STUDIOBINDER'S SHOT LIST SOFTWARE

Build your shot list in StudioBinder

Directors who have built a shot list know that it takes serious concentration.

That level of creative focus can allow important details to fall through the cracks.

StudioBinder has worked with professional filmmakers to create comprehensive shot list categories and features that allow you to paint a clear picture with your shot list.

No longer will you have to dance back and forth between templates and spreadsheets to create a document that accurately reflects your creative vision. 

Shot List Example - Creed - Shot Size and Camera Angle

Follow these steps:

  1. Generate your scene and scene number.
  2. Describe the imagery in your shot in the title
  3. Use the drop down tabs to enter the size, angle, camera movement, and equipment. Then decide if you want to add an image for more clarity.

You’ve followed these steps for every shot in your upcoming scene.
