Shot List

Before I filmed for my trailer, I wanted to get a rough guideline for what I needed to film on the

day. This would enable me to be organised, therefore I would know exactly what I needed to do on the day. Also it would help my actors to understand what they had to do in order for them to do the best performance that they could.
