As Maximus told his men before fighting the Germanic tribe:
"What you do now echoes into eternity."
What you do during pre-production echoes into your completed film like nothing else. Part of the crucial planning during pre-production includes things like shot lists, story boards and shot maps.
Even if you're good at "winging it" you'll be blown away by how much a shot list will help you. I personally do my shot lists and shot maps on location with a camera, to see creative limitations and streamline production.
As we indie filmmakers know, time is the most valuable asset we have on set. A shot list and other pre-production tasks will create time that you wouldn't have had any other way.
