Architects usually appeal to plans.
Plane is a term that comes from the Latin planus and refers to something flat, smooth or without reliefs . In the field of geometry , a plane is a surface with these characteristics or an adjective that refers to what belongs to or is relative to the plane.
In this sense, a plane is an element that only has two dimensions and that houses infinite points and lines. It can be named with a capital letter. For example: “The teacher asked us to locate three points in plane A and a segment in plane B” , “In plane X, we can see how both variables intersect” .
Since it has only one side and fewer vertices than figures such as a cube or a sphere, the plane is usually widely used in interactive products such as video games and virtual guided tours, to save computer processing and reserve it for important tasks such as computing artificial intelligence and collisions between objects and characters. A billboard is known, in this context, as a flat object that always faces the direction of the camera to simulate volume; It has been widely used in the 90s to render trees, grass and fences.
The plane as a scheme or position
A plan, on the other hand, is a schematic representation and at a certain scale of a construction , a piece of land, a town, a machine or something else: “The architect has already shown me the plans of the house: I am very excited,” “ We need the municipality to approve the plans before starting construction,” “Do you have a city plan? “I would like to know if we are far from the opera house.”
Plane can also be the position or point of view from which a situation or thing is considered: “I don't understand what this author means: maybe we have to analyze it from another plane,” “I think it was a failure from the point of view.” sporting level, although the behavior of the players was worthy of imitation.”
The section of a filming that is done in a single take is called a shot.
The concept in filming
For film and television, a shot is the part of a film shot in a single take : “The actor was not satisfied with that shot and asked for the shot to be done again,” “We recorded the scene from four different shots.”
With the technological advances of storage media such as DVD and Blu-ray, some films began to be marketed with interactive moments, in which it is possible to select the desired shot among several possibilities, to observe the same scene with a certain degree. of freedom.
The plan in the field of video games
This term is also used in the field of video games , which today can reach a production level similar to that of the most expensive films. When developers choose a realistic style for their game, it becomes necessary to handle a series of concepts that were formerly typical of film and television, such as lighting, direction and post-production. It is worth mentioning that the cameras in a virtual world can have many of the same characteristics as the real ones, with the advantage of being able to be modified as desired, according to the demands of each title, without investing money in new equipment.
In a work such as a film or video game, the quality of a shot can make the difference between a good scene and a passable one, and in some cases can considerably increase opinion of the title overall. For people who are dedicated to film direction, each decision such as the position of the cameras, the degree of zoom, the percentage of the scene visible at a given moment, are all as important and unique as the others, and do not start from simple premises like "if I need to see this object better, I bring the camera closer", but they usually have a deeper meaning than what can be seen with the naked eye.
