# Shot Size And Angle Language

Use this skill when framing precision matters.

## Source Basis
- StudioBinder shot size and camera shot guides.

## Standard Vocabulary
Use standard abbreviations when useful:
- ECU: extreme close-up
- CU: close-up
- MCU: medium close-up
- MS: medium shot
- MFS / MW: medium full / medium wide
- FS: full shot
- WS / LS: wide / long shot
- EWS: extreme wide shot

## Selection Rules
- ECU/CU for micro-expression, object significance, realization, fear, obsession.
- MCU/MS for dialogue readability and neutral dramatic exchange.
- FS/WS for body behavior, blocking, environment relation, threat scale.
- EWS for spectacle, isolation, geography, or scale reset.

## Angle Rules
- low angle: power, myth, threat, grandeur
- high angle: vulnerability, surveillance, exposure
- eye level: neutrality, realism, plain confrontation
- overhead: pattern, helplessness, tactical relation
- canted: instability or rupture

## Coverage Rules
- Change shot size to change information priority.
- Avoid random shot variation; every shift must have dramatic logic.
- Preserve continuity of screen direction when cutting between angles.
