Definition: List of shots used to plan or manage the shooting process of the film.
Example of a Shot List...
What is the purpose of the Shot List?
Portrays all the Shots that will be included in our film and is useful on the day of the shooting working in accompaniment with the storyboards. The Shots are in chronological order and details of lighting/depth and focus are included.
What were the challenges?
Sometimes we left out details of depth and focus which we later had to discuss, another challenge was we wanted a variety of shots but weren't sure exactly if we wanted to use them. In our minds we wanted to make full use of our Location London so made sure wide shots for example were included, but we were not sure what exactly would look best there.

Looking at the Shots we planned to incorporate we anticipated some problems that might occur during the day of production; Firstly with the wide shot displaying the characters Alex and Leo (7) because we knew there would be lot of people whilst filming so we were concerned with them appearing in the frame...
2) I also thought the tracking shot would be an issue because the camera movement could appear "shaky" not smooth. But to solve this we took a tripod (enabling the camera to stay in place with smooth movement) with us to make sure that the tracking of the character would appear smoother.
