R+P Post 30: My Shoot Board

The Shoot-board will probably be the most important document we take to each of our shoots. Not only does it contain a list of every shot we need to get, but it also allows us to see whether we're working at a quick enough pace to finish the shoot in time.

Due to the nature of our shoots, we have made two shootboards: one for the shoot on the rooftop and another for our shoot in the studio. Below are examples of a page from both.

Rooftop Shootboard:

Studio Shootboard:

Key:

Setup No.: The number of our setup; ordered in a way so that we can take each shot quickly and efficiently.

Time: The time at which we plan to take the shot

Location: The location at which the shot will take place

Description/Camera/Dialogue: The detail of the shot itself; what is happening with the actor, camera etc.

Actors/Props: The actors and props that will be needed for this shot

Director/Camera Op./Sound: The crew member who will be performing each of these roles. We have left these blank as we want everyone to take on each role in a flexible manner.

Takes: How many takes of each shot we have taken. This will be filled in during the shoot.

Identify good takes: Whether we have a good take of this shot. This will be filled in during the shoot.
