1. Camera Shots: Framing the Image | 镜头景别：框取图像
Close-Up (CU): A shot that frames a subject tightly, usually from the shoulders up, to expose intimate emotion or crucial detail. Memory tip: Think of ‘closing in’ on a single tear rolling down a cheek.
特写镜头 (CU): 从肩部以上紧密框取被摄体的镜头，用于揭示私密的情感或关键细节。记忆窍门：想象“贴上去”对准一滴滚落的泪水。

远景镜头 (LS): 展现完整的人体以及大量周边环境，建立背景与空间感。记忆窍门：远景让你“远远”看到事件发生的地点。
Extreme Close-Up (ECU): Magnifies a small feature – an eye, a ring, a fingerprint – to create intensity or symbolism. Memory tip: ECU = Every Clue Up-close.
大特写镜头 (ECU): 放大微小特征，如一只眼睛、一枚戒指、一枚指纹，营造张力或象征意义。记忆窍门：ECU 可记成 “Examining Clues Up-close”（贴近检视线索）。

2. Camera Angles: Power and Perspective | 摄像机角度：权力与视角
Eye-Level Angle: Camera is placed at the character’s eye height, creating equality and naturalism. Memory tip: We see the world at eye level; it feels ‘normal’.
平视角度: 摄像机置于角色眼睛高度，营造平等与写实感。记忆窍门：我们看世界就是平视的，所以感觉“正常”。
High Angle: Camera looks down on a subject, making it appear small, vulnerable or weak. Memory tip: High angle = looking down on someone, diminishing their power.
俯拍角度: 摄像机从上往下拍，使被摄体显得渺小、脆弱或弱势。记忆窍门：俯拍就像是居高临下俯视对方，削弱其力量。
Low Angle: Camera shoots upwards, exaggerating the subject’s size, dominance and authority. Memory tip: Think of a superhero shot from below – larger than life.
