Comment SHOT LIST and we’ll send you the free shot listing template Shane Hurlbut, ASC uses to prep features, commercials, and television, straight to your DMs.

A shot list is the document that unites your whole team for success. When it is all in one place, your director, AD, gaffer, production designer, and camera team walk on set knowing the exact game plan. Here is what goes on it.

1️⃣ Scene heading and description. Start with the basics at the top. The project name, the date, the scene number, and the heading pulled from the script, plus one line of scene description. It anchors the whole page.

2️⃣ The look and concept. Describe the light for the scene. Desaturated tones, neon signs lighting pockets of the room, warm soft toplight, pools of light and areas of dark. This builds your lighting timeline across the whole film and locks the mood in before you ever light it.

3️⃣ The schematic. The big box where you map the scene from above. Drop in the production designer’s floor plan, place your actors, draw their blocking paths, and mark every camera position and lens direction. This is where coverage becomes physical.

4️⃣ The numbered shots. Each shot gets a number and a description written as camera motion, not a static frame. Not “wide of Natalie at the bar.” Instead: pull with Natalie out of the hallway, wrap around her to see Tag at the bar, then pan off into a 60/40 on Tag and his buddies. Your team executes the move you saw in your head.

5️⃣ Build in the blocking cues. The script hands you cues. A character crossing to a window, half a team headed up the steps. These moments on the page become real shots on your list.

Comment SHOT LIST for the free template. And for the full walkthrough, the three part On Set Series on Shot Listing is on Filmmakers Academy, where you can submit your shot list and get feedback directly from Shane. Link in bio.

Your plan for when you feel stuck as a filmmaker. Everyone hits the wall. Rejection, failure, and progress that takes far longer than you want. What separates the filmmakers who make it is how they respond. Here is the plan.

Get your mind right first.
-Expect to get knocked down and keep showing up anyway.
-Discipline is the difference. It comes down to who does the work when no one is watching.
-Measure yourself against your last project, not anyone else’s timeline.

Choose one weakness and go deep.
-You cannot get good at everything at once. Name the exact gap: night exteriors, interiors that feel intentional, composition.
-Follow our career paths, a structured path built by working pros instead of a scattered playlist.

Learn it, then actually do it.
-Watching teaches you something, but you only grow when you put your hands on it.
-Recreate a lighting diagram. Take a scene from shot list to shooting. Prep it and execute it.
-Grind on the weak spot, then reward yourself with something you have always wanted to try.

Ask the people who have done it.
-Bring your specific question to our weekly office hours with Shane Hurlbut, ASC and Brendan Sweeney.
-Learn in monthly coaching calls with award-winning filmmakers like Lawrence Sher, ASC, Stefan Sonnenfeld of Company 3, McG, and Vic Mensa.
-Ask for the honest feedback

Put yourself in the room.
-Our Shadow Program gets you on sets with working professionals and has jump started members’ careers.
-Stay close to the work between shoots.

Keep putting yourself out there.
-Share your work, show up in the community, reach out to people you want to work with.
-Start a group, shoot something, keep your momentum going. 
Everything behind this plan lives inside the Filmmakers Academy Annual Membership, and right now it is 50% off. Tap the link in bio and start leveling up today.
