Video Tips- video shot schedule

A shot schedule is a list of the shots you need to in order to create your video. It helps you define  the full process, all the video footage you need to capture to  finish your video. The shot schedule also helps you consider shooting raw footage in a way that makes sense.

"A Video Shot Schedule"

 Hot tip - You can save time by shooting your scenes out of sequence.

For example: if your video starts in a park, moves to a house, and ends in a park. Shoot all the park scenes one day, and the house another day. That just makes sense. In other words try to schedule all the scenes in one area in one session.

The shot schedule, lets everyone - managers, video director, camera crew, performers - know what's happening and when. This is determined by convenience and practicality, not by the order that the scenes will appear in the finished video.

Be prepared, where possible, to walk round all the locations yourself, and check that everything is as the storyboard requires. Remember that it takes up to an hour to move a video crew from one location to another, even within the same building, because of the time needed to dismantle, shift, set up and relight at the new location.  Time is always of the essence in a video shoot. The more time is spent shooting and the less time is spent travelling, then the more footage you'll have for the edit.

You also need to liaise with the manager or owner of that location, so that the place is clean, tidy and safe, that all the processes are working, staff or cast are appropriately dressed, and there are no distractions like a fire drill scheduled.

Unfortunately, things sometimes aren't that simple and more refined planning is needed. This is when a shot schedule becomes indispensible. So we've created this shot video on how to write a shot schedule together to help with the process. Enjoy!
