Thank you, glad it was helpful and we will let Thea know to prepare her Oscar speech.

Don't forget best Director too.😄

Glad you liked and that it was helpful.

You are welcome. And keep making those shorts. Dreamer was fun (and working with kids, not easy, we know).

Thank you so much🙏🏽

She deserved that award right.

Thanks guys and good luck with your new channel and keep the vids coming. Are you shooting and editing everything in 4k?

Thanks, Dave, hope it was helpful. And like your reel.

Shhh. Remember, Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. And yes, I dressed up as Lord Baelish for halloween one year.

It is a little tricky to get it all but once you do, it just starts making sense. And love your one light test, very cool. Do another with a behind the scenes camera to show what you're doing.

@@PullMyFocus thanks will do😊. Im working on my first short, in the process of doing my shot list.

@@RespecttheScreenplay Awesome. Good luck with your short. You have great style and personality. Keep up the great work.

@@PullMyFocus Thank you😇😇

@@PullMyFocus I watched it a second time, I believe i am getting confused by the numbers not being labeled like the #1 that says MS (master shot) the other numbers are names but doesn't say what kind of shot? Am I making sense? Lol

Awesome, glad it was helpful. We're proud of that video.

Thanks, Lee, much appreciated.

I know from experience that it does the opposite. It makes the coverage very clear.

Thanks Shawn.

You are very welcome sir.

You are very welcome, thank you for watching and glad we could help.

Cut To is correct

@@PullMyFocus Thanks for the reply sis☺️☺️☺️☺️

Doesn't matter if you have one, two, or twelve cameras. Purpose of this exercise is to confirm you "will" have the shots you need in the edit. Which cameras will record those shots is up to you or the camera dept when you shoot the scene.

@@PullMyFocus Gotcha! Thanks!

You write that in the shot lost and you show it in the storyboard if you're directing. But you don't write it in the screenplay as that's for the director to interpret/decide. There you hint at it with the description: Jack stops short. A woman wearing stylish shoes for a night out is laying down on a platform, the hem of her red gown just reaching her knees. The gown is tied with a bright sash at the hips just below a plunging neck line. He nervously twitches. Shes the woman he met at the party last night. Here using the description and action you "suggest" revealing the woman from foot to head in the readers mind. Robert Mckee covers this in his book Story on pg 399.

@@PullMyFocus thank you who ever you are that helps. I had a learning disability so this is hard for me to learn all at once. I’m writing a screenplay on my old computer just for me to read for now. I want to be a director and direct my own film. I’m going to learn what a storyboard is next.

I recommend Acrobat as I save out my scripts in pdf to share with cast and crew. If Acrobat isn't working I would say create lines in the doc file you're using. I don't know of any software that lines a script outside of actual script supervisor software.

@@PullMyFocus Thank you for the reply. The problem with Acrobat that I'm having is that there's no easy workflow, no easy way to draw lines and label them. Do you put in a shape (line), a text box, and so on? every time? Or can you copy/paste etc? is there an easier way to do it so it doesn't take an hour per page? thank you

@@JacobJavor Yes, Acrobat can be a pain for workflow. I realize I should have said I use pdf's and I line them in Preview on a mac. It's much easier. Either way, I create a vertical line that I can easily adjust its length, and I create a text box at the top to denote the shot number. And yes, I copy and past like crazy. Hope that helps.

@@PullMyFocus Got it i'll try that, thanks

​@@JacobJavor

Thank you Santhosh, much appreciated, and do share our videos with your network as well.

That would save a lot of time but it does mean very long takes where you can't cut to anything. You have to have one full take that works and that usually means compromises. Sometimes it saves time to have coverage, to shoot pickups of just one line that keeps ruining the whole shot.

Pull My Focus I hear you. I just Love films with that long take. Like most of Alfonso Cuaron and Laz Díaz films

OMG, when it comes to long takes Cuaron is the master. Children of Men is one of my top ten films of all time. Now let's talk the opening long take in Orsen Wells Touch of Evil as they cross the Mexican boarder, passing a car struck in traffic with a bomb in its trunk.

That's the point. The dialogue is not meant to be much of anything. It's an acting exercise with simple dialogue were the only thing that changes are the actions and scene needs you give the actors. We'll be doing a video on that. Here we're just using it to show the process lining shots so you focus on that, not the dialogue.

Because the point of this video is about shot lists, not lighting. We don't have a full crew and a grip/electric truck to film well lit exterior shots when it's not the focus of the video.
