Details about shot: What is a shot?
A SHOT IS NOT A SCENE!

Choose and focus on ONE shot in the movie and analyze it. Definition of a “shot”:

a shot is a series of frames , that runs for an uninterrupted period of time.[1] Film shots are an essential aspect of a movie where angles, transitions and cuts are used to further express emotion, ideas and movement. The term “shot” can refer to two different parts of the filmmaking process:

In production, a shot is the moment that the camera starts rolling until the moment it stops.
In film editing , a shot is the continuous footage or sequence between two edits or cuts.
