The Shot List (film industry document)

A shot list is a detailed document used in filmmaking that outlines every camera shot planned for a scene. It specifies the type of shot (e.g., wide, close-up), camera angles, movements, and specific actions or framing needed. Created by the director or cinematographer, it helps organize filming efficiently, ensuring all important visual elements are captured, and serves as a communication tool for the entire crew. Essentially, it's a blueprint that guides the filming process to achieve the desired storytelling and visual style.
