“A #soliloquy is a monologue addressed to oneself, thoughts spoken out loud without addressing another. Soliloquies are used as a device in drama to let a character make their thoughts known to the audience, address it directly or take it into their confidence.”
#WritersTip
There are different types of camera shots in a film and each of them communicate a different narrative value. Each shot has a standardized name which are often abbreviated into 2 or 3 letters on a shot list or storyboard.
