Meanings
plural shotlists
- broadcastingA detailed list of all the shots required for a film.
The shotlist should be short — if you find yourself typing up more than one page per scene, you're not really getting the hang of it. Use common terminology whenever possible. From the shotlist, the DP can figure out, to some extent, how many lighting changes each scene will require.
