Once you work through all of the bullet points in your script, and have a series of
shot ideas for each bullet point, you can create a shot list. (Example Shotlist)
1. Translate your

bullet point for shot

Shotlists: The act of taking photos or film can be so absorbing
that you can easily forget an important shot. A shotlist is basically
just a list of shots that you want to make sure to capture with
photos or film. Having a shotlist frees up the part of your mind

more of your brain for taking great photos.
3. Identify concrete
elements of each
bullet point.
