camera lens
🎥 镜 = mirror + 头 = head; a 'mirror-head' is a camera lens
镜 (jìng) means mirror or lens; 头 (tóu) means head and often marks a thing or tip. Together: the lens-head of a camera, hence 'lens' or 'shot/scene' in film contexts.
头 — 页 (head/page) + 豆 (bean, phonetic)
The traditional form 頭 combines 頁 (xié), meaning 'head', with 豆 (dòu) as the phonetic component. 頁 itself originally depicted a person with an emphasized head. The simplified form 头 is a modern shorthand that replaces 豆+頁 with a simpler shape while keeping the same meaning of 'head' or 'top'.
