Note: at the start of the commercial, the turbo trickster is on a TRACK, making it impossible for it to manuever off course.


CU= closeup: a shot showing an object very close, sometimes completely filling up the screen space
Super= short for superimpose; a graphic, in this case the name of the toy seen visually on screen
WS= wide shot; used usually to show everything; sometimes the toy in relationship to other things
Pan Shot= to pan is to physically move the camera to follow action, or a move from left to right or vice versa
