Research/Planning for Portfolio Project

                              Hey readers! I hope everyone is having the best day and is ready to learn about today's topic. The topic of this blog post is the 'Only Mine' shot list. I am excited to explain this topic because it describes the exact plan and setting for my film. With that being said, let us get right into it! 

          A shot list is a document that plans out everything that will happen in each scene of a film. In other words, a shot list describes each shot within a film. A shot list serves as a checklist, giving the project a sense of direction and preparedness for the film crew. In addition, a shot list is usually made in collaboration with the cinematographer, assistant director, and director. Shot lists also do a great job at connecting with the designated shooting schedule. Shot lists lets the film creator organize the shots or clips of each scene, relating to the shooting schedule. 

      Developing a film requires camera movement, actor staging, shot type, etc. A shot list offers all of these elements. Additionally, putting this information in your shot list allows filmmakers to remember what they wanted and how to execute it. Shot lists allow the director or production team to know what has been completed and what needs to be completed.

These are the shot lists for both trailers of 'Only Mine'! Make sure to read through each one and let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. These shot lists will give you an idea of what to expect from each trailer and are the basis of each trailer. Please note that these lists may change, however each shot list  provides the foundation for 'Only Mine'. I am so excited for what is to come and thank you guys again for checking in today!
