The difference between vision and vision

The long shot and the short shot in the film are two different shots, and the difference between them is mainly in the duration. The length of the camera from power on to power off determines the length of the lens, that is, the long lens often lasts for a long time, while the short lens is the opposite.

Long shots are mostly used in documentaries, because long shots continuously record one thing, which is the process of the audience feeling the truth, while short shots may connect unrelated shots for a short time, thus generating new meanings, so short shots are suitable for the creation of narrative montages of feature films. The short lens of a camera should be a lens with a focal length less than 70 mm, and the lens with a focal length greater than 70 mm is called a long lens.
