“Biomechanics of a Lacrosse Shot” Lacrosse is defined as a ball game invented by American Indians‚ now played by two teams who try to propel a ball into each other’s goal by means of long-handled hooked sticks that are loosely strung with a kind of netted pouch (Farlex‚ Inc.). Behind every shot taken in a lacrosse game‚ elements of biomechanics are implemented.

In the film Indochine‚ before Camille’s wedding‚ there is a shot of both Eliane and Camille sitting on a bench in front of a lotus lake in the Hue temple. To me‚ this shot is very beautiful and captivating. It is a long shot‚ slightly high angle‚ and it is shot directly from behind the two characters. It is a deep focus shot so we can see all that appears in the scene. The lightning is low in the foreground‚ caused by the roof overhead the two characters. In front of them is a lake filled with
