shot list
I’m not exactly quite sure what the format for a shot list is like, but whatever, I’ll do it my way. It’s part of the final project for my short format screenwriting class. The whole package is my final draft plus 3 supplemental materials.
For the 3 materials I’m including these:
Soundtrack: A mix cd of the songs to be in film along with a description of why I chose them...

Then that pain from all the cutting away…it faded and I felt right again. I got a lot of good feedback from my professors and my best...

Catherine: I don't like the girls in our major.
Me: Me too. It's so much easier to be friends with the guys.
