Best Answer

A medium close up is a film or video shot that is framed from the chest upwards. Usually, a small space is included above the head.

The exact position of the top and bottom of the picture are not absolutely always the same: artistic variations, the shape of the person's head, hair or hat, camera angle etc mean there is some variability.

Typically, though, the bottom of the picture is a little below the armpits. For a woman, sometimes the framing is influenced by a wish to complement or emphasise the shape of her breasts.

A medium close up is often used for "talking heads" - newsreaders, people giving information, people being interviewed, etc. As we're used to seeing this shot every day on our screens in this context, it is a fairly neutral looking shot for a main person who is talking.

A closer shot (e.g. just head and shoulders, or closer still) could be used if things start to involve emotion or drama.

What do you write for the dressage moves on petz horsez?

In the dressage in "Horsez", you click the blue and yellow dots that randomly appear on the screen. When you get close to a green bouncing square, just go through it. The green bouncing square will say something, it will say: Medium walk, free walk, collected walk, medium trot, free trot, collected trot, medium gallop, free gallop, collected gallop, piaffe, pirouette or flying change. These are all called gaits. When you come up to a pink and white floating circle, it will have a question mark on it. As you go through it, you will have to draw a shape, according to what gait you are riding at. There is no warning or lesson on what you have to draw, so this is just a little cheat sheet. :) These are the shapes/symbols you have to draw on the screen: Medium trot: V Free trot: V Collected trot: V Medium walk: S Free walk: S Collected walk: S Medium gallop: G Free gallop: G Collected gallop: G Medium canter: Z or C Free canter: Z or C Collected canter: Z or C Piaffe: C Pirouette: Draw a backwards 'c'... like this, ) Flying change: V Have fun! :)
