A shot list serves as a production schedule for your photoshoot. It describes what will occur in a scene, including a description of each shot that makes up the scene as a whole. It functions as a kind of checklist that records all of your preparations and ideas for a picture session, ensuring that nothing is overlooked or forgotten.
In class we already start to organize and prepare for our final photoshoots and pre-production of the final magazine. Shot list is very important and helpful in pre-production. It includes scenes, number of shots and its description.
