Hi everyone,
I have a proposal for a video, first it talks about the action and the script and now it's talking about filming. Under the heading "Propuesta realización", it says that a Ronin or similar stabilizer will be used, allowing for speed and flexibility "a la hora de establecer el valor del plano". I'm not sure how to say this in English.
Does anyone know?
Thank you!

Note from asker:
| Hello, I'm sorry but I accidentally chose your answer as the most helpful when grading this question. I meant to choose the answer given by Charles Davis, as yours contained a grammatical error (use of "de" instead of "the") as well as a factual error ("plano" is "shot", not "plane" in this context). I have contacted customer support and they have told me that you must agree to have the grading changed to select Charles' answer as the most helpful. To do this, I would appreciate it if you could send a quick support request to customer service, referencing "http://www.proz.com/kudoz/6639412" and asking for the correct answer to be changed to the one given by Charles Davis. I apologise for the mistake, and thank you for taking the time to answer. |

establish the shot size / the scale of the shot
"Valor del plano" refers to how close the camera is to the subject and thus how wide or narrow the shot is.
"Cuando se elige un cuadro, se elige el valor del plano.
El valor de un plano corresponde al tamaño que ocupa el sujeto principal en la imagen. Tradicionalmente se distingue 7 ó 8 valores diferentes. Cada uno de esos provoca efectos diferentes en el espectador.
Plano General [...]
Plano entero [...]
Plano Americano [...]
Plano medio [...]
Plano medio corto (pecho u hombro) [...]
Primer Plano [...]
Primerísimo Primer plano [...]"

In English this is called scale or shot size:
"The scale of the shot—the distance between the camera and the shot subject—is described by a variety of terms, including close-ups, extreme close-ups, medium close-ups, long shots, extreme long shots, medium shots, and medium long shots."
https://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~sflores/FilmExperienceCh3.h...
"Static shots: A) scale. One set of shots are identified by their scale or shot sizes. The shot size determines how large the area that’s visible within the frame. Among the following common shot sizes, the distance between the camera and subject varies:
Extreme close-up shot
Close-up shot
Medium shot
Medium wide shot (American shot)
Wide shot (full shot)
Extreme wide shot (long shot)"

Hi Alison,
The procedure is that you have to get the other answerer to consent to the change. Don't worry if you can't manage this. What I would ask, if the choice stands, is that you change the glossary entry, which you can do by clicking on "Edit glossary entry" to the right of the entry (at the top of the page).

| Sorry, when grading this question I accidentally chose the other option when I meant to choose yours… Can't see any way to reverse this, I'm going to ask the moderators to help solve the issue. |
| Thank you. I have changed the glossary entry and sent a request for support. I guess they will tell me what I need to do to try to get the other answerer to consent to the change. |
