Building Your Shot List
The shot list is organised by scene. You can add as many shots as you need to cover the action.
Select a Scene
Choose the scene you want to break down from the scene dropdown.
Add a Shot
Click the + Add Shot button to create a new row.
Fill in Details
Specify the Shot Size (e.g. CU), Shot Type (e.g. Over the Shoulder), Movement (e.g. Static), and Equipment.
Describe the Action
Use the Description field to explain exactly what is happening in the frame.
Setup & Duration
For production planning, you can estimate how long each shot will take.
- Setup Time: How long it takes to light and position the camera.
- Action Time: How long the shot itself takes to perform.
Tip: These estimates will eventually integrate with Call Sheets to help you schedule your shoot day.
