In film , an insert is a shot of part of a scene filming scene as filmed from a different angle and or focal length from the master shot .

There are more exact terms to use when the new, inserted shot is another view of actors close up , head shot , knee shot , Two Shot two shot . So the term insert is often confined to views of objects and body parts, other than the head. Thus CLOSE UP of the gunfighter, INSERT of his hand quivering above the holster, TWO SHOT of his friends watching anxiously, INSERT of the clock ticking.

refimprove date July 2009 MOS is a standard filmmaking jargon abbreviation , used in production reports to indicate an associated film segment has no sound film synchronous audio track . It stands for Motor Only Sync or Motor Only Shot . Omitting sound recording from a particular shot can save time and relieve the film crew of certain requirements, such as remaining silent during a take, and thus MOS takes are common on film shoots, most obviously when the subjects of the take are not speaking or otherwise generating useful sound. In post production , an MOS take may be combined with miscellaneous sounds recorded on location, the musical soundtrack , voice over s, or sound effect s created by a foley artist .

The solution was to use a special form of motor which has multiple windings in it, and which can be connected to another identical motor in such a way that turning one motor a certain distance will turn the other motor exactly the same distance. The motors did not have to be close together, and, with appropriate circuitry, did not have to be of the same size or power. These motors were called Selsyn self synchronous motors.

It is what grabs the viewer s attention, preferably in the first 5 10 minutes, as a reader might expect to find a literary Narrative hook hook in the first chapter of a novel. During the Pitch filmmaking pitch process, a screenwriter will use a hook to help prove the bankable quality of her or his screenplay. ref http www.craftyscreenwriting.com hook.html ref Knowing the importance of a good hook, many screenwriters write their hooks first. Conceivably, the life of a screenplay might evolve from hook to 1 page synopsis, to 4 page treatment, to full Film treatment treatment , to scriptment , to screenplay. One can briefly state a good hook in one or two sentences, introducing the protagonist, the conflict that drives the story, and what the protagonist will achieve with either triumph or defeat. The hook is the viewer s own question of whether the conflict can be resolved, so a screenwriter might want to test his or her hook by turning it into a question.

distinguish Pay to Play In filmmaking , a guarantee is a term of an actor or director s contract that guarantees remuneration if, through no fault of their own, the artist is released from the contract. Such an arrangement is known informally as a play or pay contract . Many stars insist on guarantees in their contract due to the major time commitment agreeing to appear in a film can mean. For example, Kurt Russell s decision to appear in the film Soldier film Soldier , for which he was paid 15 million, was a total commitment of 18 months, during which time he was not able to appear in another film. If the film were cancelled, or if he were replaced but not if he withdrew of his own accord , Russell would be paid 15 million, or a large part of that fee, to compensate him for clearing his schedule. Studios are reluctant to agree to guarantees but accept them as part of the deal for signing major talent. They also have the advantage of enabling a studio to simply remove a player under such a contract with few legal complications. Examples of Play or Pay Unreferenced section date December 2007 When a writer s strike halted all production at Warner Bros.
