Production
Shot List
An itemized list of every angle, framing, and action to be captured during a shoot day.
What it means in practice
It converts a concept or storyboard into a practical coverage checklist for the crew and creator. Its order can follow location, lighting, talent, or setup efficiency instead of the final edit sequence.
Why it matters
Missing a required product angle or action can force a reshoot or weaken the final edit.
How it is used
The creator or producer checks off each planned shot while capturing campaign footage and supporting B-roll.
