Planning - SHOT LIST FOR BAND PERFORMANCE SHOOT

Friday's shoot is coming up fast, and in tying up all the loose ends a shot list is to be compiled. Due to the abstract nature of the shoot, and my (by personal preference) improvisational style, I cannot obviously predict the order and timings of the shots in the final edit - for the editing process is where all the experimentation happens. The purpose of this shot list is to provide a guide for what material I need on Friday.

Focal Lengths (with 18-135mm Lens): 

• Extreme wide shots
• Multiple wide shots
• Medium close up shots
• Close Up shots

Shots with movement:

    

 - On the Jib/Dolly

• Wide angle pitching shots
• Wide angle panning shots
• Wide angle pitch/pan/tracking shots 
• Medium close up pitching/panning shots 
• Arc Shots
• Shots with lens flares (a convention of music videos which usually goes ignored)

- On the dolly

• Tracking shots
• Wide Shots
• Medium Close up shots
• Cutaway shots (instrumentals/film gear/film crew)
• Panning tracking shots
• Pitching tracking shots

Steady Shots:

- On the Shoulder Rig (Camera with 28mm Lens)

• Wide shots
• Medium shots
• Medium close up shots
• Close up shots
• Cutaway shots (instrumentals/film gear/film crew)

As I will need as much footage as possible for maximum freedom in post-production, I will be using three cameras.

All three cameras are Canon 550D. One is my own, one belongs to the media department and one belonging to fellow Sixth Form student who I have taken on as part of the crew. 

I will be using three lenses; Two my own, a ef 28mm Lens and a efs 18-135mm lens. I will also be using the Media Department's efs 18-135mm lens. The dolly and the jib/dolly will be equipped with the zoom lenses, and the camera on the shoulder rig will be equipped with the 28mm lens.
