The Martini Shot

Philihp Busby,0 min read

In film making and photography, the Martini shot is the last shot of the day. According to Dave Knox, it is named so because "the next shot is out of a glass"1 .

The second to last shot of the day is the Abby Singer shot. As an assistant director, near the end of a day of shooting, Abby Singer would say "this and one more" so the crew could begin to tear down parts of the set.

Named after Elian Gonzales' aunt, the Marislasis shot is the third to last, the Maya Angelou shot is the fourth to last shot, and the Lou Nidus shot is the shot before lunch.
