Let’s make a movie! Part 1: Shotlisting

One of my favorite parts of pre-proing a film:
Shotlisting! It is the backbone of the film, that helps you and the Director tell the story visually. I love to deep dive into the character’s backstories to really understand their intentions. Here are 3 questions I ask myself when working with a Director:

1. What are the “emotional beats” of the scene that shift the power dynamics?

2. How do I want the audience to feel in that moment?
3. What camera movements will help me tell this story & do we have the budget?

Stay tune for Part 2: Lens Testing! Let me know what your shot listing process looks like and if you’d like me to dive even deeper into these questions! :)
