R+P Post 30: My shoot-board

For the main shoot, we produced a shootboard. This will help make sure that we are organised when it comes to the shoot, and will help us efficiently get through the shots we must do.

A page of our shoot board

We have the shot number in the first column, the shots are ordered in a way so that shots that require similar set ups can be shot closely together, saving time for our actors and for us. 

The time column is there so that we have a rough idea on how much time we should be spending on each shot, so that we stay on track for finishing on time. 

The shot image column is where we will put the post-it notes from our storyboard so that we can visualise what the shot is meant to look like. The description column next to it also facilitates this, but with added detail, such as the dialogue in the shot, and what needs to be done with the camera.

The actor/prop column lists who and what is needed for the shot.

The Director/Camera Op/Sound column is where we will write who carried out which role for the shot.

The Takes column is where we will tick off how many takes we have taken of the shot, and in the column next to it we will indicate which take we thought looked the best.
