# Shot List Creation

Goal

Create an itemized list of each shot used in key sequences or your entire story.

With a clearer idea of the sequence and composition of your shots, you can plan how much you want to storyboard. You can storyboard your entire production. Alternatively, you can storyboard shots that are pivotal to the emotional impact of the story or that may require a more complex setup.

Create a shot list for your production, which, for each shot, details the important elements you worked out during your evaluation of the shots. You should include the shot’s type and angle, camera effects, lighting, and accompanying dialogue.

Entries in the shot list can then be used to complete storyboard panels. These provide you with a guideline to create an informative visual narrative for your production.
