The film-measurement library

Measure how any film is made.

Wideshot reads a film's grammar the way an editor does — every shot size, camera move, cut and line, measured. Start from a title you know, or a director's hand, and turn it into a style you can direct with.

Bloody Sunday
Paul Greengrass · 2002
Moving-camera verite. Wide-to-close grammar, long masters cut against fast bursts, two overlapping voices.

IN THE CORPUS
In the Mood for Love
Wong Kar-wai · 2000
Composed and held. Tight singles through doorways and mirrors, slow moves, long dwelling takes — the opposite pole to verite.

The Hurt Locker

Coverage under pressure. Many angles per beat, restless handheld, fast inserts — a short clip still fingerprints cleanly.
