shot list
Camera setup inventory
A shot list is a document used in film and video production that catalogs every camera shot needed for a scene or project.
It typically includes shot numbers, descriptions, angles, and equipment requirements.
Directors and cinematographers use shot lists to plan shoots efficiently and ensure nothing is missed: We need to finalize the shot list before tomorrow's call time.
