Two shot, but what about the five shot? Options

[thekohser]

A splendid bit of vandalism and irrelevant link spam, all wrapped up in one. It's lasted well over 1.5 years, and it's been seen by over 30,000 people.

Similarly, a three shot has three people in the composition of the frame. In these shots the characters are given more importance; this type of image can also be seen in print advertising.

Four shot scenes are relatively uncommon, but when seen regularly comprise four persons within frame.

Five shot scenes, whilst more common, rarely have 5 people in them and typically have either 6 or 3.5 (the extra 0.5 allowing for a balance of dramatic irony and mise-en-scene).[1]

The really ironic thing about this is that five-shot scenes (or what we showbiz folks call "five-shotters") actually do usually have either 6 or 3.5 people in them. Only it's not to obtain a balance of dramatic irony or mise-en-scene, it's either to make the group-sex orgy seem like a bigger event, or else to throw in some gratuitous blood and guts, which is what you get when you chop a person in half on camera.

Isn't there some sort of "speedy delete" rule for things like this? Or did they get rid of that and not tell us? I mean, what a stupid article.
