Simple Shots Anaylize: American Beauty 1999 (Sexual Fantasy in stadium)



Very long shot(VLS): It is applied in opening sequences, where the figure and its movement are of near equal importance as the background. Used widely where recognition of the individual person.



Medium Shot(MS):Attention is clearly drawn to the figure ratherthan the background. This is because the subject's eyes can be fully seen and therefore the eyeline of the subject draws the attentationof the audience. Eye movement can be clearly seen. the approximate age of the person can be determined.





Close up(CU): Framing the shot without a part of the shoulder showing. this has the effect of the subject appearing to be dismembered from their body. The attention of the viewer is drawn to the foreground only, focus on the subject's eyes and mouth. Skin colour and texture can be clearly seen.Eyes at this stage are either condition.



Medium long shot(MLS):In this shot the subject is framed with headroom and is cut with the lower frame either above or below the knee. The choice, above or below the knee, depends upon the sex and the clothing of the subject and the speed of the movement. Facial changed can be seen, but not detailed.





Big close-up (BCU): The upper frame cuts the subject's brow.Skin texture can clearly be seen,eyebrow hair becomes predominant, as do eyelines. Any face movemomt on this shot is consequently overemphasised because it becomes unrealistic on screen. this shot is so close that it can only be used in situation of emotion, such as a love scene or an aggressive scene.







Long shot(LS):The subject with headroom and footroom covers the entire frame from top to bottom. The clothing is more recognisable as is gender. And this shot often use with a moving person, e.g. a subject running, walking, moving hands etc.
No significant loss due to domestic cut-off. The position of the figure in the frame, screen right or left, is critial to allow for body movement.



Extreme long shot(XLS or ELS )The subject is so small in the frame that it is totally unrecognisable. the figure is less than one-sixth of the height of the frame. it is possible to tellif the subject is human, but not possible to tell if the subject is male or female. The XLS can conveyatmosphere and enviroment.



Extreme close-up(XCU or ECU): The framing of this shot concentrates on one or sometimes two features; eyes or eyes and nose, nose and mouth or mouth alone. Emphasis on the eyes clearly shows the colour. eye movement is enormous.
