Shot List

   Today I made a shot list. I used a website called Celtx to write my script, manage my shots, create my shot list, and any other part of pre production that I would need. For my shot list, I went through my script and picked out essential shots. By essential, I mean that these are shots that need to happen in the film to help make it what I want it to be. Of course when Im filming I can get other shots, and definitely will, but these are just a guideline to follow. For example, during scene 3, I will probably just film the whole scene from one character's perspective, and then re-do the whole conversation from a few other angles to just get more variety. I plan on overshooting every scene, with different exposures, different audio levels, and with different lighting to help limit the chance that I need to reshoot. I really need to try and get this shoot done in one night because of a few reasons. One, this film is going to consist of me borrowing equipment from friends and I don't want to keep it longer than necessary. Two, four actors are going to be hard to get over and over. And three, I don't want the shots to look different on different days because of bad weather or anything that I cannot control.
