Shot Listing

When shot listing we have to take our formated Celtx script we have to think about putting our scripts into shots. By doing this it makes the days of production a lot simpler and gives both director and camera man a better idea of what is needed on the day. Another great use of a shot list is so that no shots are forgotten during the day and in editing continuity stays coherant.
As a class we have all made a shot list of the "shoes" script, this was not to challenging as the script is very basic and self explanatory. Nethertheless a good insight into what has to be done. For example the layout, starting with the obvious, title, then same as the script with the slug ling (INT/EXT...LOCATION/TIME OF DAY) then into the way ou will shot the film on the day. A Good book incase any one is struggling is "Producing and Directing: The Short Film and Video" (Peter Rea, David Irving. 2006) This books talks to you about shot listingfor those struggling to get it.
