I experimented with different ideas for creating a short list and shooting schedule. Shot lister looked like a good app however it was too expensive when you included the necessary paid version.   I also tried studio binder however restricted use to only half of the screenplay. I then downloaded Excel spreadsheet however even this was unnecessarily complicated.I then decided it was easier to just write in the screenplay camera angles etc. I looked at using a strip book, however again this is unnecessarily complicated. I then just chose to divide up the script looking at locations and actors needed/participants.One of the main problems I may face is equipment and location availability. To mitigate this I created a call sheet, this allows the team to have a greater understanding and reduce errors in planning. Shooting Locations: Camera Shop Darkroom Study Car
