at the language of filmmaking 1a

When making a movie, the 1st CU ideally should be of the hero or the heroine.

WOMEN UNDER INFLUEANCE

NORTH BY NORTHWEST

GOOD BAD UGLY (IN THE CLIMAX, THE LENTH OF SHOT IS SONG, AND ARE EXTREME WIDES, AND THEN THE LENTH KEEPS DECRESIGN AS DOES THE FRAMING TO MAKE IT MORE TIGHTER) a good use of narration and visual communication, in the shots.

DISTANE BETWEEN CAMERA AND PROFILMIC (elements placed before camera) MUST ADD TO THE NARRATIVE STRUCTURE OF THE FILM.

For every shot there can be only 1 camera position, which is ideal.

The girl on the bridge
