Does this have a source or is it just a common film adage? It's a nice metaphor, but it seems a little skewed - I'd be more inclined to write, "Shots are compared to sentences with each frame being a letter and scenes being paragraphs." - Indeed this matches up a lot more closely with a page of writing, since in dialogue, the usual length of a shot is one sentence of dialogue. Is this more accurate or am I speaking heresy against old film-talk? — EatMyShortz 09:13, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I've added several other shot types in the "by field size" section, like the extreme close-up, the medium close-up, and the medium long-shot. I've also added brief descriptions by each shot type. I added in an anecdote about closure within the frame that necessitates the use of these shot types. Musick64 ( talk) 16:47, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
