The shot list  is one of the most important tools in the visual preparation of any film production. It translates your storyboard and script into a precise list of planned camera shots – organized, transparent, and ready for shooting. With tillyboard's shot list tool,  you can create your resolution quickly, in a structured manner, and directly linked to your scenes, locations, and shooting schedule.

What is a shot list?

A shot list  contains all planned camera angles for a scene: long shots, medium shots, close-ups, over-the-shoulder shots, and camera movements such as dolly shots or handheld shots. It bridges the gap between director, camera, and production  —and ensures that everyone on set has the same image in mind.
