Shot list:

This was my first draft of shots that I wanted to capture during filming. It is a rough draft and therefore contains no specific features of actions intended to be taken when filming the shot. This draft helped me to construct a further and more specific shot list.


This is the next update of my shot list, however, this time I colour co-ordinated it in terms of shooting at different times of the day. In the red is the shots I wanted to take in the day light, the green are shots I wanted to take as the day got gradually darker, and the blue are the shots I wanted to take at night. This will help with time management when deciding when to shoot each shot, as I'm aware getting each shot right will be a timely process, and, as we only have three days at Hamsterly Cottage, it is important that I utilize my time as best as possible. 


This is a shot list I made for the main shots I aim to get when filming at Hamsterly cottage. I gave a copy of this shot list to my actors to ensure they knew the basis of what shots we would be doing when at the cottage. I am also aware that not all of these shots may be used and I may decide to capture alternate shots/more shots when there. I aim to include other shots in my trailer however these are the shots that I need to film, as a priority, when at my location of Hamsterly cottage. I aim to do a mixture of 'home footage' and real film footage throughout, and my shots will be a mixture of each.
