Shot list
A shot list is a written list of the images or video shots to capture during a shoot, each tied to a specific use such as a hero image, a product detail or a vertical clip. It keeps the day on track and ensures nothing needed is missed.
In practice
What it means when you are the one making the decision.
A good shot list is agreed before the shoot and notes the framing, orientation, subject and where each shot will be used. Planning formats in advance matters: a vertical video for stories needs different framing from a wide banner image.
It also helps with budgeting and scheduling, because the number and complexity of shots determine how long the day takes. A short list of priority shots, with extras if time allows, protects the essentials.
Example
A product shoot lists a clean pack shot for the store, a hand-held detail for social, a vertical clip for stories and a wide lifestyle image for a banner.
