How do you turn a script into a shot list? Start with what the audience needs to see.

Ordinary People and Hereditary both explore family grief. Genre changes what we expect next.

What should your colors achieve? Compare Wallace’s gold office with Enemy’s muted bedroom. Pick references for the feeling you want, then look at how the lighting, surfaces, and wardrobe produce it.

Four Villeneuve films. Four very different color palettes.

Enemy carries muted greens and hazy yellows from the bedroom to the classroom. Those ordinary spaces share a subdued palette that helps them feel part of the same uneasy world.

Play the finished track while reading the plan from top to bottom. If a section has no visual idea, or you can’t picture how it cuts together, solve it before the shoot.

Give the crew a cue they can act on. In your shot list, note the move, the starting and ending frames, the equipment, and what triggers it. “Start on her glance at the door” is more useful than “slow push-in.”

Zoom or dolly? The subject can end up the same size while the room looks different.

Try the same push-in twice: once just before the line, once as the listener reacts. The speed can stay the same. The cue changes whose moment the audience watches.
