PLANNING: CREATE SHOT LIST

When you have completed your post on your Treatment, the next step is to create a shot list, then call sheets for each shoot. (Info on call sheets below this.) 

A shot list helps you organize the order of your edit, so that you think of the whole narrative arc. 
Start a draft version. It may change during the edit. 
This is a group task so work together on one Word document. Some people find a collaborative document like Google Docs useful so that you can all access the same document.
Below is an example, made in Word, for the start of a 30 second TV commercial (open link) made for Young Enterprise.

Look at each line from left to right across. The first box SOUND: LOVE HOME BAKING? describes what we hear (such as dialogue, music), the second box VISION is what we see at the same time (live action), the third box ACTORS notes the actors needed, then look to the right for the props PROPS.

Then drop down to read the next shot. 

 

 

 

 

CREATE CALL SHEETS FOR EACH SHOOT

Each group will produce a call sheet for each shoot. 

A call sheet 'calls to action' the people, props and equipment for a shoot. It makes you look super organized!

Share the work: one person can do the call sheet for a shoot and another person can do the next one. Easy to prepare in advance!

Do not post your phone number, address, email or any private identifying details online.

Just let your group have it on the paper handout that you will each have for each shoot
