This document contains a shotlist for a film titled "The Forest" with 31 shots planned to tell the story. It involves characters named Zain, Sachin, and Tom filming with a camera in a forest. Several shots show the characters interacting, setting up equipment, and reacting increasingly in horror to frightening footage captured on the camera of a bloody hand and ghostly figures. The shotlist progresses the narrative by having the characters discover unexplained and scary events on their camera and in the surrounding forest.
