THE PROBLEM

The review session just wrapped. The client loved the story, but four sections need stronger visual support. The interview about the product launch has no product shots. The factory tour segment is missing detail close-ups. The team culture section has only wide shots, with no candid moments. And the closing needs an exterior golden hour shot you never captured.

You have a pickup shoot booked for tomorrow morning. The DP is asking for a shot list tonight so they can plan lenses and lighting. That means you need to rewatch each problem section, figure out exactly what's missing, and write specific enough descriptions that someone else can shoot them correctly.

This is the kind of task that seems quick until you're actually doing it. Translating editorial gaps into production-ready shot descriptions takes real thought, and tonight, you're short on time.

03

Organize by location and priority Review the shot list organized by shooting location and editorial priority. The most critical gaps are flagged so the DP knows what to capture first if time runs short.

04
