1) A take, in part or in its entirety, that is used in the final edited version of the film. In a finished film we refer to a piece of the film between two edits as a shot. Whereas an edit can take the story to a different time or a different place, the action within a shot is spatially and temporally continuous. We can therefore think of a shot as a "piece of time."
2) Shots are described by distance from the subject (ECU, CU, MCU, MS, MLS, LS, ELS), by camera angle (low, high, eye-level), bycontent (two-shot, three-shot, reaction shot, establishing shot), and by any camera movement (pan, track, dolly, crane, tilt). The average feature film contains between 400 and 1,000 shots.
3) those images that are recorded continuously from the time the camera starts to the time it stops (before a cut).
