	Signature Shot	comment	A recurring shot in the works of a film director. Can form part of a Signature Style. The literary/unintentional equivalent of this is an Author Catchphrase, and the actor equivalent of this is just a normal catchphrase ("I'll be back"). May be the result of conscious or subconscious Author Appeal. An important distinction to make in this trope is the difference between mise-en-scene and cinematography. Mise-en-scene is WHAT is shown on screen, while cinematography is HOW it's shown on screen. The two frequently combine to make a director's signature shot. So Michael Bay's love for helicopters at sunset is more "signature mise-en-scene" (see Creator Thumbprint), but his usage of low angled telephoto shots of said helicopters silhouetted over the sunset would be a Signature Shot. Others walk the line- Tarantino's close-ups on feet are sort of signature mise-en-scene (feet) and sort of signature cinematography (the close-up on the feet as anchor point for a larger scene). We're looking for that cinematography- that particular use of the camera, its focus and placement. Many of these can be found in trivia sections on IMDb. Not to be confused with a Pinball designer's preferred table layout. Does not include overarching Signature Style elements of a body of work, or explicit trademarks, such as Alfred Hitchcock's silhouette or Walt Disney's signature.
