Cinematography

Wide shot, mid-shot, medium close-up,
close-up (CU for short),
BCU, FBCU (that's
Fucking Big Close-Up, Ma'am),
Irish Salute (think
just the eyes),
macro (for flies' eyes to see it):
Dutched, if I want it
at an angle;
Dollied, if I want it
moving;
Spanished, if I want it
gone;
DFI, if I have a
different fucking idea;
and if I ask a spark why
a light's not working,
the fucking fucker's
fucking fucked.

This is the language of my working day:
abstruse and vulgar and fizzing with that
evanescent poetry
of the workplace.
