
- Medium shots (MS): framing the subject from the waist up
- Close-ups (CU): focusing on a specific detail or facial expression
- Over the shoulder (OTS): capturing a character's reaction
- Point-of-view (POV): showing what a character sees
- Cutaways: inserting a separate shot to add context or interest
Storyboarding
- A visual representation of the shot list, a storyboard:
- Illustrates each shot, including camera angles and composition
- Helps the director, cinematographer, and other crew members visualize the sequence
- Allows for adjustments and refinement before filming begins
- Can be created by hand or using software like TVP Animation Pro or Storyboard Pro
Post-production Planning
- A shot list should consider post-production requirements, including:
- Audio needs, such as dialogue, sound effects, and music
- Visual effects (VFX) and CGI requirements
- Editing style and pacing
- Color grading and color correction needs
- Sound design and mixing considerations
Filming Schedules
- A shot list is used to create a filming schedule, which:
- Outlines the order in which shots will be captured
- Allocates time and resources for each shot
- Takes into account factors like location, lighting, and talent availability
- Helps the production team stay on track and manage their time efficiently
