1. Visual Codes & Camera Shots | 视觉符码与镜头类型
Close-up (CU): A shot that tightly frames a person’s face or a specific detail. It creates intimacy or draws attention to emotions. Memory hook: ‘CU’ sounds like ‘see you’ up close.
特写镜头：紧密聚焦于人物面部或特定细节的镜头，营造亲密感或突出情感。记忆窍门：’CU’ 像在说 “看见你” 靠得很近。
Extreme Close-up (ECU): Framing just the eyes or a small object, magnifying tension. Think ‘Even Closer Up’.
极端特写：只框取眼睛或微小物体，放大紧张感。记住 “比特写更近一步”。
Long Shot (LS): Shows the whole subject in its surroundings, often used to establish location. ‘LS’ links to ‘Landscape Setting’.
远景：展示主体全貌及其所处环境，常用于交代场景。联想 ‘LS’ → ‘大场景 Landscape Setting’。
Low Angle: Camera positioned below the subject, looking up, making the subject appear powerful or threatening. Mnemonic: Looking up = power up.
低角度：摄影机从下往上拍，让被摄体显得强大或有威胁。口诀：仰视 = 威力上升。
High Angle: Camera looks down on the subject, reducing its dominance. ‘High’ equals ‘helpless from high up’.
高角度：摄影机俯拍，削弱主体的支配感。“高” 产生 “高处看下来显得无助”。
Mise-en-scène: Everything placed in front of the camera – setting, lighting, costume, props, actor positioning. Memory phrase: ‘Mise en scene = what’s seen’. Break the word: ‘mise’ → ‘placed in scene’.

Non-diegetic Sound: Sound that comes from outside the story world, such as film score, voice-over narration. ‘Non’ = not part of character reality.
非剧情声：来自故事世界外部的声音，如电影配乐、画外旁白。记忆：“非真”——角色听不到的声音。
Sound Bridge: Sound from the next scene begins before the current visual ends, smoothing transitions. Think ‘bridge’ carrying you to the next moment.

Continuity Editing: System of cutting that maintains a smooth, logical flow of action, often using shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. ‘Continuity’ = ‘continuous flow’.
连贯剪辑：保持情节流畅、逻辑连贯的剪辑系统，常使用正反打镜头和180度线。联想“连续不中断”。
Jump Cut: An abrupt transition that breaks continuity, drawing attention to the constructed nature of the media. Think ‘jump’ = jarring skip.

9. Memory Technique Summary | 记忆技巧总结
Combine acronyms (PIES, DAE, CRS), visual hooks (mise-en-scène = ‘what’s seen’), and rhyming (montage = collage) for rapid recall. Write each term on a flashcard with the English definition, Chinese translation and your own mnemonic doodle. Testing yourself with the pair method – cover the term, read the definition and try to recall – reinforces the neural pathway far more than simply re-reading the glossary.
综合运用首字母缩略词（PIES, DAE, CRS）、视觉钩子（场面调度 = “场景里的布置”）和押韵法（montage → collage）实现快速回忆。把每个术语做成卡片，写下英文定义、中文翻译和你的记忆涂鸦。采用配对测试法——遮住术语，看着定义回忆，比单纯重读术语表更能强化神经通路。
10. Build Your Own Speed-Memorisation Toolkit | 建立你的速记工具箱
Use the method of loci: walk through your bedroom and mentally place each term in a specific spot. For example, imagine ‘diegetic sound’ echoing from your wardrobe and ‘non-diegetic sound’ as the music coming from your phone speaker. Chunk terms by category (visual codes, narrative, audience) rather than alphabetic order. Review the most difficult terms before bed – sleep consolidates memory. Finally, practise using these terms in full sentences: write a one-line analysis of a scene you watched yesterday, forcing three terms into a tight paragraph.
使用记忆宫殿：穿过你的卧室，把每个术语放在特定位置。想象“剧情声”从衣柜传出，“非剧情声”是你的手机扬声器里的音乐。按类别（视觉符码、叙事、受众）组合术语，而非按字母顺序。睡前复习最难的术语——睡眠能巩固记忆。最后，练习用完整句子使用术语：写一句对昨天观看片段的单行分析，强行把三个术语塞进简短段落。
