Shot Size and Subject Scale

Shot Size and Subject ScaleLegacy preview · not recipe-validated+9 variantsHonor the selected crop landmarks and subject-to-frame scale throughout the essential action. Choose focal length and camera distance together; no single crop or focal length applies to all size variants.

Principal Occupancy

Principal OccupancyLegacy preview · not recipe-validated+4 variantsMaintain the selected number of readable principals and their intended hierarchy throughout the shot; the clean-single subtype additionally excludes the partner’s body at frame edges.

Insert and Cut-In Detail

Insert and Cut-In DetailLegacy preview · not recipe-validated+1 variantEstablish the relevant object in the wider action, cut directly to its informative detail, and maintain prop identity, hand direction and action phase. Returning to the wider shot is optional.

Contextual Cutaway

Contextual CutawayLegacy preview · not recipe-validatedLeave the primary action for motivated secondary context and, if returning, resume from a plausible later state; preserve location cues without replaying the main gesture.

Establishing a Scene

Establishing a SceneLegacy preview · not recipe-validated+1 variantMake location or time information connect to the subsequent action through a persistent landmark, entrance or route; a wide view is a subtype, not the definition itself.

Master Coverage

Master CoverageLegacy preview · not recipe-validatedCover every essential beat and route within one coherent view; keep critical transfers visible rather than assuming unseen reverse angles will complete the action.

Expressive Gesture Study

Expressive Gesture StudyLegacy preview · not recipe-validatedFrame the whole expressive gesture from anticipation through hesitation to release, keeping limb ownership, the target and the unclosed gap readable.

Off-Lens Interview Setup

Off-Lens Interview SetupLegacy preview · not recipe-validatedKeep a stable off-lens interviewer eyeline and matching look space. Deliver an intelligible synchronized answer and room tone, or explicitly label the result as visual preparation only.

Controlled Product Study

Controlled Product StudyLegacy preview · not recipe-validatedPresent the object’s complete intended form with controlled material reflections; keep the camera fixed when the demonstration uses a turntable, and preserve the object’s axis and base contact.

Motivated Reaction Shot

Motivated Reaction ShotLegacy preview · not recipe-validatedEstablish a specific stimulus before the featured response, then preserve the responding person’s eyeline toward its known position and allow the reaction to develop without a reset.

Sustained Video Portrait

Sustained Video PortraitLegacy preview · not recipe-validatedSustain one stable portrait with non-repeating natural micro-movements and consistent identity; avoid imposed plot actions, montage and synthetic camera travel.
