The creator breaks down his personal formula for shot listing to create engaging video content. He guides the viewer through the process of writing a script and assigning specific camera angles (wide, medium, close-up) to each line, visually demonstrating the 'mix it up' technique in real-time by matching his current shot to the advice he is giving.

How I Shotlist
Today, we're gonna talk about how I shot list. Buckle up. First, write your script. Once you're finished, you can then start placing what shot can accommodate each mind. No the secret to all this is simple. The reason why those shots are so engaging is because I mix it up. Let's break it down. I always start my films with a wide shot. This is what we call an establishing shot. To mix it up, I'll either go to a medium shot or a close-up afterwards, and I tend to go back and forth between wide and medium when I'm talking to the camera. No, what I don't do is go from a wide to another wide shot. Sometimes it rank work if you're still trying to establish a location that you're at, but if it's you talking to the camera, the framing is a little too similar. Lastly, extreme close ups. I use these when I'm transitioning from one scene to another, whether that's stationary to driving, opening the door handle to go from one location to another. I use these to imply tier moving into something new. So now as you can see, I mix it up from wide to medium, to wide to close to medium, and so on and so forth. This is how I shot list. I hope that helps, and as always, happy creating everyone. Catch you all next time.
