Transcript excerpt
If your shot list doesn't include these four things, your shoot is going to feel chaotic. Number one, product slide. This is the slide that has the product name and what it looks like. Don't assume your stylist will learn your products on set. They're busy building out the shots. Number two, lighting slide. This is the most important one. Lighting defines the world that your product lives in. Is it moody? Is it commercial? Once the lighting is set, it shouldn't change. Your entire shoot should follow that same visual language. Number three, shot breakdowns. For technical assets, every shot should be defined. Color background, aspect ratios, which products are in frame. If you're deciding this information on set, you're wasting time and money. Number four, mood board. At a glance, this slide should communicate the entire vibe. It's not just inspiration, it's alignment for your team. Shoot days move fast. Your shot list is the bridge between the brand and the creator. If your team keeps checking in on set, it's usually not the team, it's the shot list. Follow for more real production insights.
