First rough draft of my shot list and seeing how my camera works

 After doing the whole investigation into how the shot list would be done, I have seen multiple templates to complete and compared them, finally deciding into choosing this table, an alternated version of a chart i have seen. The details of the production are below the chart, it seems more organized and it is not necessary to have those details to be seen all the time, what it is important is the information in the chart. Since I think separating the different scenes and their shots, I decided to do multiple charts and tables. This would help me divide my time to work one scene at a time, their shots with numbers associated with them. I like feeling this as a professional shooting, makes me feel excited when it is time to shoot and i will be saying "scene 1- shot 3",  getting a little closer to my dream of becoming a film director. With that, to finish the chart and move on to a storyboard, i would want to know the standards for filming and inspect the capacity for my camera.  

It seems, in commercial standards, the average frame rate is 24 frames per second (fps), with a 1920x1080 frame. II checked through the settings of my phone, my main camera of use, that the standard of my video recording is 30 fps at 1920x1080 frame, with the option to change if needed. I want to compare how they would look before deciding into an specific frame rate for my film; here are the comparisons side by side:

24 fps:                                                           

                    30 fps:


I honestly do not see the difference and would rather use the 30 fps, since seems to work better and have more of a "natural" look and flow. Another benefit of choosing that medium is that it is more compressed and would occupy less space in my personal storage. Now with that information accessible, i would be finish the tentative, subjected to change, first shot list for my first scene:

In my future planning schedule, i doubt this scene would be the first, since it includes Mariposa and I would need to see when the person who will help me is available. With this, i have a better idea of what to sketch, since I felt a little dubious of my drawing skills, but this gives me an idea on how to do it,  and continuing to do future shot lists for my other scenes.
