Hey guys! Welcome back to my blog. Today I will be discussing my story board and shot list for the film. These two things are very important to ensure that everything goes well when filming and that everything is organized so let's get started!
Shot List
I want to start off with the shot list because the storyboard is basically the shot list, just with visuals. I honestly never write shot lists for the films I work on but I think a shot list for this film would be important especially for the match cut scene in the beginning.
Scene 1
Opening shot: Push in wide pov shot of looking through the bathroom of Jessi getting ready for school
Cut to: Over the shoulder mid shot on the right, of the mirror showing Jessi applying her make up.
Transition: Pan shot of the camera moving to the left going behind Jessi's head transitioning in to the back of Jackson's head continuing the pan until you see and over the shoulder mid shot looking in to Jackson's mirror.

Fade out
Making the shot list taught me a lot about how I wanted the scenes to play out. It helped me visualize every single movement and shot and really helped me organize my thoughts. I will definitely be using a shot list for every film I create now. That's all I have for today, in the next post I'll be making the sotry board so stay tuned! Byeee!
