Amended Shot List - TUG OF WAR

After we had shot the first scene and taken it back to review it in post production, we noticed that there were quite a few problems.

One of these problems was that a lot of the moving shots did not fit well with the pace of the film. Also because the camera is constantly moving, a lot of it had gone out of focus when the characters move.

Along with various other reasons, we then decided to reshoot that first scene, however this time we would shoot it with mostly static shots, as oppose to moving, the help the film flow better.

Because we had to shoot half of that scene again, I decided to create a shot list, listing all of the shots I need to get on the day of the reshoot.

Below is the shot list I wrote up along with the more detailed, typed up version;

Amended Shot List - FIFTEEN

Once we had got on set for shooting FIFTEEN, we decided that there were a lot of other shots that we wanted to get to make the film look better aesthetically, and also to help tell the story.

Therefore, whenever there was a break on set, I made a quick shot list of extra shots I wanted to get that day, on top of the ones that were already storyboarded.

Below are photos of the lists I made along with a more detailed, typed up version of these shot lists.
