peer agreement (net): +1long distance shot Explanation: "引き" or "long shot" is the opposite wrod for "close up", a kind of technique for shooting a photo or movie. "アングル" is come from "angle", but actually "引きのアングル" is saying "a scene shot in long shot from a distant point" |

Bird's eye view Explanation: At first, I thought the phrase meant zoomed out, but I can't make it work with the context. So I Googled the phrase and found some blogs site that discuss animes, etc. In most of the photos where the writers described 引きのアングル, the photos were taken from a high point, like from a ceiling, or when outdoor, from a helicopter. So maybe the phrase meant a bird's eye view. |

long shot or track back shot Explanation: http://ca4h.org/compcorps/workshops/Video-Editing/The Langua... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2時間 (2008-06-23 09:21:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- may be 'tracking back' is good English. One thing, in particular, astonished me: a tracking shot along a wall that reveals the elderly couple, Tomi and Shukichi, sitting on the grass eating their lunch. They’d come to Tokyo to visit their son and daughter, Shige and Koichi, who are not only too busy with their own lives to spend time with their parents but are finally reluctant to provide them with a place to sleep. http://weblog.delacour.net/archives/2004_09.html |
