SHOT LIST
A few days ago I put together a shot list. This will help my camera operator understand what kind of shots I'm looking for. It will also help me visualise the film more during the pre-production process and during the production process. On the shot list I have detailed the scene, shot number, description, framing specs, takes, and additional notes.
CAMERA SCRIPT
I found that creating a camera script really helped me create the shot list. I could physically map out the action in the scene and then place cameras around it. This helped me explain the framing in my shot list, because I had a visual reference. I beleive this will also help my camera operator even more.
Before I could put together my own camera script, I had to work out how they shot the original scenes in Breaking Bad. Scene 2 is a very action based scene and so it was important that I got it right. So, I watched the scene back and created two camera scripts, one for Gus, and one for Walt, based on what I could see on screen.
I also listed all the separate shots they used and wrote about how they were cut together in the edit.

Using these, I was then able to put my own together, matching the action from the original scene. I then added my own cameras.

And here is the final shot list:
