I am going to make my first short and THANK YOU for how to do a shot list. Making a movie is a lot when I have to do the work. I have been on set as an extra and took for granted the work involved, WOW! Everything is already taken care of. I had no idea it was so organized and detailed.

This was super helpful and I used the template as well. This made making a short film in 3 days organized and kept us on target. Thanks for sharing.

Was very informative and "practical". I like how he made a point to say you'll adjust it, add/remove your own, it's a guide... Instead of insisting do it MY way.

Thank you so much. You are like an angel for me today.
I’ve been trying to figure out the shot list for a year.
Because of you, I now get it. You are amazing.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️🌸🥰

Thank you so much, I usually go by what I want and shoot but having this and now hiring a DP works much better

[sabrina]

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for making this!!!

Thank you for helping me, i was kinda lost. This helped a lot. Hello from Germany.

Hey great video! I thought under the 'Gear' section you would state the camera used and the lens focal length? ie. Gear: A7S, 50mm, tripod

[joyoffilming]

I'm only half in the video - already awesome and ultimately so simple & clear!

[tbsullivan]

Such nice and clear directions! Thank you!

[tonynomods]

This video helped me a lot, man! BigUp!

[javiercahuata]

This is exactly what I need.... I'm starting to create my own videos. : )

[TheNerdyFilmmaker]

Exactly the same thing with me and the beard :P Waited till it was back before filming again.

Perfect. Simple. Easy. Clear. Public grade school teacher here who's trying to self-learn filmmaking. Please do tutorials for camera movements, shot types, camera angles, and how to use and write on a clapper. If you already have, i'll check em out after this. also, quick question: i have a sony zv e10 with a kit lens only. i intend to upgrade to sigma 30mm but i could find one physically. what i found (actual physical store) is sony 50mm f1.8 oss. is this good enough for youtube talking head? thanks.

You should make a video about your steps to becoming a cinematographer. Did you go to school, do you have a side job or did you start out with a side job for steady income, any recommendations for building a filmmaking business? Idk, just throwing out ideas. Basically show off what you've done to get where you're at right now? Maybe plans for the future?

[AshToneAudio]

Is there a difference between forward, straight and tracking? LIke on the TV you said moving forward, is there a way to tell thats the actual movement or if that was just a zoom/scale up/in or does that not really matter?

[Evan-jyeh]

i have a question. What if im doing a vlogging or cooking video. Should i plan and write sheet like this when filming, or should i just go out and hit record?

[mossgatherer_]

Hey great video! Not sure if you know but your google sheets link has somehow merged with a google forms feedback and it has people's personal info. Just letting you know in case you weren't aware. Take care!

[suhasinimadhuryachennubhot]

I have a doubt, why did you call it a track shot for the 1st scene first shot? Isnt it a static shot though its handheld?
If im wrong, can you kindly explain?

[theonering]

Hi, if I have two characters talking in my scene and I will be cutting between the two talking using MS, do I need to enter each cut (when there would be a new line of dialogue) into a new shot line in the shot list/ production schedule? Or since the entire scene can be shot in two shots (one filming each person) do I need only need two shots on the shot list? Thank you in advance.
