Shot List - Planning

What is Shot List

A shot list is a list and a mapped-out version of all shots in order in the film that need to be done. It functions like a check list. This allows us as film makers to prepare what shots we to do. Since I have Identified all the shots now it is easier.

The Scene that will we be Replicating Shot List

The Matrix (1999)

This scene is a longer version than what we will be doing but here an example of what a shot list looks like:
