A How to to Using a Shot List

Why?

Using a shot list becomes easy over time, and it makes your production day(s) much easier and simpler. I use a shot lists instead of story boards, but you can chose to do both, just a story board, or just a shot list. To use a shot list you must have two things. First, you need a shot list template. Second you need to know how to write. I'm pretty sure you can all manage this. 

How to use a Basic shot list


The information you need to add to your shot list varies. The key things you want to add to your basic shot list are the shot numbers, shot type/ angle (e.g wide portrait, close portrait....etc), and action. You could use the image next to this paragraph for a basic shot list.


How to use a more inclusive shot list

If you want a more inclusive shot list use this one. For the more inclusive shot list you'll want. Your scene #, shot #, whether it's interior or exterior, shot type, location of the shot, description of the shot, and then any additional comments.

Tips

The shot list right here is the one that I use. However, I don't always fill in all of the blanks.

It's a good idea to have a folder to put your shot lists into. It's nice to have some sort of divider in between your different videos, and then also have each videos shot lists in order of the days of shooting. Remember that when your writing your shot list you want to put the shots in the order you'll shoot, not the order that you'll see in the final edit. 

Conclusion

I hope this helps! If you have a better shot list, or any other tips please leave them in the comment section or ask me on twitter @creativevideo12.

What I use to make my videos

Hey Everybody,

If you've seen any of my videos you might of been asking yourself, "I wonder what he uses to make these videos?" Well in this post I will answer that question.

Software

Let's cover the software that I use. I use Ubuntu 32 bit for my running system. For video editing I use Kdenlive, Openshot, and Cinelerra. I use Kdenlive for most of the editing. I use Openshot for most of the 3d title screens that I want. And I use Cinelerra for the more complicated stuff. I am also starting to use Blender.

If I want to edit an image I use "gimp image editor."

For editing the sound from a video, whether that be redoing spoken lines, adding in lines, and so on. I use Audacity. For songs, or drum beats, I used lmms which stands for "Linux Multimedia Studio". I also use a drum machine called Hydrogen.

All of the software and programs I use cost me the grand total of $0.00. Now that is not to say that this stuff is the best. It's not! I would love get my hands on after effects, but it's just out of my price range right now.

Equipment

For the equipment that I use, let's start with camera. The main camera I use is the Sony a65 dslr. I normally shoot 1080 at 24p. Right now I have three lenses, the Sony 50mm prime, the Sony 35 mm prime, and the Sony 18-70mm zoom.

For audio recording I use the Zoom H2.

I use the Slik U 9000 for my tripod. I also use a diy fig rig. It's the one that indy mogul has a tutorial on.

Props 

Right now as far as widely used props go, I use airsoft guns. Here is a list of all of them, G36c, H&K .45, MP5, Spas 12, P99, Five Seven, Desert Eagle, Colt 1911, and Glock.

If I missed anything, and you want to know what it is, just leave a comment and I will tell you what it is.
