Teaser Plan: Shot List

Shot Lists

Shot Lists are very basic but clear outlines of what the trailer, as well as the film, will entail. Whilst planning and configuring the bases of our story, I made a rough shot list of the different shots that we would like our trailer to have. The shot list made it clear, because it sets out the basic shots and the principles that come with it.

For example, we have a low angle shot of the killer, and the principle of this was to show that he is the most powerful character out of them all. Although this is not the finished shot list, it gave me a clearer angle of what the storyline of the film would be.

The shot list links to the storyboard, as after I created the shot list, I used it to draw up the many different shot lists of the trailer. We haven’t figured out the ending of our film, and it’s a working progress, but the shot list gave me the initial ending of the trailer.
