Shot List

Hi Blog!!  It feels like it has been forever and I am so excited to start working on this project again. The reason why I have been out for so long was because after reporting back to my pediatrician on March 4th they had told me they found blood in my urine and my hemoglobin had dropped by two points. This worried my doctor so she advised us to go back to the emergency room again that night. But instead we scheduled an ultrasound the next day. My ultrasound technician and the radiologist told my father and I that I had free fluid between my liver and kidney meaning I had internal bleeding. We went to the emergency room that night and did blood work, CT scan, and another ultrasound. We discovered that I had a stage four out of five laceration to my kidney and a stage two out of five laceration to my liver. Hearing those words come out of the doctor's mouth scared me so bad. I had no clue it was that serious. I then stayed at the hospital for an entire week. Four days in the ICU and three days in the medical floor. That week was definitely the most draining and depressing week of my life. They would draw my blood every six hours to every eight hours to every tweleve hours and every twenty-four hours throughout my stay. That was definitely one of the worst parts. I hated the feeling, they hardly did it right so sometimes they would poke me multiple times since my veins are so small, and my good veins were starting to hurt so bad. I hardly got rest since the beds were so uncomfortable and I had so many doctors interupting my sleep throughout the night. I also was not allowed to eat for two and a half days or walk at all. Not even to the bathroom. This entire experience has definitely changed me as a person and has taught me so many lessons. I understand now how quick life can change. Before the accident I always thought that this type of thing would never happen to me and I would never get into an accident. I kind of thought I was invincible in a way and I know many teenagers feel the same. This is something you understand once something like this happens to you and when it does it changes your mentality completely. Now I know why my dad can be so strict on some things and that he is not doing it to be mean. I thank the support of my family, nurses, and friends that helped me get through this and I am so grateful. Since now I am feeling better it is time to start working on this project that I was so excited to do. I was going to change my story and re-start my project but I decided to continue my idea. This time I am going to be very cautious about being on the boat and will for sure wear my lifeguard off camera. 

Here is a picture of my friends visiting me when I was in the medical floor. They're also a part of my project:

But let's jump into this project now!

So the agenda for today is to create my shot list. At first I wasn't too exactly sure what a shot list was so I did some research.

This website called Milanonte which helped me understand what a shot list in film is and 7 easy steps to create a shot list. So... here's what I got from the website

Definition:

Shotlist- a simple checklist of each shot (or scene) you need to capture on the day of a shoot. It usually contains a list of specific shots, some visual references and extra details like camera angles or lighting set-up so you don't forget a thing.

The 7 Tips:

• List the scenes-  Make a list of the key scenes that you plan to film first. Including reference photos or sketches will facilitate scanning over your shot list.
• List the individual shots you need-  Camera angle, location, position of the camera, and shot size (how big or small the subject is in the frame)
• Add extra details-  Include any particulars regarding the way you plan to film on the day. These could serve as a helpful reminder regarding the scene's tone, atmosphere, composition, or camera movement.
• Add a simple gear list- Question yourself: What equipment will you need to shoot these scenes? 
• Organize and Refine- It's time to add some structure once you've made a list of every shot you need to shoot. Assemble similar photos and display them in the sequence you intend to take them. 
• Share it with your team
• Reference it on the day

So now that I have my information put together it's time to create the shot list. I found this great website that has storyboard makers, shot list makers, script makers, and mood board makers. So I will be using this website to create my shot list

StudioBinder

Sooo... after a while of using Studio Binder I realized that you had to pay to add more shot scenes or to even download the document. Instead I created my own shot chart similar to the one on the website off of word. 

What it was looking like^

Anddd the problem it was giving me ^

So here's my new shot list from word:
