Shoot-board

After the storyboard was done we started on the shot list, so that we could begin on the shoot board. To start this we categorised all the shots on the storyboard into 4 different setups: performance, confetti, balloons, empty set and empty set without band members in.

By writing out all the shots like this it makes it easier to put together similar shots for the shoot-board and ensures we do not miss any shots in the process.

Once we had the list of shots categorised, I put them onto a shoot board in order, so that on the day of shooting we had a list of the shots to reference to and to check off.

We put in the set up number, an image from the animatic for us to reference to, a short description of the shot, what is included in the set, cast needed, props needed and the lighting we will use.

However we didn't fill in the time section because we didn't know exactly how long each shot would take to film, especially as some shots would take longer to film, for example the Glide-cam shots, which would take a lot of setting up and testing. This may mean that we might not get all the shots done in time but we'd rather get a few good shots than lots of bad shots that will need to be reshot.
