vassssup....
movies are perfect. its as simple as that. original created as a mistake once a man with Parkinsons took far to many pictures of his wife outside the lincon memorial, flipping through the pictures caused a "movie-ious" effect (latin for nacho cheese), the modern film was produced.
in more recent times, the movie has incorporated sound. also actors and even a set. so with all this in mind, the main reason behind the creation of the piece is to entertain you. thy make you cry, make you laugh, or even make you wish you didn't decide to become a priest.
for any ready and keen director, simple language of the screen must first be understood. so here is where it gets a tad confusing, try and keep up.
if you ever see any of these abreviations on a script or piece of work, this will help you understand what it means.
WS – Wide Shot
The WS gives a place and the geogrpahy of the scene, also can give time and timeline of era.
LS – Long Shot
The LS is a great technique to use to establish where a scene is taking place. This shot takes in the whole height of the person showing the background as well.
MLS – Medium Long Shot
The MLS is a shot that has a narrower field than the LS but is much broader
MS – Mid Shot
The MS is great to use when showing charcters carrying out an action.
MCU – Mid Close Up
MCU is used to show two things in one shot, such as a person and what they are doing.
CU – Close-up
The CU can be used to reviel more about the character and to create tension
BCU – Big Close Up
BCU is used when revieling detail of characters face and during interviews
ECU – Extreme Close Up
The ECU is used in extreme cases to show extreme detail of a person or object.
