During filming I brought my shot list in order to make sure every shot was captured and nothing was forgotten. After each shots I made sure to check it off to keep track of our progress. Having a shot list allowed us to go out of order as well. This was especially important since the bikers were only there for one day of filming. Using it allowed us to prioritize all the bully-related shots first and complete the rest on a separate day without confusion.

Finishing Production on time
Luckily after our two days (around 4 hours of filming time) we completed all our shots.
During our second day of filming, we checked our shot list to see if we had missed any and luckily we realized before it was too late. For shot #6, I noticed that in the notes I had written there was back and front shot of Jenny pushing Forrest to run away from the bullies.
If we had not checked our shot list, it was a guarantee we would have missed it and been forced to shoot it on another day, which costed time.
Utilizing a shotlist for this project specifically has made me realize its importance to being efficient, accurate and staying on schedule.
