As part of the planning of my film, I have created a rough shot list that I can follow during filming (which I am planning to do next weekend). I have created this shot list, which is in chronological order of how I would like the shots to appear in my trailer (though I will put them into a shooting schedule to help me when filming), though I plan to re-draft the shot list over the coming week so that by the time I come to film I am certain about exactly what I want.
I will follow this as closely as I can when filming my teaser trailer - although a script is not included in my teaser trailer I have added brief references of dialogue to help me get an idea of what is happening in each shot.
