景别指南

The subject appears as a small, relatively minor element within an expansive and vast environment; in this framing choice, the location itself becomes the true subject and focal point of the frame, with the human presence serving to provide scale rather than being the primary point of interest.

什么时候用： Openings, establishing geography, isolation, and scale - the world before the person, where the setting itself carries the story before any character becomes the focus.

The full subject is visible in their entirety with generous, ample room surrounding them on all sides; both the subject's body and the encompassing environment share the frame in relatively balanced proportion, each maintaining clear presence and readability.

什么时候用： Establishing a character in a place, blocking-heavy scenes, physical comedy, and any moment where the relation between body and surroundings matters as much as the face.

The frame cuts just above the head and just below the feet, so the entire body—from crown to sole—fills the full height of the frame.

什么时候用： Costumes, posture, and movement - showing exactly how a character carries themselves, including how garments sit and the choices made in stance and motion.

The frame cuts at mid-thigh—a crop with roots in classic Westerns, historically chosen to keep a gunslinger's holster and draw hand visible within the composition.

什么时候用： Confrontations and swagger; a power framing that keeps hands and hips in play, so stance and gesture stay central.

The frame cuts at the waist, striking a balance: close enough to read facial expression and emotion, yet wide enough to capture hand gestures and upper-body language.

什么时候用： This is the workhorse of dialogue, the shot you keep coming back to for conversations, for interviews, and for most scene coverage.

The frame cuts cleanly at the chest line: the face anchors the composition and carries expression, but the shoulders remain visible to preserve body language and physical presence.

什么时候用： Emotional dialogue beats, and reactions that still need a hint of posture to read on screen.

The face dominates and fills the frame, with the cut positioned around the shoulders; every subtle shift in expression, every micro-expression becomes instantly legible to the viewer.

什么时候用： Key emotional moments, decisions, and beats that put the audience inside a character's head.

A fragment of the face—typically the eyes, or sometimes a mouth or forehead detail—dominates and fills the entire frame, isolating a single expressive feature from the rest of the visage.

什么时候用： Maximum intensity: use it for realization, terror, obsession, the western standoff stare.

A tight, focused detail of an object or action—hands gripping, fingers trembling, a letter being unfolded, a key turning in a lock—capturing tactile specificity rather than a face.

什么时候用： Story-critical props, cutaways that carry plot information, tactile texture, and any insert that makes a narrative point through a physical detail.
