One of the most famous cinematic elements that contemporary poetry has benefited from is the cinematic shot, because poetry consists of an accumulated group of pictorial shots to give it an aesthetic aspect. Many contemporary poets have resorted to employing this technique in their poems. The reason for this influence by cinematic art is due to the completion of the poetic image through multiple pictorial angles. The poet tries to address the subject from several angles so that the poetic image appears in its fullest dimensions and clearest details. Among the poets who employed the cinematic shot technique in their poetry is Mansour Jassim Al Shamsi, the contemporary Emirati poet. This artistic technique is abundantly evident in his poetry. He started from this vision, which relies on creating the artistic image from several angles with the aim of involving the recipient in learning about the merits of the pictorial scene. . In studying the cinematic shot in Al Shamsi’s poetry, this research relied on the descriptive-analytical approach and in the light of social semiotics. The most prominent axes of this study are: The objective shot in which the narrator of the event stands as an observer without having any role in it, and the audio shot that monitors the various and different sounds that suggest to us various events and often related to some creatures and things found in nature, and the Nadir shot, which is concerned with capturing the image at the horizon and above, And a macro shot that shows the fine and small details of things.
