Today’s Objectives
A shot is the basic unit of a film and refers to one length of continuous (unedited) action.
While shooting, a shot is created when you turn the camera on (begin recording) and then
turn it off. Often, a director will record multiple takes (attempts) of
each shot in order to get one perfect take to be edited
into the final film.
While editing, a shot refers to the action between
two adjacent edit points.
