Shot List
A shot list (or snapshot catalogue) is an intricate layout of every visual asset to be captured during a session, describing perspectives, aesthetic design, and product inclusions. It provides a clear roadmap for the team and ensures consistent alignment with the project outline.
The shot list documents perspectives and aesthetic notes so all departments understand required assets and styling. Related terms include Project Outline, Artistic Supervision, and Aesthetic Notes.
Pro Tip
Include angles, styling details, and specific product inclusions to make the shot list an actionable roadmap for the crew.
Use Cases
Used during preproduction and on-set to guide photographers, stylists, and assistants, ensuring each required image is captured according to the brief. It prevents missed assets and keeps the shoot organized.
