Shot list of Since You've Been Gone - Starfish

For our music video we have decided to use an illustration style, emphasizing on our bands performance. The performance will take place in a warehouse, with the idea that we might include some of the live performance as well.

As part of my shotlist, I’ve decided that it will be easier to assign shots for each camera we’re hiring out, instead of a sequence of events.
