  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by geegl on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Dialogue Focal Character Temperament AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/geegl/directorskills/tree/main/output/books/master-shots-v2/dialogue-focal-character-temperament
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/geegl/directorskills.git /tmp/directorskills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/directorskills/output/books/master-shots-v2/dialogue-focal-character-temperament .claude/skills/dialogue-focal-character-temperament
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Dialogue Focal Character Temperament in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Dialogue Focal Character Temperament on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Dialogue Focal Character Temperament is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

焦距决定角色气质

R — 原文 (Reading)

短一点的镜头会让人变得有些恐怖,而长镜头则会让人看起来比较和善。

— Christopher Kenworthy, 第1章, p.g_0005


I — 方法论骨架 (Interpretation)

焦距不仅是构图工具,更是"气质滤镜"——同一演员在不同焦距下会被观众感知为完全不同的人。

原理:短焦(广角)镜头近距离拍摄时会产生透视畸变——鼻子变大、脸部拉伸、空间扭曲。这种畸变在观众潜意识中与"威胁""扭曲""不正常"关联。长焦镜头远距离拍摄时压缩空间——脸部变平、背景虚化、轮廓柔和。这与"友善""脆弱""需要保护"关联。

操作决策流程:先问"这个角色在当前场景中应该被观众如何看待?"→ 如果是威胁/反派/压迫者→用短焦近拍;如果是友善/脆弱/需要同情→用长焦远拍。

关键:同一场景中两个对话角色使用不同焦距拍摄,可以直观表现力量不对等——这比任何表演指导都有效。

A1 — 书中的应用 (Past Application)

案例 1: 《反抗军》的力量对比

  • 问题: 如何让一个角色看起来比另一个更强势?
  • 方法论的使用: 强势角色用短焦+低角度+仰拍;弱势角色用长焦+平视角度。三重对比中,焦距差异是最关键的一重
  • 结论: 短焦让强势角色"看起来更大",长焦让弱势角色"看起来更和善"
  • 结果: 观众无需台词就能感知谁是"坏人"

案例 2: 《跨国银行》的门边对峙

  • 问题: 角色突然出现在门口,如何通过镜头选择暗示他的威胁性?
  • 方法论的使用: 用短焦+低角度拍摄门口的角色——畸变让他看起来更有压迫感
  • 结论: 焦距选择在角色出场的瞬间就建立了观众的预判
  • 结果: 观众在角色开口说话之前就知道他是威胁

A2 — 触发场景 (Future Trigger) ★

用户会在什么情境下需要这个 skill?

  1. 同一演员在不同场景需要不同的气质——"这个角色前半段是好人后半段黑化,怎么用镜头区分?"
  2. 不确定用什么焦距拍对话——"我该用50mm还是85mm?"
  3. 两个角色对话需要视觉化力量对比——"怎么让观众一眼看出谁更强?"
  4. 反派出场需要视觉冲击——"反派第一次亮相怎么拍?"

语言信号

  • "用什么焦距拍"、"镜头选择"
  • "让角色看起来更可怕/更友善"、"视觉区分好坏人"
  • "力量对比"、"角色气质"
  • "反派怎么拍"、"压迫感"

与相邻 skill 的区分

  • 与 dialogue-focal-progression 的区别:progression 讲的是焦距随剧情动态变化(从广角到长焦),此 skill 讲的是静态的焦距选择
  • 与 dialogue-telephoto-claustrophobia 的区别:claustraphobia 专门讲长焦的压迫效果,此 skill 讲焦距与气质的完整对应关系

E — 可执行步骤 (Execution)

  1. 判断角色在当前场景中的"气质定位"

    • 完成标准:明确角色应该被感知为"威胁"还是"友善",或两者之间的某个位置
  2. 选择焦距

    • 完成标准:威胁/反派→短焦(24-35mm)近拍;友善/脆弱→长焦(85-135mm)远拍;中性→标准(50mm)
    • 判停条件:如果场景需要"先友善后威胁"的转变→用 dialogue-focal-progression 代替
  3. 配合角度和高度

    • 完成标准:短焦配合低角度(增强威胁);长焦配合平视或微俯(增强脆弱感)。单独使用焦距效果有限,三要素组合才有力

B — 边界 (Boundary) ★

不要在以下情况使用此 skill

  • 用户讨论的是焦距的物理特性(景深、畸变等技术参数)——那是摄影技术问题,不是叙事问题
  • 纪录片/新闻拍摄——这些场景追求"客观",不应该用焦距操控观众感知
  • 全片统一美学风格(如全部使用定焦镜头拍摄)——焦距变化会破坏风格一致性

作者在书中警告的失败模式

  • 两个角色都用同一焦距拍→力量对比消失
  • 只用焦距不配合角度和高度→效果不明显

反模式与常见错误

  • 同一角色全片只用一种焦距——角色在不同场景中的叙事功能会变化(盟友变威胁、威胁变脆弱),但创作者因为"这是好人"就全片用长焦,错失了通过焦距变化暗示角色转变的机会
  • 把焦距的气质效果当作唯一塑造手段——焦距是"气质滤镜"而非"气质定义器",一个用短焦拍的善良角色如果表演和灯光都在传递友善,观众会感到视觉信号和叙事信号的冲突
  • 忽略场景内焦距切换的连续性——同场对话中两个角色用不同焦距拍摄,切换时焦距差异造成画面风格跳跃,观众潜意识中感到"不对劲"但说不出原因

作者的盲点 / 时代局限

  • 未考虑变形宽银幕镜头的特殊畸变效果
  • 未讨论数字摄影机传感器大小对等效焦距的影响

容易混淆的邻近方法论

  • "镜头语言"一般知识——此 skill 专注焦距与气质的对应关系,不是泛泛的"镜头知识"

Frequently asked questions

What does the Dialogue Focal Character Temperament AI skill do?

(1)同一个角色在不同场景需要显得更友好或更可怕;(2)不确定用什么焦距拍某个角色;(3)需要通过视觉手段区分好人和坏人

Why use Dialogue Focal Character Temperament on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Dialogue Focal Character Temperament is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Dialogue Focal Character Temperament in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/geegl/directorskills/tree/main/output/books/master-shots-v2/dialogue-focal-character-temperament. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Dialogue Focal Character Temperament?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Dialogue Focal Character Temperament?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Dialogue Focal Character Temperament with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Dialogue Focal Character Temperament AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by geegl under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
