What to cut for a movie?

In film terminology, a continuous picture is called a clip, and its time length is variable. Moving from one picture to the next is cutting, which is the result of cutting the film. With the development of information technology, the application of film in animation and film production is less and less, but the name has not changed.

A shot can be a long shot or a short shot. Long shot refers to shooting a scene and a scene continuously for a long time (some as long as 10 minutes) to form a relatively complete shot paragraph. As the name implies, a long shot is a shot that takes up a long film in a period of time.

This naming is mainly symmetrical with respect to short shots. The content of the camera from the first turn-on to the turn-off is a shot. Generally, a shot that lasts more than 10 second is called a long shot.
