Shotlist

 Writing the shot-list was not as a big of challenge as writing the script. To make the shot-list it also took me a couple tries however it was a lot easier for me to put my ideas to paper when I was doing the shot-list because I was just writing down everythting that would come to my brain, and then as I did the second draft I organized it how in the order I want them to be recorded. 

As I started making it I just thought about how I want the trailer to look like, so I the order was what I wanted the final product to look like, not how I was going to record it. Writing a shot-list for a trailer that has a beginning, a middle and an end was my biggest challenge for this task, so I approached it as recording it as a short film and then breaking the footage I had into a trailer, which should have  been my initial approach however I didn't want to get to focused on the short film aspect of it because that wasn't what the final product was going to look like. 

Having both shot lists of how I want the trailer to look like and the order I want it to be recorded as was helpful as it helped me not deviate from the final product but also having everything organized for production helped me a lot during production and I'm sure it will make a big difference during editing.
