Shot List 

Shot list also known as shooting schedule.
The purpose behind a shot list is to record the different shots to be filmed. A shot list is normanlly done in chronological order however it doesn't have to be as it's only a draft to let the producer know roughly what shot to use.

These are the current shots we are going to use for our final piece. We plan to explore a lots of different angles as the man is suffering from Agoraphobia and is in a rush and a panic. For the majority of shots we are looking to make them jerky and at a fast paste. As each shot will be relatively quick it will hopefully create enigma as we wont be watching the clip for long which will hopefully make it more tense.

The issues which we may have is that we don't want to over complicate the shots as it may make the movie seem more like as film trailer and not unfolding a story. Also, when we first make the shot list we didn't include many panning shots. Most of the clips were originally still shots of the man moving to different parts of the house which we then realised would make the film opening feel too jumpy and hard to understand.
