Rose windows

Santa María de Regla Cathedral, León (1205-1301, Spain)

  
Rose window is a word used to describe a round window design, which is similar to the many petals of a rose. Most often the term is used to describe the round windows of some churches, especially those built in Gothic style. (Kiddle)

Stained glass is glass coloured by adding metallic salts when it is made. The coloured glass is made into stained glass windows. Small pieces of glass are arranged to form patterns or pictures. The glass is held together by strips of lead and supported by a rigid frame.

Painted details and yellow stain are often used to improve the design. The term stained glass is also applied to windows in which the colours have been painted onto the glass and then fused to the glass in a kiln. Stained glass is much used in Christian art but other themes are not rare. It is still popular today, and often called art glass. It is often used in luxury homes and commercial buildings. (Kiddle)

These are some designs that you can use to create your own rose window.

Camera shots

  
     There are a number of standardized camera shots (or frames), the names of which are commonly derived from varying camera-subject distances.

     These camera shots are:

• the long shot: plano general
• the full shot: plano entero
• the medium full shot (also known as American shot because of its frequent use in westerns. This was because a shot that started at knee level would reveal the weapon of a cowboy, usually holstered at his waist): Plano Americano
• the medium shot: plano medio
• the close-up: primer plano
• the extreme close up: primerísimo primer plano o plano detalle

There are other variants, such as the medium close up (between medium and close up), etc.
