Organize shots scene-by-scene with camera specs, setup letters, storyboard view, and drag-and-drop reordering. Know exactly what you need before you step on set.
Generic task lists don't understand shot types, setups, or camera specs. Production Slate gives you a purpose-built shot list where every field matters — from wide shots to extreme close-ups, from dolly moves to static lockoffs. Planning on paper first? Start with the free shot list template and storyboard template.
Shots are grouped under their scene so you can plan coverage methodically. Natural scene sorting (1, 2, 3... not 1, 10, 11) keeps everything in script order.
Switch from list view to a visual board layout to see your shots as cards. Drag to reorder within a scene on the board too — not just the list.
Wide shot, medium shot, close-up, extreme close-up, over-the-shoulder, POV, and more. Select from industry-standard types or enter your own.
Cameras and lenses from your Equipment page auto-populate the shot form dropdowns. Selecting one shows a "Linked to Equipment" badge so prep stays in sync across views.
Group shots into setups (A, B, C) so the AD can schedule camera moves efficiently. Know exactly how many setups you need per scene.
Reorder shots within a scene by dragging them in either the list or the storyboard grid. Works on desktop and mobile with native touch support — no finicky third-party libraries.
Rapid-fire shot entry. Hit save and immediately start the next shot without navigating away. Build a full shot list in minutes, not hours.
Tag specific equipment and cast members needed for each shot. Know what resources are required before you call "rolling."
Four printable layouts: 2×3 Portrait (6/page), 2×2 Portrait (4/page for bigger frames), 3×2 Landscape, or 2×2 Landscape. Every frame stays 16:9 regardless of orientation.
Pick a scene from the dropdown and every shot from your shot list appears as its own collapsible card with takes underneath. Click "+ Add Take" inside a shot and the new row clones the previous take's roll, FPS, T-stop, lens, and camera so the AC isn't re-typing camera setup all day. Clip name and notes always start blank because they're per-take.
Each take row uses a dirty-aware debounce — typing in column A and tabbing to column B saves both, sibling refetches don't stomp the cell you're mid-typing in, and changing the date filter flushes any pending patch on the way out. No more "did that save?" moments.
Camera log rows that don't match a shot in the shot list (legacy data, deleted shots, typos) surface in an Unassigned section with a one-click "Reassign to shot →" action. No silent data loss.
Landscape PDF with Scene, Shot, Take, Clip, Roll, FPS, T-Stop, Focus, Lens, Camera, and Notes. Hand it to the DIT at wrap.
A Read Script button in the Shot List toolbar opens the formatted screenplay reader — check what a scene actually says while you plan its coverage.
Select a passage in the reader's Lining mode and turn it into a shot: the selection becomes the description, and its length lands in the notes in page eighths.
Your shot list connects to the rest of your production data, so it stays in sync with your scenes, schedule, and equipment.
Build your shot list after your script breakdown, then use it to plan your shoot days and communicate coverage to your team.
Import your script and let Production Slate detect scenes, locations, and characters automatically.
Add shots per scene with type, camera, lens, and setup letters. Use Save & Add Another for speed.
Reference your shot list on set. Check off completed shots and track remaining coverage.
