CINEside | Shot List & Script

CINEside is for the conversation between cinematographer and director: how a screenplay becomes images. Every shot is anchored to the line in the script it comes from -not just to the scene - so the shot list never drifts away from the text, and the text never disappears behind the logistics. Import the screenplay, plan the shots, place camera and light on the floorplan, write your notes for each department, build the schedule - and export a shooting script your crew can actually read: script on the right, shots on the left. Made by a working cinematographer for narrative film. CINEside doesn't run your set live, sync your crew, or draw your storyboards. It hands your departments what they need as documents - schedule, shooting order, notes, floorplans, lighting plans - and keeps the screenplay and the visual concept in one file, on your own device, from the first read-through to the last shooting day. No sign-up, no cloud, no subscription. WHAT IT DOES - Import screenplays as PDF - CINEside detects your scenes automatically - Build your shot list with size, angle, lens, camera move, POV/OS, multi-camera setup, and unit assignment - Anchor shots directly to passages in the script, so nothing drifts out of sync as the draft changes - Place camera, character, light, and grip positions right on floorplans and lighting plans - mark position, rotation - Sketch right inside a shot – with Apple Pencil or your finger - Attach reference photos and location images - per scene, per shot, or per location - and floorplans per scene and per location - Color-tag scenes across the project for time period, mood, or any other category relevant to you - Add notes for specific departments - Director, Gaffer, AD, Art Department, Costume, Key Grip, and more - Flag VFX and SFX shots and export separate lists for post-production - Build a multi-day shooting schedule - drag scenes onto shoot days, order shots, export per day or across the whole shoot - Generate a Location Dossier for tech scouts - notes, photos, floorplan, and every scene at that location in one document - Export your shooting script as a facing-pages PDF, shot list, or notes sheet, previewed right on your iPad - Mark scenes as shot and filter for what's still left to shoot - Share your work with one tap via CINEside CONNECT WORKS OFFLINE CINEside doesn't need a network connection to work. Your script and your project stay on your device - nothing is uploaded anywhere unless you choose to export or share it yourself. NO AI, NO MAGIC CINEside doesn't generate ideas, suggest shots, or have an opinion about your visual language - that's entirely yours. It keeps your preparation organized: the script, the shots, the notes, the references, all in one place. FULL VERSION Download CINEside and work through a real scene with your own screenplay.
