Shot list template (free)

What’s inside the Shot List.

Real content in every part, ready to rewrite with your own.

1Day 1 shot list: 22 shots under five scene headings (sluglines), each with setup, size, angle, movement, camera, lens, fps, description, cast, sync or MOS, minutes, a start time chained from the crew call through rig, moves and lunch, A/B priority, a Done mark and notes; scene rows count their shots and minutes; tiles for shots, shooting time and setups, high-speed shots, sound and shots by camera

When to use it.

Shot List is a spreadsheet for directors, DoPs and assistant directors planning a commercial, brand film or music video shoot. Shots sit under screenplay-style scene headings, each with its setup, shot size, angle, movement, camera, lens, frame rate, description, cast, sync or MOS, minutes and an A or B priority. Start times chain from the crew call through the rig, moves and lunch, so they match the call sheet, and each scene counts its shots and minutes. Tiles show the shot count, shooting time and setups, high-speed and sync shots, and shots per camera.
