HOME AWAY FROM HERE - SHOTLIST

Below is the shot-list Jordan Deakin and Luke Harrison have created for our final film 'Home Away From Here'. During the edit, I will use this shot-list as the main structure for the edit. I will apply these shots in a similar order for the rough edit, then further adjusting it accordingly as the editing progress continues.
