A shot list is important because it breaks down how each scene will be filmed, even if you already have a screenplay or outline. It helps you visualize the story, keeps the shoot organized, improves communication with the crew, ensures you get all the necessary shots, and helps with time and budget planning. It gives the director creative control over how the story is shown on screen.
