The 5-Shot Method works for any scene, any subject, any niche:
• Shot 1 — Wide Shot
Establish the world. Show the full environment before anything moves. City street, stadium, desert, studio. The viewer needs to know where they are before they care about what happens next.
json
{
"shot_type": "wide shot",
"subject": "footballer on an empty street court",
"camera_position": "eye level, 15 meters from subject",
"environment": "São Paulo street court, golden hour",
"motion": "slow push forward"
}
• Shot 2 — Medium Shot
Move closer. Show the subject from waist up. This is where personality and energy enters the frame. The viewer starts to connect.
json
{
"shot_type": "medium shot",
"subject": "footballer preparing to juggle the ball",
"camera_position": "eye level, 3 meters from subject",
"motion": "static hold with slight drift left"
}
• Shot 3 — Close-Up
Lock in on one detail. Face. Hands. Feet. Product. This is the emotional core of the video. Use it for tension, focus, or brand placement.
json
{
"shot_type": "extreme close-up",
"subject": "football boot making contact with ball",
"camera_position": "low angle, 30cm from foot",
"motion": "slow motion impact"
}
• Shot 4 — Action Shot
Release the energy. This is the peak moment — the trick, the jump, the move. Ultra-low angle or dynamic tracking. Maximum impact.
json
{
"shot_type": "action shot",
"subject": "footballer executing rainbow flick",
"camera_angle": "ultra-low angle",
"motion": "fast track following the ball arc",
"style": "slow motion, cinematic"
}
• Shot 5 — Ending Shot
Pull back or freeze. Give the viewer a moment to breathe. Wide shot again, aerial view, or a slow fade. This is where your brand, logo, or CTA lives.
json
{
"shot_type": "wide shot",
"camera_angle": "top-down aerial",
"subject": "footballer standing still, ball at feet",
"motion": "slow pull back",
"lighting": "golden hour fade"
