Answer 1

Correct answers:
- Demonstrate effective editing of shots — Yes. A shot list shows the planned coverage and sequencing, which helps the editor visualize how shots will cut together.
- Efficiently organize shots — Yes. The main purpose of a shot list is to organize and catalog every planned shot for production and crew.

Not correct or only partly correct:
- Demonstrate time limitation — No (not really). A shot list can help estimate shooting time, but its primary purpose is shot organization and coverage; scheduling/time limits are handled by a stripboard or shooting schedule.
- Efficiently manage script development — No. Script development is done in the script and revisions; the shot list is derived from the script to plan filming, not to develop the script itself.
