Which term refers to the list of camera takes written down on location during the shoot?

• A. Shot Logs
• B. Raw Footage
• C. Auditions
• D. Moire Effect

Answer: (A)

On-set documentation and continuity rely on shot logs. A shot log is the written record kept during filming that lists each camera take, along with details like the scene and shot numbers, take number, camera setup, lens choice, framing notes, and any remarks about lighting or performance. This live documentation helps editors know exactly what was captured, makes it easier to select the best takes, and keeps continuity across scenes. Raw footage refers to the actual video files captured, not a written list of takes. Auditions are casting sessions to choose actors, and the Moire effect is a visual artifact caused by interference between patterns in the scene and the camera sensor, not something recorded as a shoot log.
