There was not a structure as such, when coming up with this decided shot-list. I really made use of mental creative imagery, when listening to the music choice. Certain tones and rhythms of the music influenced my use of more dynamic shots such as time-lapse, atmosphere shots etc...


I came up with the shot list in a series of motifs - this allowed me to have flexibility whilst filming. In knowing the music really well, I had a general idea of locations I wanted to film in etc... These locations would then influence my choice of shot. For example, standing high on the Southbank Centre inspired me to do a dynamic  pan and lens flare of the bright London City lights.


As explained before I did not want to have a set shotlist prior to filming as I wanted the shoot to feel natural, home-made and organic. However this shot-list will provide a good foundation and basis for inspiration whilst we are out shooting.
