DAY 2 - SHOT LISTS

Similarly to Day 1, we created the storyboards and shot list simultaneously. We began by planning for shots, Amid then drew the storyboards as I wrote down the shot description, which effectively became the shot list. Since our shoot is planned to have a scene of the masked guys appearing and surrounding the girls, the actual dance off, a freestyle dance segment, where the girls conform to the masked guys, and put on their own masks, and a few shots of ‘talking’ to camera, the shot lists have been divided into four different documents.

The shot lists correspond to the storyboards which can be seen in the next page. Unlike the first shoot, I will not need to reorder the shots for efficiency, as we will be in our own location, closed off from the public, allowing us to have time to spare for changing and moving equipment around. Some of the shots in the shot lists below state, ‘interpret shot on the day’, and this means that the cast will be asked to carry on or repeat their actions, however we will film shots that we feel best captures the moment, such as for the dance off, so that we are not making the scene boring by repeating the same shot type every time.

Before and during storyboarding, I had created a scene breakdown and added notes to that, which can be seen in the photo below:

Additionally, I made some notes on how the planned teleportation effect will need to be filmed, which can be seen below:

With these shot lists, alongside all the storyboards we have created, I believe we are really prepared and organised for our shoot, meaning that we know exactly what to film, allowing us to experiment with what works best with our actors and actresses. The next page shows the storyboards that we’ve created, as well as animatics of how the shots may look like when edited together.
