Jared I give you credit my friend. I've been in this business for 20 plus years and you are the only person I have ever seen use the correct term "trucking".

[@JaredIsham]

I guess it is easily mixed up with a dolly shot, right? 😀

[@edbrotherton36]

@@JaredIsham All the time. I learned the correct camera movements and havn't heard it used since 1988.

Sheesh, it was part of film school curriculum for me in 2000.

Nice video, clear and easy to follow, thanks.

+Valley Films thanks! Glad you're liking them. Wrapping up an editing gig then back at it full force.

[@Luckylukeproduction]

Hey dude I have some really great news I recently got the job of editing a feature film and also I'll be the cinematographer of a feature of a high budget indie feature film. Only as a 17 year old

[@JaredIsham]

+Lucky Luke Productions pretty sweet man! That is awesome both positions spend as much time as you can discussing creative approach with the director. Super helpful in staying on the same page. Congrats and Good Luck! Keeps us posted on how the progress.

[@Luckylukeproduction]

Jared Isham thanks.

[@mads5089]

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get to that?

[@Luckylukeproduction]

Mads Grinding! I'm online school so I have alot of time to go on to sets. Networking with people and try to get a job or internship at a production company and you will meet alot of people

[@mads5089]

Well done for achieving the job, good luck :)

[@cliffsitems9832]

Thank you Jared! This is THE best video I've seen on making a shot list. Well organized. Straightforward. To the truth. No time wasted! Keep it up

[@JaredIsham]

Thanks. Hoping to do more of these showing even more on shotlists. Glad you found this one useful!

Hi, if I have two characters talking in my scene and I will be cutting between the two talking using MS, do I need to enter each cut (when there would be a new line of dialogue) into a new shot line in the shot list/ production schedule? Or since the entire scene can be shot in two shots (one filming each person) do I need only need two shots on the shot list? Thank you in advance.

[@JaredIsham]

You only need to list the 2 shots. MS on Character A, MS on Character B. In editorial you will decide when you want to cut to each shot based on performance and continuity.

[@theonering9876]

@@JaredIsham That's what I was thinking makes sense. Thank you for confirming!!!

[@JaredIsham]

No problem. Don't make more work for yourself than you have to.

[@theonering9876]

​@@JaredIsham Another thought just occurred to me. What about if I want a MS on a Tripod to capture different things in a scene for example a MS will be used for character dialogue and another would be used to show them climbing a ladder. Do I need to lines in the shot list for this or can it be one as it will require the same camera setup?

[@JaredIsham]

Depends on the scene. Typically when making your shot list it also tends to match scene numbers. For example: WS = Sc 1 MS = Sc 1A CU = Sc 1B The scene number typically adds a letter for each time you move the camera or change a lens. If I were to write a shot list for your scene it might looks like this: WS characters talking MS on Character A MS on Character B MS following Character Up Ladde (possibly grab is Character Coverage) Make sense?

Hi may i know the difference between the shot division n story boarding.. R the story boarding as per the shot division

[@JaredIsham]

Not sure I entirely understand your question. I am assuming you are asking when you know to have a new shot when storyboarding? I only draw each shot once. When I am shooting a scene I run the entire scene from each angle (there are exceptions of course - probably would roll an entire scene of a close up on a blank wall waiting for someone to hang a picture...just get the picture being hung). If a scene cuts from shot to shot, it is almost guaranteed that they ran each shot individually for the entire scene and cut between shots during the edit. These also might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4WcZntuZ7utma8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4DLaWyvmc6qbtk

[@adityathosar2026]

Can anyone tell me why shot division is important even when storyboard does the same job? Because I directly go to a storyboard where I mention all the shots. So why its important or necessary? Please tell me...

[@JaredIsham]

This is based off of my own opinion, but if it is easier for you to create a shot list to know what you need to get then you should do that. If storyboards are the best way for you to know which shots you need to get then use those. I like to do a list of my shots because it is small and easy for me to reference and cross off when I've gotten the shot. For me it is more of a scheduling technique. I usually use storyboards to help explain my vision to DPs, Actors, Production Designers, etc. Choose what works best for you and go with that. If you need to share the info, just make sure it is easy for them to understand.
